In love with a girl

I'm a seventeen year old girl, and I've been in love with one of my (female) best friends for a couple of months now. I'm afraid if I tell her or try to make a move, she'll avoid me for a long time and things will get awkward. I've tried to move on, but I really like her. What should I do?

If you are getting vibes from her and she is flirting back with you then talking about it either directly or indirectly wouldn't be a bad idea.

You're at a complicated impasse here. You need to decide how much trust you have in her and yourself. If you think that she will eventually move on after the shock if she doesn't feel the same way then go for it- but if you feel that she is shallow and will never get over it, it may not be best to make a move. It's all up to you.

i have to said everyone is been attracted to another woman, most of all because they're sexy ones with mini skirts, big butts and big breast ;) i think i'll go for it and kiss her, just only because i'll die to see how she reacts to the kiss, but you risk your friendship and maybe she make up a false history about you telling mutual friends you're lesbo! so think well about it...

if youre willing to risk the relationship you both have then do it. i guess in this situation there is no point in trying. if you tell her and it doesnt go right and you arent friends anymore and she tells people ask your parents to move.

If your willing to lose the girl as a friend, make a move. chances are she will freak out, you shouldnt say ANYTHING, unless shes gay. then yeah make a move. but if you know shes straight dont make a move!! she was tell everyone at school, and it will def, be a problem . and drama , that you dont need girl

its better if she's also a bi..its going to be awkward if she's straight..try to observe first if she's a bi..because some girls cannot accept or deal being a bi..some girls are also confuse about their gender..

Can you ease into a general discussion about gay women? See how she reacts to the topic and, perhaps let her know that you've been a little curious about it yourself. Like I say, ease into it. If you jump right in and say "I'm a lesbian and I'm in love with you", she may retreat in a hurry. If you find that she isn't interested, then back off without confessing to her. That way you don't lose her as a friend. VOE
