I am so lost. The other day I was in a Google Hangout with my best friend and all of a sudden I thought, "Wow. She's so beautiful." And now I love my best friend. The problem is that we are in the seventh grade and neither of us are out lesbians to anyone. I really want to let her know how I feel by the end of 2012. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi Lost Star, Here are some tips for the different reactions you could receive, I fell in love with my best friend in the 7th grade too! 1. She could like you too. If thats the case, your golden baby! 2. She could ignore you completely. She will either go into denial of what you sent her keep being your friend or she might stop being your friend. If she ignore the email, the next step is to tell her face to face. If she stops talking to you, give her some space, she will probably get over it. She is your friend after all. 3. She could freak out. If she does, do not argue with her, youll only make things worse. Just back off and wait for her to calm down. Be patient, you cant control how other people feel. 4. She could handle it quite well, but not be a lesbian and still want to be friends. Play it cool in this situation. Just so you know, after I fell for my friend, we were together for 7 years...I hope for the best!
Thanks so much that was super helpful. I'm really nervous! I heard rumors she's gay but who knows? God I hope she's gay.
She said "it is ok if u like guys i am going to support u and it is ok i was just kidding" exactly that. what does that mean?
Oh, wow. I don't think she's a lesbian. She asked me who i like and i just said i don't know. :icon_sad:
Maybe it means she didn't take you seriously, so you're going to have to tell her all over again. Also, maybe it means you two are having trouble communicating by email, in which case you'd be better off talking to her face-to-face.
thanks. she's been giving me looks in class, so i think she takes me seriously, but has no idea i like her
You'll be all right. (*hug*) In my experience, the younger someone is, the easier it is for them to accept different genders and orientations. So if your friend is thirteenish (in seventh grade) she's likely to be accepting even if she's totally straight herself.
even more frustrated because i am not getting answers on here. oh my god what am i going to frikin do?!
You kinda have to calm down and talk to her face to face. You can't force her to like you, so there is no need to get frustrated like this. Talk to her tomorrow and ask her how she feels. If she says she is straight and doesn't like you... well that's life. You'll have to deal with it and not freak out. I hope I helped
Thanks, it did. We were in Spanish the other day and she came to sit with me for a movie we were seeing. It seemed like she was flirting with me. Or maybe just hopeful mind ---------- Post added 6th Dec 2012 at 05:39 PM ---------- Aw, fiddledeedee! Just missed her on Gmail
