I love my friend. I think she's straight. How do I ask?

Oh god, the straight girls... This is a tough one. I would gently ask about sexuality. Maybe you should bring up your opinion on some form of bigotry involving LGBTQA rights or issues, and speak about it passionately. That will at least start a conversation, and maybe you'll get a feeling on her options about it, at least. Move up from there, based off of her reaction.

 

Maybe pick up an article or click on one while your with her as if you found it on a social site and ask what she thinks of homosexuality etc.. and go from there.. you never know where it might lead... if she's cool with I all, maybe tell her if you feel comfortable.

 

I was in a situation like this. I was deeply in love with my friend and I still am. She got married and had a child.They got divorced since then and I still love her the same. I've been wanting her for years.

I brought up the situation without it being weird but that's because she's very chill and laid back.

 

when talking about the future or whenever the topic of a partner comes up just say boyfriend or girlfriend when talking about hers.like "could you ever imagine having kids with your boyfriend or girlfriend?".that way you can test the waters without coming out to her, it just seems like you want to be respectfull of her own sexuality.If a person is straight they usually say something about them being straight when you do this.if you don't get an answer like that there is a chance she isn't 100% straight.

 

It only gets weird and awkward if you make it weird and awkward haha. Just kid around and ask her if she could see herself with a woman and see what she says.
