Maybe it's time

I am struggling with the concept of telling some people I am dating someone. Currently, only my bestfriend knows. Normally, this would be no big deal, but the fact that it is a girl makes it a huge deal. I know my girlfriend really wants me to come out to people and I totally understand her point, but it is extremely hard for me. My family will not be as accepting. I am old enough and live on my own, etc. but I guess knowing how people are going to react sways me the other way. I attempted to tell my aunt on the phone tonight. She is a very busy person and didn't really have time to talk. Kind of like the previous two times I tried to tell her. She doesn't live around me, but is coming home this weekend. If there is any time I may try it again. I kind of want people to know because I am sick of hiding. I am hopeful my friends will be cool with it too. Time will tell I guess.
