    Okay, so maybe its not too odd, but I feel guilty sometimes when I realize I like a girl who I know is straight. I'm fine when I like someone who I think is interested back, but if they are not interested I worry I'll make them feel uncomfortable.

    Does anyone else ever feel this way? I find that I'll be looking at some girl I like and if she realizes I'm looking at her I'll turn away quickly and feel bad for staring. I feel like some sort of predator.

    I can totally relate, especially since I'm attracted to a couple of my straight male friends. I always worry about if I'm looking at them too much, sitting too close to them, etc., and if I do, I practically pray that it went unnoticed. I'm definitely worried about making the straight feel uncomfortable around me, which is why I try my hardest to keep to myself as much as possible.

    Sorry that wasn't very helpful, heh, but you really aren't alone in this mindset ^^

    I've been feeling the exact same way lately! Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

    I feel the same way a lot of the time. Only it's not limited to people I have... physical crushes on. Any time I'm looking in someone's general direction (even not at them) and then turn and glance my way I get really nervous and self-conscious. I don't know why.

    I get that sometimes. Especially seeing as she knows I had (and still do have) feelings for her. Luckily when she found out she was pretty cool with it. But I do feel guilty sometimes if I look at her during class or something.
