Is it normal to love my same gender friend in this way?

I have a friend that I think i'm acually in love with.(i've never felt this way with anyone) but i'm confused about my sexuality. I think about her all the time. and she knows i feel this way but she's straight. BUT is it normal to be "afraid" to see her in person bc i'm embaressed about everything? and for her to be mad when i don't see her? i don't want to keep letting her down. so is it normal?

  • She knows how you feel, including your confused sexual feelings, but she is your friend. She knows who she is, and will help you and accept you. Because she is your friend. Don't be ashamed of yourself. I think you have a good friend, though she will not be your lover. But she cares. How beautiful is that? You are so lucky!

    This is the same situation I am going through right now only difference is that I am a boy But U have to look for others friends U will get new friends and forget her believe me it will work because in the same way i am trying to overcome from this and not absolutely but anywhere it is working I love him beyond this world I don't know what he feels for me But have a boyfriend that will take care of u and truly love u will definitely help u to come from this One suggestion from me just try to overcome from this as soon as possible because it will make ur life miserable as it had mad my life firstly it will heart u but the long term effects are very nice don't think about the short term effects of pain and disappointment but u have to accept that u can't have her and please accept this fact for sake of yourself..

    Like you said, you're cofused. Don't be afraid to see her, she's your friend and she understands. I had a massive crush on my straight best friend before, I was so embarressed when she found out, but she basically said, it's flattering, but it won't change anything either way.

    I'm sure she'll support you while you get yourself sorted out. It takes a while to get sexuality sorted out. XD

    Don't worry dear.I'm having the same problem as you.The only thing is that I think we(my best friend and I)both are bi.I'm not really sure by saying bi means like we really are bi but I think we both are longing for love,comfort and care around each others arm.Maybe we are in love with each other because I really care her so much and I know she cares about me too.It's normal.

    This is basically my life right now, so I really hope it's normal. Your feelings are basically the same feeling's you'd get with any crush. I wish I could say something on the mark and illuminating, but all I can say is, either you have to decide that confessing to her is worth the risk, or that just being around her is enough.

    love and sexuality get all mixed up sometimes. if you are sexually stimulated by her, then you have to decide if the friendship can withstand your changing feelings about her. it is turning into something else for you besides friendship.

    I agree with Ollieo. This is the same as if your friend were a guy and you suddenly had feelings for him. Gender has nothing to do with it. Give her a call and explain why you havent been hanging with her. She'll understand if she's a good friend. It will be fine.

    Are you seriously asking if it's normal to be gay or bisexual? Where and when are you from?
