/lgbt/ please help there's a really nice girl who likes me but I'm gay and not out of the closet, and I don't want to hurt her feelings because she's sensitive and just got out of a bad relationship, what do I do? I'm too much of a pussy to just say I'm gay, and I think she took my niceness as more than me being nice

Just tell her you're gay and that you're still closeted. Most likely she's not going to spread it around.

how should I bring it up?
>tfw socially akward retard (not sure how any one could honestly like me)

If she's really nice then chances are she'll understand you telling her that you're gay and not spread it
Trust me, this happened a few times to me in High School and any other excuse ends with someone's feelings getting hurt.

Not the person you're asking but, you don't want to leave her in a position where she's interested in you for long enough that when you tell her, it dissapoints her.
Best way I found is to get them to talk about their dating life past. or present. and then listen to them and asking them where they intend to go. The conversation will probably end along the lines of "I just really want to find a nice guy" at which point it's really not that awkward to say "I know what you mean, I'm gay and finding a nice guys is really hard". It's casual and she should get the point.

"Fuck off breeder scum REEEEEE!!"
>>8328687
Has she asked you out?
>>8328726
nigger what? This whole thread is about how gay I am
>>8328729
not yet, but she has made any excuse to talk to me, I feel like she might soon, which is why I need to tell her soon
>>8328735
I'd just tell her if she asks you out or if she starts really suggesting it. Not everyone is a huge douche and will immediately spread it around. Just tell her that you've never told anyone before. She might even end up as your faghag lol

BE GONE FOUL WITCH! YOUR WIDE HIPS HOLD NO TEMPTATION FOR ME!

Honestly, outing yourself is a bad idea unless you know everyone will be okay with it. Then yeah, out yourself, there's no better time than the future.
If you tell her and she's not the person you think she is, she'll tell everyone you're gay and your life will be pretty rough until you GTFO.
Here's what you do, OP: be straightforward and say you're not interested.
"I think you've been getting the wrong idea from me recently. I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for a relationship anytime in the conceivable future. We can still be friends, but that's all."
Obviously make it sound more natural and less like PR, but that's the general idea.

Op here, thanks for all the advice, she straight up asked me if I was single and I told her I dated a dude for a while but we split, and she asked if I like girls too, and I said no but she was cool with it, so it all turned out ok in the end
