2, I agree w others who have posted about your dilemma w your friends' email.
I used to think the more people that know the more "in stone" this becomes, the more "real." It honestly felt good that people who were close to me after I told them. They have been so supportive, as I believe your friends would be too.
Don't give any details for now. You can always tell them more later if you want to.
Good luck!
