It is going to be a tough road being that she is straight, but if you two feel attracted to each other why not give it a try. You only have one life. Just make sure that she is not experimenting with you. Some women just want that girl experience, and it seems obvious to me that you are not that type of person. I myself was straight women until I met my girlfriend. Never in my life I imagine having a relationship with a woman. It has been tough and I am still on the closet. I get panic attacks; but I am willing to stick around 'cause I love her. Good Luck!!!

Now I personally am not gay BUT my friend is and I asked her advice on this for you since I saw your questions wasn't answered yet. Here is what she said
"Dating a girl who is confused is even more confusing for me. I dated one girl who wasn't sure where she stood on it all she knew was she was drawn to me. We dated for a little bit, but the biggest issue we had was she wasn't sure what she wanted. Some weeks she would be totally into me, then not talk to me for a week because she just wasn't feeling it anymore. It was emotionally draining. I went back and forth with her like that for about 2 months too long. My advice is to give her 2 weeks to see where she stands and if she is serious about this then go from there. Also just stay on your toes and put a little wall up. Not a concrete wall but more like a lego wall. That way if you feel she is into you, you can take it down piece by piece and if she's not you're not too attached and can chalk it down to an experience." Hope she helped you out! :)
