To the eye, does this seem like flirting?

Question - (29 October 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 1 November 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *enniferwitton writes:

I'm 19, a girl, and I'm gay. This other girl, she's also 19, I don't know if she's gay or not. I'm guessing that she's straight because she's a christian. That breaks my heart so I try not to think about that.

Anyway, there's this guy (my good friend) who likes her. I was the one who 'introduced' him to her at the first place. I told him that there's a very attractive girl in my class and told him to look out for her. That's how he ended up liking her. So a few months ago, she told him that she doesn't like him in that way. And ever since she told him that, he has assumed that she likes ME. He is now upset with me because he says I am 'flirting' with her. Truth be told, I like her a lot. But I have never flirted with her! At least to my knowledge, I've never done that.

Tell me if you think this is flirting: I bump into her, we stop to talk and somehow, end up sputtering over our words (don't know why this always happen). While we speak, we're both smiling. When I said goodbye last week to her, she lurched forward and held my hand briefly. She squeezed a few of my fingers and smiled, saying goodbye as she did. If you were passing by, and you saw this exchange, would you think we were flirting? Especially if you know that I'm gay?

I don't know, I guess I'm just confused that he'd think that way. I don't want us to fight over this girl but it seems like we are already.

Does she know you're gay? If she does, ask her what she thinks about it? If she is against it, she'll tell you. But just because she's a Christian doesn't mean she can't be gay. I'm a Christian and I'm gay! If she knows you're gay an is still grabbing your hand, then she probably likes you! And if that's the case, it sounds like SHE'S flirting with you, not necessarily you flirting with her. Explain this to your friend. He's probably just hurt because he liked her, but will eventually understand. If she doesn't know you're gay then she is probably just being friendly and nothing you mentioned is particularly flirtatious. Good luck! I know how hard it is to fall for a straight friend. I hope it works out for you and the girl and with your guy friend!

Don't know about the flirting thing, but just because someone is christian doesn't mean their automatically straight. Its possible if she is gay she won't admit it for awhile, but she would still be gay.
