Warning, this is a long post, but worth it.
So I met my friend via the internet, back in 2013. She followed me on twitter, I followed her back, and we regularly struck up conversation as we had a lot of the same interests, until eventually we were talking constantly on Kik. At the time, she was away at college, and on the reverse end, I was still at home while all my friends were away at college, so we were both pretty lonely, so we were both an outlet for each other to vent and talk, it was great. Straight away, I thought she was hot, and I mean an absolute 10. Even my irl friends used to insist she must be a bot because “there’s no way a girl that hot just happens to like everything that you like”, but nope, she was legit, we Skyped each other a lot and became really close. At the time, she was still dating a guy she’d been with since high school, but things weren’t great between them, in fact they’d recently taken a break at the time and had only just gotten back together a little while before we’d met. He even joined one of our video calls once, and I could tell he was a lot more into her than she was into him. Anyway, to cut this part of the story short, they broke up, and she went through a tough period mentally, until it got to a point where I was worried she may do something. Eventually, one night, she broke down and came out to me as bisexual. To me, this wasn’t a big deal, but as she lived in an extremely religious part of America, with family members and a local community that was incredibly homophobic, it was tough for her to deal with and she said she’d never come out to anyone before. I’d later find out that she actually had a female friend with benefits away at college.
