A female United States age 22-25, *uh writes:

I am 24 and mormon.......I never have been attracted to women in any way. Over the past couple months I have begun hanging out with this girl who is also mormon.

We had been casual friends for about a year but then found out we had tons in common and have been gradually hanging out more. We have gotten extremely close, hanging out everyday and texting each other or taking on the phone throughout the day and I think about her all the time. We will be up until 3 or 4 in the morning just talking and I have never been able to open up to someone the way I can her.

I feel a deep emotional connection to her, but at the same time I don't think I am gay. What can I do?

q1605 agony aunt if all the increase in texting and calling and hanging out is welcomed and reciprocated then what you should do is to keep doing what you are doing. Feel what you feel and be happy you have found a friend that makes you as comfortable as she does.

huh is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Maybe I wasn't as specific....I am attracted to my friend on an emotional level and that is why I am confused. I care for her more than friends and have never felt this way about someone before.

q1605 agony aunt Maybe you do wonder if you are gay but you have been raised in with such rigidly structured philosophy of how this could be so wrong that for you to even take a step in this direction is unthinkable. Its a cliche but think outside the box you have been raised in. if you are gay and you are repressing it the sooner you come to terms with it the better. don't waste large portions of your life living it according to some one else beliefs and not living it fully because you have to reconcile your urges against someone else's beliefs.
