So, recently, I have developed a crush on one of my friends. I don't know if she is lesbian/bi or not, how do I tell her how I feel?
Is she homophobic? Find that out first, then consider coming out to her if you trust her. It can be tricky since you're teenagers and she might let such a secret slip out to those you don't want to. Once you're out to her, you can tell her your feelings.
Exactly. I think also it depends how close you are, who she knows and are those people going to be accepting as well, whether or not you can open up to her completely.
One of my other (straight as a pencil) friends thinks she may not be straight. But I've never asked her. I mean, you can't exactly walk up to someone like "hey, you a lesbian?" Also I go to a catholic school, so I'm probably the only lesbian. There's a girl that I think is bi, but she has a boyfriend.
LOL, I was raised Catholic, and I know quite a few people who are gay/lesbian. It might seem like you're alone, but you're really not.
