    I've always been straight until now i am really hitting on one of my bestfriends. I would just love to kiss her and cuddle with her. I dont know what to do right now and am looking for some advice.

    Hey welcome to EC. Take a deep breath it is going to be ok.

    So are you single? Is your friend single? Do you know if your friend is attracted to girls?

    Well I cant tell you what you are but you are in the right place to ask questions and get support from people who are or have been where you are.
    Looking at what you have written about imagining kissing your friend etc, I would suggest that you arent straight but labels really aren't important and if you want a label you should pick whichever one feels most right to you.

    If she's straight, that might cause problems between your relationship. What attracted you to her? Do you feel the need to tell her?

    Do you think it is really a crush or just a slight attraction. I have had this problem before, and it didnt work out well for me. I dated this girl for a while, had been crushing hard on her for ages, but altjough she said she was les she really was straight. We were best friends and more for two years.
    I haven't seen her in almost a year. We are nor friends anymore. So think carefully what you want to do.

    Hello lostgirl8,

    Liking someone without knowing for sure if that person is interested in the same gender or not sucks. Been there, done that, twice.

    I agree with silverhalo, labelling is just an easy way to put a name to something, but it isn't really that important. If you like someone, you just do. I'm a strong believer in that.

    As for what you should do, I can't really tell you that. I do highly encourage you to think long and hard about it. If you really feel the need to clarify whatever is going on between you two, you must prepare yourself for the outcome, especially the bad one. But if you choose to keep the attraction to yourself, just a heads up, it'll be a bumpy ride ahead.

    Similar outcome to solangelo7's experience happened to me, I lost a best friend of 2 years because I fell for her and couldn't control my feelings.

    So stay strong, and don't make hasty decisions! Best of luck :slight_smile:
