TasteofIndia agony auntI agree with Flowergirl. If you two are involved with each other and your feelings for each other are SERIOUS, then I should think you'd be thrilled and ready to tell your friends about it. I understand if you want to wait a few weeks, but if you guys have been together longer than a month or two, I think it might be time to tell others.

I can understand how she'd be really hurting that you want to keep this relationship under wraps.

I agree with the other Aunt's and think you should seriously consider what your real feelings are. All though you say you don't feel like a lesbian, you're still in a lesbian relationship. You can say that you're bisexual if you'd like, but I don't think it's fair to your partner to keep this relationship a secret for long.

In the next few weeks, you should at least let some of your close friends know.

Good luck, sweetness.

oK, if you're saying you don't feel like a lesbian maybe you just feel an intense friendship for this girl and have been through a lot with her?

I have had girlfirend sbefore (I am female) so can easily distinguish between love as afriend and dating material.

If she insists you're in denial that's a kind of pressure which shouldn't be tolerated.

My advice would be to take some time out to evaluate how you feel before rushing into anything.

Good luck.

flower girl agony auntIf you really truely love this women then you should not feel comfortable hiding the relationship, you should be wanting to shout about it from the rooftops and be proud to say you are together, so maybe you need to question your true feelings for her.

Take care.xx.
