So I’ve considered myself to be gay for the longest time. I’ve been open and comfortable with myself for a while. Last year I met a new group of friends, and long story short I met this girl who was dating another friend of mine and we’ve been best friends ever since. She’s beautiful, intelligent, and we get along perfectly. We have the same views, humor, etc.

She split up with my friend and she’s been dating around for the past couple of months after they were together for 2 years. She’s been on my mind a lot lately and I’ve just never felt this way about a girl before. I’m still not 100% sure how I’d react to having sex with her since I’ve never really done anything with a girl before either. I don’t know if I could do it or not. All I know is that I’m extremely attracted to her right now. I think about her all the time. Every time she texts me I get a massive amount of butterflies in my stomach and she just makes me extremely happy. I really do want to be with her.

I don’t know what to do. We’ve got such a good friendship. She knows I’m gay and I can talk to her about anything and she knows she can do the same with me. I haven’t mentioned anything to her about how I feel lately though.

I just figured I’d see how other LGBT people would react to this. What would you do in this situation?
