I need some advice

[ZPup96]

So, I’ve recently found out through a forum a friend of mine is Zoo, and he doesn’t know that I know, but I would like to approach him about it, for I’d love to have more friends who are and can be open to me about it. I don’t know how I would go about doing so. Any advice?

Start out with just this, "I have to tell you, I was so happy to find out on (whatever site) that you're zoo just like me! That's fantastic!"

I'll come at this from a personal angle. How well do you know this friend, and how close are you two? Depending on the answer I'd *personally* have two different reactions.

If it's a friend that I kind of sort of know, but don't know very well, came up to me and stated "Hey, I heard you're a zoophile. I too like diddling with animals!" I'd likely be freaking the hell out! And more than likely I'd go on the defensive in an attempt to protect me and my girls. As well as ask them where they got that *incorrect* information from for damage control.

If it's someone I'm very close with, like... very close with, and they told me "Hey, I heard you're a zoophile. I too like diddling with animals!" I'd likely ask where they found that information out so that I could try to manage damage control. And if possible, scrub that information from existence. But if I knew them very well, I'd likely come clean about it.

I had a situation where I had admitted it to a friend because we're both close and like most of the same things. I knew I wouldn't be judged but that's the only time I have ever openly spoke about it. It's tough depending on how close you are to people. I probably wouldn't admit to it even with hard evidence unless I knew that person for a very very long time.
