Im bi, i lost my best friend after coming out, i knew she was a homophobe but i didnt realise how badly. I was a mess, however i got new friends who didnt care, and support me, they were friends before but now we're colser. It showed me who is impotrant. Personally im not bullied for it, however itss partly because i ont care what they think. Its none of there buisness, tell people if you get with this dude, or dont. its up to you two. If anyone says anything, well you shoulnt feel bad or be upset, i pity them for being small minded and unable to see that its perfectly natural. Dont be ashamed, but o everything on your terms. It sounds like you and this dude are into eachother right? It wont hhurt to give it a go, and you said it yourself, you like him more. Its your life, ont let other people decide how you live.
hope this helps?
PM me if you need anyone to talk to or any more advice
