Hi, I'm new to the LGBT community and Empty Closets. I have a crush on this girl who is one of my friends and she is also interested in girls. I don't think she likes me back though. Her interest in me goes on and off. When she is interested in me she is very affectionate with me. She hugs me, plays with my hair and sometimes uses me as a pillow. When she's not however, she will go off with the rest of our friends and appear to be having a great time and sometimes leave without telling anyone if she's bored. Even when she's not interested in me she still makes eye contact with me and does say hello to me when we see each other. On most days she and I don't talk much because I'm very shy and not sure how to start a conversation. She has no idea that I really really like her and I don't know what to do because I'm falling so hard for her. I'm afraid of her rejecting me, and ruining our friendship. Please help!!!!:icon_redf:help::bang:
Hmm. Tricky situation. If you want to take this further aka be in a relationship, you've to tell her that you are interested in her. And yes, it puts your friendship at risk and yes, you may have to face rejection. But, without telling her, you'll be in this by yourself. So, bring her upto speed. If you are too shy, write her a note and tell her how you feel. There are no guarantees when it comes to the matters of heart. So, take a chance. And I hope it works out for you
If she's affectionate towards you and you catch her looking at you when she's not with you, maybe she likes you but does not want to scare you off by being around you 24/7 So if you're both openly gay/bisexual, why not give it a shot and just ask her out if you have feelings for her.
Im in the same situation as you except that I dont know if she's interested in girls. I think you should move on from her, which is really hard.Or you should talk to her, chances are you will risk your friendship, or she may accept you, or you both just remain friends. Good luck.
