Here's What To Do When Your Crush Isn't Out
Dating in the queer collective can be complicated at any age, but it can be especially tricky in high school. Affection + sexual exploration + gender identity questions + parents and school and friends and LIFE = a slightly difficult thing to navigate. And that's not even taking into consideration how your devotion might be feeling. Execute you know how they identify? Where are they at with their sexual orientation? Or if they're out to their friends and family? These questions might be making you wonder: What do I do when I hope for to ask someone out, but they haven't yet come out as queer?

This tends to transpire the most when we are in our infancy of coming to terms with our bisexuality — but not always.
You view, dear reader, I can relate to this challenge myself. Recently I was starting to harbor a crush on a vertical friend of mine. She is a lovely person through and through — and as straight as they come. So what’s a girl to do? I write through it. And I wanted to share what I’ve establish worked as I pulled myself out of that place before I possibly ruined a great friendship. I wanted to grant you a
