She has had loads of boyfriends, she's popular, pretty, confident and flirty but I am quite shy, not exactly thin or popular. She has started to hang around with a different group of friends and we don't have classes together so I think we are drifting apart, but I don't want to lose her. I don't think that she is a lesbian, but I think I am bisexual. What should I do?

Understand that she probably has no idea you feel this way and probably doesn't feel the same way about you. What is really striking here is not her, but you. You have started to realize that you may have romantic feelings for girls, which is important. If you think about it, you may just let her drift away. There is no sense driving yourself crazy and breaking your own heart over her right now when what you really need to do is explore your bisexual feelings so this is expressed healthily and doesn't turn into an obsession with her and a denialfest for you. Get clear in your own mind, then give her a call.
