... [rethink what I want] in a man?

So anyway I meet a classmate of mine who became a girl-crush of sorts. I don't know why but I just admire her so much - she's just so ridiculous, in a good way. She's unbelivably accomplished (and humble about it), smart, generous, friendly, free-spirited, thoughtful, beautiful, humourous and ambitious. I can't help but smile when I see her, she makes me want to be a better person. It's like although I could never be sexual with another female, she made me rethink what qualities I want in a man.

I just don't know if it's normal that [this] would make me break up with my bf (which it did), since I consider myself 100% straight.

    completely normal.

    The trigger may be different, but everybody evaluates their life, their wishes and what they long for every now and then.
    In this case, you realized that this friend is a much preferrable person to be with over the boyfriend you had. And that those things you "accepted" as good enough until now, are not. You want better, and you know there has to be "better" out there.
    Staying together with him after realizing that he does not fulfill you would be settling for second best(at most). If your feelings for him were not strong enough to override this, then you did exactly the right thing and it was normal.

    Not fake, but gay.

    Sometimes all you need is that one good "girlfriend" to (even if she didn't actually say it) tell you that you deserve better!
