Is it normal that i am a girl and in love with my female best friend?
My best friend is a girl, and so am I. We've been best friends for over a year, and we're like twins! I don't know exactly when I started to develop feelings for her. I love her more than anything and anyone, and i've told her that, but I think that she assumes it's just as a friend. She tells me that she loves me, and made me a picture that said "Te Amo" (I love you in Spanish) and whenever we talk on the phone, text, or even say goodbye, we tell each other that we love each other. We hug lots of times a day at school. She tells me that she loves me and i'm her everything, her universe, her world and that she needs me. we call each other "love," "baby girl," "princess," "angel," "sweetheart," "wiffey," "hun," and "beautiful." I don't treat any of my friends that way, or if I do, not very often. She's had a LOT of boyfriends, a few serious. I've had about 5-10 crushes before, and they've all been guys, but i've never had a boyfriend. I don't like any guys at the moment, and haven't for about 2 years. But I've never liked a girl before. She makes jokes about being "over guys" and turning lesbian, but I don't know if she's kidding or not. We always share the bed at sleepovers. One of her ex-boyfriends thought that it seemed like we were going out more than they were. He told her to ask me if i was a lesbian, but i told my best friend no because i dont want to jeapordize our friendship. I think she just views me as a friend. I've never felt this way about someone before. We have so much in commen, and see each other almost every day. If we don't see each other for more than a few days, we're always like "I missed youuuu!!" We tell each other EVERYTHING and share a diary, and talk on the phone and/or text pretty much daily. We've kissed on the check maybe 5 times? and each time it's AMAZING, and I'd love so much to kiss her for real. she says things like "we're gonna live a long happy life together forever!!" and "i love you!!!! sooo much!!!!! no matter what happens you're always gonna be in my heart :)" and "i love you so much that I'd probably go crazy if I imagined the amount of love i have for you because its sooo much!!!" She signs her text messages with "besos!" (spanish for kisses) or xoxox sometimes. She always tells me that she loves me more than anything, and more than i love her, though i know this isnt true. I dont want to tell her that I'm in love with her, or kiss her or do anything to risk our friendship because she already has a hard life and i dont want to add to her stress. And she told me that she would probably commit suicide if she didn't have me to talk to. And if I didn't have her, I think I'd do the same. Sorry that was so long but I'm damn confused!!
