I'm in love with my straight best friend

I am in love with my best friend. We are both girls. She is straight, I'm MOSTLY asexual, but I've always been attracted to her. I've known her for a little over a year now; we got to know eachother really fast. She's my best friend, and pretty much the only person I trust. Anyway, I fell for her REALLY quickly, and at that point I had never had feelings for another girl. She's the only good thing in my life, the only person I'm really comfortable around, and just the best thing that's ever happened to me. The only "true friend" I've ever had. We act like a couple; we run up and hug whenever we see each other and say "I love you" every day.... I told her in October that I had feelings for her and she was so accepting, she just said that she was glad that I had told her. And that was that. Since then we haven't brought it up. But, whenever she spends the night here and her sister doesn't come with her, we always end up cuddled up on the couch and sleep that way, and she's very... touchy with me and I know that's she's not like that with anyone else. She also gets uncomfortable when I talk about other girls that I have interest in, though we talk about things like that all the time, with her talking about guys and me talking about girls or guys.... I'm pretty sure she knows that I still love her, but she doesn't seem phased by it at all... if fact, she kind of flirts with me from time to time. Is our friendship normal?

    My guess would be that she enjoys the closeness for example I had a guy mate ( I am female) and neither of us was attracted to each-other in that way but we still would cuddle up on the couch to watch a movie ect its like a boyfriend in every way except the sexual one maby your friend enjoys the relationship in this way or maby there is actually attraction there

    This seems interesting. So far very one has good points.. Yeah it's either she is happy with how the friendship is and she's just comfortable with you in that way, or she has feelings and won't admit it because it feels weird for her because she is straight(maybe now a little bi curious) I have to say I h e never had this type of relationship with my girl best friend.

    Maybe she does have feelings for you, but she is a bit confused about it due to the fact she has always known herself as straight, and/ or by the fact that she has these feelings for you.. Maybe talk to her about it. she already knows you like her, and with a little support, maybe she will be able to find out for sure if she does or doesn't.

    Ok you're not asexual you are gay and ashamed. Quit being ashamed but don't tell your friend. Get her drunk and take advantage of her. Preferably when her crush is around... She'll be more accepting because she'll be trying to impress him. I mean ummmm that sucks.

    I think you have a healthy relationship, and you are very comfortable. Maybe she has feelings for you, too, but she is afraid to admit it because it isn't socially acceptable.
