    Hello I'm new here...
    I'm 32 and about a year ago I fell head over heels in love with a girl. Up until that moment I'd always thought I was straight.
    I've had a hard time denying it to myself and trying to sort out my prejudices.
    I really don't know what to do; every time see her it's bittersweet because we've become good friends and I want us to get closer. She means everything to me, but I never want her to know how I feel since I'm pretty sure she doesn't feel the same.
    I've only been brave enough to open up to one of my oldest friends since I wasn't sure what was going on... But time has passed and I'm still obsessed with this girl.
    I've tried to ignore it and been on a couple of dates with boys since I met her, but I'm not interested. I don't really know much about the LGBTQ community so have no idea how to start talking to other girls in a romantic potential way so I thought I'd look here for some advice and support.
    I hope you understand and that I haven't unwittingly offended anyone.
    Shadow
