The person that will know how to best tell your closest friend about your bisexuality is you! You are best friends for a reason - and only you can truly know how he/she is going to react.

However, I'd recommend you take into consideration the following points:

Your best friend may feel confused. Don't be shocked by this. You think you now someone inside out, and then all of a sudden it turns out there's this big secret they weren't even aware of.

Don't pay too much attention to your friend's initial reaction (whether negative or positive), their true feelings on the matter will make themselves evident after some careful reflection.

Where you tell your friend matters. Pick the place where you break the news carefully. If it's somewhere too intimate, he or she may assume you're coming on to them.

Do it in somewhere too public and your friend might feel uncomfortable discussing your sexuality with 10 other people eavesdropping.

Stay proud and strong. Your sexuality is something you should be proud of. True friends will support you, regardless of how they feel about your sexual preferences.

If you're worried that you'll loose all your friends when you come out as bi, you only need to look towards all the bi and gay people out there that have super-active social lives full of great friends and companions.

If your friend's really can't accept your sexuality, then I'm of the opinion that they're not friends worth having in the first place.

I am gay. It was hard to tell my best friend I was bi because, before he knew we would always ACT gay. But I was never acting, I really did like him.

So I told him that I am bi by, I had him come see me where it was just me and him, and I asked "would you ever hate me for being myself" he said "no never".

So I told him I was bi. When I said that he was surprised, but then he ran. Next day at school I though he would tell everyone, but he didnt I was glad.

And he Finlay came up to me and said "I accept that your who you want to be". It has been 3 years since that. Still only me, him, and my other close friends know

Well, if the person is your best friend like they say they are then they should always respect you for whom you are. Don't worry about it, seriously.

They may be shocked at first or whatever, but they will then accept it and then admire you for your courage and trust for them.

One of my best friends is gay - I'm a girl and he's a boy. I reacted badly - not to his face though, he was afraid of telling me because he thought I was homophobic. But now I don't care at all! I used to be homophobic but when I knew he was gay, it changed me. 

Don't be afraid, go for it.

How about just asking them? It's really rude to assume someone is something when their not.... That's how feelings get hurt and rumours start!
