    Here we go, the cliché "I'm in love with my straight friend" scenario.
    I've known my best friend (I'm just going to call her 'S') for about 9 years, and I only realised I have developed feelings for her in the last year or so. I am pretty certain she's straight, but I think she may feel something, I'm not sure if it's just strong platonic feeling or potentially romantic feelings.
    I want to come out to her as bi and see how she reacts to that, and if she takes it well then a little after that I want to tell her how I feel. But whenever I try to tell her the words get stuck and I can't do it. I've tried dropping hints and I think she gets it, but I'm not sure.

    If you are really nervous, you could try sending her a message. That's how I've come out to many friends.
