writes: *OP Own Title* Hello Dear Cupid;I've written here before in the past about a girl I've known for a few years who's a close friend of mine who said she was asexual until she "falls in love". Recently, another friend of mine, who's like a slightly younger sister to me, asked out a guy-friend of ours and had me keep it a secret. The reasoning behind this was that she's concerned that the female friend of ours likes him, as that's the last she heard on where she stands in preferences. The sister-friend has known that I like the female friend of ours for about a year now, and told me I should tell her how I feel so that things will stop being strained and awkward on my end,though she hadn't realized I still did until last week when she put my in an uncomfortable position by leaving me alone in the room with the female friend so she could tell the guy-friend how she felt about him. I think I upset the female friend last week, by trying not to be around her. I agree with the sister-friend that it's probably a good idea to tell her so I can get it off my chest. Problem is, I don't know how to go about doing so. How do you tell someone who's close to you that you like them, even though you're almost fairly positive they don't like you back as they've shown no signs of being interested in females?

Well its hard if she is not interested in females as you telling her this may put a strain on your friendship as she may start feeling uncomfortable around you in my eyes you have to options here
One if you think that you can carry on having a platonic friendship with this girl without your feelings getting in the way then maybe you could try it and look for a girl that is also interested in girls.
Two you can sit this girl down and tell her how you feel tell her that you like her and you are not to sure how to deal with it, if she is a close friend then she will be sympathetic even if she does feel a bit awkward, or you never know she may like you and just to scared to come out of the closet.
Whichever path you chose good luck with the future
