    My best friend is bi.

    I think she might have a crush on me, and I like the idea of it. I would be jealous if she was crushing on someone else, especially if it were a girl.

    I think that I also have a cursh on her, but, I’m straight. I don’t feel attracted to girls, but I do feel attracted to guys. Sure, girls can be hot, but not in the same way guys are to me.
    But with her it’s just different. I don’t feel physically attracted to her, but there’s just something about her that I can’t explain. She makes me feel a certain way that none of my other close friends do.
    I like being with her, and lately we’ve spent a lot of time togheter. She’s very affectionate, especially with me, which made me uncomfortable at first, but now I like it.
    I have thought of kissing her many times, but could never imagine having sex with her.

    I’m just so confused. I’ve never been attracted to girls, and can’t see myself with a girl other than her. I’ve never been in a relationship before (aside from elementary school “relationships”), so do I have an actual crush, or am I just craving affection?

    I have to smile.... :slight_smile: What you are describing is so precious and beautiful... I feel warm and fuzzy and happy just reading it. Who cares what it is, it is just wonderful. :slight_smile:

    Now, that I said that, the objective part, let me add the part where my subjective part comes in, especially given my more advanced age: what you are describing here is a real crush, possibly a beautiful budding romance. :slight_smile: You might be gay, bi, pan whatever, I am not great with labels, but I would so treasure what you feel, what you have right now.

    I send you love, a warm hug, and the best of luck to you. If you would like to talk more, I will be listening. :slight_smile:

    Hello, I am going through the same thing right now. But in reverse. I’m a lesbian and I recently fell in love with a really good friend who is straight. She is the best and has made happier than I’ve ever been!! I told her my feelings and thankfully we are still good friends. I think I was experincing both, A crush and attention.
