Best girl-friend likes me ...but I'm gay

The same thing happened to me. My best friend since I was 3 kind of always liked me as we grew up. Our parents used to say that we would get married some day. In high school, it went from playful crush to her expressing interest in me directly. Not wanting to lose my friend, I had to come out to her, even though I was not out to anyone else yet. It was a lot for her to take in and we didn't really talk about it that day. But now our friendship is even better than it was before. If you want to take that route, it has worked out tremendously for me. However, if you don't feel that you are ready, maybe express interest in another girl to let her down in that way. The end result is that you want this friendship to remain just that, so this option should work as well.

 

well that happens alot with me since i flirt with the ladies alot so some of them get it wrong the only way to do it is to say that your gay to her im sure that girls are so accepting about this
so tell her even though at first she will get hurt a little because she liked you but she will get over it dont worry because its better than leaving her dreaming that one day you two are going to be together i know how girls dream trust me i lived with 4 of them so break that dream before it gets bigger she has the right to know if she likes you that way

 

Maybe you should just tell her you're gay? Better now than later. Anyways, most straight girls I know go nuts over the idea of having a gay best friend. She might insist upon making you go shopping with her but you should be okay in the long run. She'll be glad that you told her. ^^

 

You have to come out to her. Tell her she's your best friend and you love her but your gay, explain to her why your not out but that your bringing her into that part of your life because you care for her and don't want her to get hurt. Even if she didn't have feelings for you its hard to not be out to someone your that close to.

 

i used to have the same probleme (twice), just tell people that you're not going out with her , and that she's your bestfriend that's why you're always together , even if u tell only a few people they'll pass the news to others , other than this there isn't anything much to do

 

I dated a guy for ~6 months before he realized he was gay and broke it off very suddenly. I liked him for almost a year before we even started dating, so it was really weird and unexpected, and took a lot of time to get used to it.

If she really did like you her attraction isn't going to go away right away, even if she was really accepting. It was really weird with my ex for a while, but once I got used to the idea of him being gay my attraction went away and we could be good friends again. Hopefully that will happen with you two as well!

I'm really proud of you for coming out to her, that was a great first step good luck with everything!
