Straight Girlfriend- how can I go about this?

Hey, I'm sorry if this seems a bit nonsensical, but I have a friend I things escalated with that I'm certain is straight (I know her well)- she really doesn't mean to be stringing me along, but I don't want to be a jerk and knowingly let her first date (I was already her first kiss) be with a girl and feigned to herself. I really don't want to hurt any feelings though, also. Do you folks think I should let her deal with it in her own space and not say anything, or is that wrong as it probably means that she'll have regret and guilt later? Thanks for the feedback. Sorry for over complicating this so much, I just want to hear what people without a stake in this have to say.

I like her a lot. We mainly got close through being in the same friend circle, then things kind of just escalated.

 

She knows I like girls, and I do know for sure she's straight. Weird circumstances I guess- I'm just not really sure I can be objective about this, I'd be grateful for any input.

 

You're right, I should probably tread carefully. The thing is, knowing her well, I'm sure she's straight but really just wants a romantic relationship. We're in an all girls religious school, so she doesn't really have many opportunities. I think I'm a bit of a rather-this-than nothing option. This makes her sound bad, but again, I know she really doesn't mean to string me along. I'm just wondering what the best thing to do would be, as later on she may regret this (especially if it starts to heat up.) This is all information I probably should have mentioned from the get-go! Sorry. But thank you, seriously, for responding.

 

Yeah, I guess the best thing to do here is just try and talk it out- not my forte, but probably just the best way to get everything out in the open. I'll probably just try to bring it up and play it by ear. There're no magic answers.
Anyways, thanks, folks!

Hey, so status update. This may be a bit long.

Anyways, I brought up the topic of orientation, figuring that if she wants to express any doubts she would, and if she doesn't she wouldn't. As I think I mentioned, we were friends for a while before things became romantic, so she knows me well and saw where I was headed pretty quickly.
She pretty much said (paraphrasing) that after we kissed she realized that she couldn't feel anything at all with a girl, though she originally thought (quoting) "beggars can't be choosers, but still." Again, I was pretty much the only option, all girls religious school. So I asked why she kept me hanging around. Apparently she figured I wouldn't find anyone else anyways, and didn't want the conversation. I was a little bit dazed, so she kind of just kept talking and said she wasn't sure that being gay is actually a thing since she tried it and saw for herself and that I'd eventually wake up like her, hopefully.

I'm not really sure what to say at this point. I know she's not malicious and she's actually really great in so many ways, and I know she figures we're still going to be fine as friends. I don't really think she realizes how upset I am.
Jesus, I feel like a real teenager.. Sorry for pouring my heart out to you strangers on the internet, its just that I can't really discuss it with people in the flesh and feel lonely. Thanks.

I'm

Thanks all. I'm just going to go along with it, avoid her a little for the next few days so I'll be civil. It's just a shame since she's actually a really wonderful person on so many levels, I know she sounded like she was saying something stupid, but you'd really have to know her- she isn't like that. She just didn't really have many options. I just hope she changes her mind, not very likely but I'm not going to give up yet, and anyways, what's the rush? Thanks again. Have a good one.
