Sexuality & Friendship

Dear Coming Through The Rye Staff,

I asked a question on Yahoo! ages ago asking if they thought I was bisexual.  And they said I was too young and should wait to make the decision.  I really think I am though.  I think I have feelings for my best friend.  She’s a girl by the way and so am I.

I love everything about her.  We’ve known each other for two years.  And come to think of it, she’s the reason I questioned my sexuality!  I remember the other week, she thought she had a crush on one of our other friends (who is also a girl), and I remember thinking “that’s fine.”  However, in truth I was crushed.  By the way, my best friend isn’t a lesbian.  In the end it was just a girl crush that she had – nothing serious.

People on Yahoo! are saying I should just go for it, but I’m wondering if she will say no.  If so, will it make things weird?  Maybe I should get a wingman to tip her off for me.

I really don’t know what to do!  Can you please give me some advice?

Thanks,

Jamie
