A good friend or a potential girlfriend?

Question - (9 April 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 9 April 2009)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So there is this girl and I think she is amazing. Shes smart, helpful, pretty, and nice and I really like her. There are two problems here though, I am a girl and so is she. She knows that I am a lesbian but has no idea or at least I think she has no idea that I like her. We've known each other for about two and a half years and we had started actually talking a lot this year.

It started out her sitting with me on the bus. I am completely comfortable around her and not shy at all like I am around other girls, which is weird. It's so obvious that I like her also and even my friend has noticed it because I always poke her sides to make her laugh.

Another thing is that sometimes she randomly out of nowhere laughs and also laughs when I don't say anything funny. She doesn't seem to mind me being close to her at all. She used to like staring into my eyes because she knew that I can't keep eye contact with someone and it bugged me. She is always telling me that if anyone hurts me or anything she will always be there for me. I don't know if shes just being a good friend or if she likes me how I like her.

Answers Please?

It seems to me that your friend is sending you mixed signals. It sounds like she's flirting with you. Maybe being confronted with your sexuality has made her question her own and she's confused. This happened to me when I found out a friend was bisexual but nothing ever happened.

I can offer you two solutions;

1. You ask her outright if anything will ever happen and tell her how you feel. I've done this with 3 different guys, with varied results. However, this could affect your friendship in a negative way if she rejects you. It also feels horrible and humiliating if she rejects you. OR

2. Be a little more forward. Flirt with her and see how she reacts. I would suggest this one because you can decide yourself whether or not to do something without affecting your friendship.

I really think you should go for it. I never regretted telling any of those guys how I felt, and I feel proud of myself that I could do that when so many girls can't.

I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that I've been helpful.

Let me know how it goes ;)
