And, then you ironically develop feelings for this person (emotionally), and then you start to feel other things (for her) and wonder about other women... I guess you are either bi or lesbian, right? So, is it fair... At that point to say, hey, I have feelings for you now... And, why the hell did you step into my shower... And now I have to come forth and admit I felt more...?... Why couldn't you just wait 10 more minutes for the shower? lol.

reader, anonymous, writes (10 June 2008): I don't exactly know how I feel towards my best friend. She's openly bisexual, and I'm fine with that. What's weird, though, is that whenever we're together, she'd kiss me almost anywhere (cheeks, neck, nose, just not the lips), hold me tight against her for extended periods of time, caress me, and sometimes she asks me to kiss her, which I playfully refuse.
What's strange is I love the way it feels when she handles me that way. I think she just turned me bisexual, and I think I like-like her. Do you guys think she likes me that way, too? What should I do?

I like my friend but she all out straight...
She likes a guy that is quite cute but I'm jealous
I'm afraid to tell her how I feel...
I tried confesesing to her but when I said, " I Love you" she thought it was the best friend way and she said I love you back...
I feel like I don't know what I am anymore... I user to be obsesed with guy but now I'm inlove with my best friend...

i was over a while ago and we were wrestling for a phone, she accidently touched my crotch because i flick my legs up when somebody tickles me andddddd i felt something. it scared me so bad because i thought being bi was wrong. and i never really knew how to tell her. i eventually did and tried to cover it up by saying i'm sure it was just because something touched me there, just like if someone were to tickle you- even if you didn't like them you'd still respond hahaha. so she was convinced and still is that it was nothing more.
i think i'm going to call her up tonight and talk about it with her.
thank you guys SO much.
you're all awesome.
good luck xxx.

reader, anonymous, writes (20 January 2008): Don't tell her! It will kill your friendship....hope the feelings will go away, someday they will. I was in your shoes some time a go....and thought by telling her how I felt was the honest and right thing to do. It wasn't. It turned out to be the most painful thing (emotionally) I had ever done. She initially acted like everything was ok (and made it clear she did not feel the same way). But then right after, she told some people that turned it around and made it a big joke. It caused tension with a family member, and we never really became as close friends as we once were. She stopped talking to me for about a year. Later as time passed, we began to talk and put it behind us. I did eventually get over those feelings, but our friendship as I knew it, never really survived. She is married now with 2 kids, and we talk occassionally. I put that part of myself away, and choose to ignore it. For better or worse, my life is a lot easier now. I just try not to get too close to women as friends. I know this doesn't sound like the idea answer, but it is the hard reality for many women like myself. What ever you choose to do, I wish you the best.

reader, anonymous, writes (15 August 2007): I have a best friend that I have been friends with for a very long time. He once made a move on me... long ago, but I reacted wrongly out of fear, and the fact of the matter is that I taught myself not to like him that way, because back then I felt It would be wrong... and to be honest I have always felt he was very attractive... and well... hes my friend too. I was also affraid that If we went that direction, I might lose a friend I truely care about, and loved as a friend... maybe because he would change his mind about his sexuality etc etc. Now many years have passed. Ive come to terms with many things... this friend now lives with me... and I am having a hard time... because I am extremely attracted to him in every way. I want to tell him somehow... and I'm prepaired to hear that he dosent like me in the same way.... I just want to be honest with him... and I dont wanna lose my friendship with him. I do love him as a friend first and foremost. How do I tell him. Im also worried that if Im not direct enough... he may think Im Bi but not intrested in him... when he could be intrested in me. What do I do? Please help. I just wanna know where I stand. Hearing him say hes not attracted to me in that way... I could begin working with that. But as it stands now.... I have so many emotions and things I want to say... if only I knew they would be welcomed.

reader, anonymous, writes (14 July 2007): I can relate to your situation. I fell in love with my friend; it has really raised some questions for me personally. I decided to wait and see what would happen with the friendship. There was no reason to forces the issue when I wasn’t sure if it was love or a very strong infatuation. I think that to feel something is one thing, but to voice it is another.
If you’re at that point where you feel you need to voice it then you should, but if you’re content with your friendship I think you should just wait and see what happens. Maybe try to bring up bisexuality in a conversation and see what she thinks on that. Also you might want to tell her that you’re bisexual before you tell her you have feeling for her.

If your friendship is that close i would be suprised if she didn't suspect something already. I don't think you should come right out and tell her you're bi and attracted to her, but instead let it come out slowly so she has time to digest it. I'm sure if you think about it you can come up with ways to lead her into a conversation about sex and bi sex, so you can get her feelings about it.
Good luck.

 hey, well it MIGHT reck your friendship because she may be straight and she may feel arcward around you if you tell her, maybe ask her if she has ever had feelings for girls? if she has then go from there, but if she hasn't i would keep it quite for a while, but if you feel you need to tell her tell her privately and not to tell any1, if she is like "OH MY GOD" and not feeling the same way, make it out as if you was joking around.
GOOD LUCK
