No, of course not! Coming out is a personal choice, and it's totally up to you whether to come out or not. The most important thing is to make sure you feel comfortable and safe, and if coming out will make you feel better, go for it, but if it doesn't, you have zero obligation.

No you do it to who you feel comfortable telling....in time that may result in more people knowing
Its never something you should feel you have to do or feel pressured into doing
I think for most people when they are in a committed relationship they do end up coming out as they want people to know they are in love

No it's not necessary to come out to everyone. Tell who you trust, it's not everyone's business to know who you love. Their opinion of you shouldn't change because of you're sexuality.

I believe that is something you decide. You don't 'have' to do anything. And it doesn't have to be as 'official' for everyone. For example, telling your parents may be quite important, while colleagues finding out about your sexuality may just 'happen', for example if you mention having e.g. a boyfriend/girlfriend when you're at work :) Personally I think that if you don't want to come out to someone, you don't have to. I do think coming out to people can be sort of a 'relief', to have people who also know that part of you, so you have people to talk to. Ultimately, it's your life and your decision :) Hope this is helpful!

Of course not, you live your life the way you want to live it. You're in control of your life, and when it comes down to it you will have to support yourself, and be your own rock. Don't let your happiness depend on someone else love. xx

This is your life. You get to chose depending on how you feel. There's no "right" or "wrong" way of doing anything that makes you happy.

No, you don't. You come out to whoever you want at whatever pace you want.

I know coming out is a huge deal for some, but I find it to be a very private matter for me. I don't think I've ever felt the need to have a formal conversation explaining the type of people I am attracted to. I'd say it's a highly individual experience and there is no right or wrong way to go about it!

No, you do not have to come out to everyone. Coke out when you are comfortable and you feel safe. And if you cannot come out to everyone, than so be it.

It is all your choice who and where and when you come out to. You are the controller of your own life. No one else.
