writes:I've been best friends this girl for about a year and a half now. Let's call her Natalie. I've never really been interested in girls before, except maybe once in high school. I attended an all girls academy for three years then it closed down due to financial problems. I liked one girl for about a week and then I realized it was just a phase. I transferred to this new school- a coed one. When I first met Natalie, I thought she was so shy. She was exactly like me, and she still is. However, I'd say that I'm more socially interactive. As of right now, she's like the person I was three years ago. Anyway, I'm getting off track.We've both had boyfriends. Natalie broke up with her boyfriend this past February. I broke up with mine a year ago, and I haven't dated since then. I didn't see Natalie for five months (since February) because I have been dealing with some personal drama. Now we've been hanging out a little more, and I've realized how much I've been missing her. And I feel as if we're not close as we used to be. Natalie's boyfriend used to be the one to open her up when we all hung out. Now that he's gone, she's become socially awkward, she doesn't talk as much. Even to me. The thing is, I get so excited to talk to her or see her face. She's very beautiful by the way. However, I can't picture myself being with Natalie in that way. I'm not against same-sex relationships, but it's not for me. I'm not sure what it is, but I just want to hold Natalie and hug her. I can't help staring at her, like I said she's very beautiful. Most of the time I feel like Natalie's my daughter. Because she's shy, I feel as if I need to be the one to protect her since her boyfriend stepped out of the picture. I want to be the one she comes to for comfort, a shoulder to cry on. But why do I get so excited to see Natalie? It's like I get butterflies in my stomach. I've only felt those butterflies one other time in my life- with my first love who I still love by the way. He and I are not on speaking terms. So what do you think? Do you think I might "like" her? I don't think she would ever like me in that way.

 hi! I'm in fact a lesbian... i understand very well what you feel... it's very natural to get attracted with the same sex...don't worry i think your not the same as me... you just like her and that's it... don't be afraid of what you feel..instead show her what you really feels..care for her and protect her just like an older sister or best frinds... she needs you specially at times like this.. she needs someone to talk to, someone to understand her,.. it would be very nice if you will be the one to show that love and care... i assure you it feels great! just go on... everything what you feel righr now is very all natural... Goodluck!
