Secretly make out with best friend

Hey,
My best friend and I are secretly in love. Don't get me wrong, when I say that, I honestly mean it. We have been friends for just over 6 years now and we have never fought or felt anything negative against one another ever. We know each other's souls inside and out, and we have an extremely open and trusting relationship. We miss each other as soon as we're apart, instantly after leaving eachother, and we see each other almost every day. About a year ago, we started to declare our love for each other, saying "I love you" with full meaning and depth every night after talking online or on the phone. We are both female, and straight. We love each other as people, not in a sexual "girlfriend" manner, but still our love is strong and relevant. About a month ago, we were lying down cuddling as we always do for comfort, and we just started making out. We both wanted it, and it was loving and amazing. Since then, we are both happy to carry on this way, we have always spent ALOT of time together as it is, but now its more physical. My question is, is this normal? We are not going out, or "girlfriends" or bi or lesbian. We are just best friends who express our love in a very physical manner, and we are both happy with this. Although we don't want people to know, as nobody would understand it, and just assume we were gay, when this is not the case. So the actual kissing is a secret to others. Is this normal?? Thanks.

  • Omg. Like, I feel that way about my Bff but she doesn't know about it. :-( I want to tell her but I don't want our friendship to end if she doesn't feel the same way. You two are lucky

    If two guys did this would it be the same? Like, really. I'm a female, so don't get me wrong, but when people say it's okay for women to do something, but if two men did it they're 'gay' makes me a bit upset. I don't know. I think it's completely plausible to have what you have with your friend and remain 'straight' by social standards. But I also think that doing what you're doing means there is physical attraction there, which also means you're not 100%% straight.

    Kinsey Scale, my friends. There are actually very, very few true straight people out there. More people lay in the 'bisexual' area with a high preference for one sex over the other.

    Truth, personally, I think you're bi with a heavy attraction for males over females. But eh, you do know yourself better than anyone else. What do you think about it?

      You don't have to be labled as a lesbian, just because you have curiosity, or high emotions for one person of the same sex. She states that they are both straight.
      Like I said, I had the same experience when I was younger, and I am a straight woman who has now been a serious relationship for over 4 years.

      • Oh come on now, lets not get too cute about this label stuff ... you know ... walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

        I get that homophobic fear distorts people's acceptance of who they are and what they are doing - so if you love and have sex as lesbians would - but want to call yourself straight - then fine.

        But I repeat: Its OK to be lesbian.

    im a girl, i fell in love with my best friend when i was 14 , we were in love, a couple of years later we kissed, it even got more physical... youre not straight, you love her cause she undertand you and youre also attracted to her, which is great but i mean if youre not dating, if youre not a couple, if after caring about her so much and expressing it in a physical way she get a boyfriend, or a girlfriend or whatever, would you feel betrayed? cheated on?

      Well, I wouldn't feel cheated on or anything, as we are not "going out", it has gotten more physical, but we still just acknowledge we are friends. If she got a boyfriend, I know we would stay very very close, and I would be happy to see her with someone, even though it would be weird I guess.

    Ohh my gosh! I totally understand! I have a best friend too! we've been best friends for 4 years now and we always mess around! We're both 18 and we both have boyfriends, we make out, finger each other and all other types of stuff too, but yes we love to cuddle and we do say I love you, we mean it. We're not lesbian we don't not have feelings for each other.. just as best friends, but it's fun! Like, we're completely comfortable with each other so.. it's just fun when we mess around! It's normal! you are not lesbian!

    okay, so this is totally how i felt about my best best best friend.
    we made out about 4 times.

    a week after the 4th time she stopped talking to me completely and we got in a huge fight about something else. she hasnt talked to me in 8 months and tells everyone i am gay and i am a lesbian.

    i think making out with a friend is normal.

    In 2007, my best friend and I started to read stories on Quizilla. Then we made our own and eventually started acting it out in person. Then we decided that we role-played too much, but it was like we were so used to it. We're so close, we talk on the phone every day as long as we can. We hang out every day and the second we leave we feel so sad. People think that we are too close, our families even label us as lesbians. We live in a small town where everybody knows each other, so we quarantine ourselves in a secluded part of her hallway so we can kiss, hug, talk, we have even given each other hickies. There's no sexual attraction at all, we just do it for fun and because we love each other so much. Often times, we feel like there is nobody else out there that has the same relationship that we do. It shocks me that there are people out there that have a similar relationship to us. So yes, it's definitely normal.

    Normal. It's just become abnormal because of the popularity of Freud's theories of sexual attraction; any genuine relationship, platonic or romantic or sexual, is a beautiful thing, and it's too bad that society encourages people to be cynical or hateful of each other (especially women).

    It would probably be best to keep things a secret. Many people would be unable to understand.

    This is exactly how my best friend and I used to feel for each other, even though we never did anything sexual, there was a lot of sexual tension and I truly cared for her. People called us lesbians all the time lol. It all ended when she got knocked up by some douche bag, moved four states away, and now we hardly ever talk to each other. I hope that at least your friendship stays strong and doesn't end up like our relationship did.
    Good luck(:

    You might feel happy for her but you never know how you will completely feel until she gets one(a boyfriend). In my opinion , that you are attracted to her physically and want to show her how much you love her. Maybe your not a couple right now , but would it really bother you if u were ? I just think you are more than friends since your attracted to her physically.
    There is nothing wrong in being together with her if she makes you happy :)

  • Raifuactually

    Recently I started making out with my best friend which is also a girl, and at first, she thought she was straight, but now she changed her mind and said she is confirmed bisexual. People label us as lesbians but she doesn't think that we have a romantic relationship. I don't really know if I like her, I'm just attracted to her. I like the way she touches me, kisses me etc.
    I think it's called a romantic relationship but ... I was very jealous of her boyfriend, which she recently broke up with. I like to know that she is single so I can have her and she even said she prefers me than any boy.
    I also don't know what that means XD, I am confused.

    No, it doesn't mean that. It's completely normal, I do it with my best friend and we've known each other for 8 years. And it all started 2 years ago and we were both drug, ever since we haven't stop. We've kissed, not made out, or got physical. I find it hard to believe that people have not kissed there best friend. It's normal, it's how you should your love, doesn't make you gay, lesbo, or bisexual.

    I actually did make out and hook up with my best friend. We were friends for years first and both gay, so it just made sense! In the end, we dated for a few weeks and we're better friends for it. He's married now and he's still my bestie.

  • Samesame

    It's normal but I'd say both of you aren't totally straight. But then again you can be straight up until you meet someone and fall in love. So I guess both of you are bi? Labels don't matter though especially when you love someone. I'm in the same situation with my friend. I've known her for around one and a half years. I'm a lesbian and she's bi. We kiss, hold hands, cuddle, say how beautiful eachother are and people ask "are you guys always together ". We also tell eachother we love one another which we both don't say to many people. Lol so we definitely act like a couple I feel but we're just friends. Relationships can definitely be complicated!

  • grnidiro

    Is it normal? Of course it is. Both of you are female. Today, society allows women to engage in homosexual acts like cuddling, kissing, holding hands, practically always together... lets be real, these are things that couples do together, not best friends.If the tables were turned, and you guys were males, the word bisexual, even if they had girlfriends would not be heard. You would be gay period, there is nothing wrong with being lesbian, gay, bisexual whatever... just be true to yourselves. You are not straight!!

    I think this is very normal as over the years I too have had friends similiar just true respect for each other as straight. Nothing sexual at all just deep and real trusting and yes RESPECT for the other: I believe bare is beautiful and is a true sense of real trust between true friends: I am sure you are aware one does not have many friends: loads of aquaintances at various levels but with the few friends it is normal for you to be with her the way you are: I have had similiar closeness with a male friend as well as a female friend I think I am normal because we both trust each other and respect each other as true and royal friends:

    Hi, Im in a similar situation like yourself. I have a boyfriend who I adore but I also have my best friend (a female) with whom I occasionally participate in homosexual activity. Well its been a long time since your post. i would like to know how are things going? For example, do you and your friend still maintain a friendship. Have a boyfriend? What do you recommend? And overall has this been a positive experience? etc.

    Either you're a bi-sexual in the closet, or you've become so close to each other that it's considered acceptable. All I gotta say is, if both of you are consenting adults, go for it! =)

    appearantly she's your best friend but you love her in more than a freind way but in an unsexual way yet you make out and do physical things... Perhaps you are confused. But love isnt something you can just say off like its nothing but friendship. You obviously both love eachother if you made out and cuddle. In love gender does not matter. Its your choice wheather you wanna tell people but dont deny it, you'll just be more confused.

  • I love my best friend, shes the only person i ever think about during the day other then my baby brother( what shes doing at the moment, how her days going)- and thats saying alot cuz im antisocial and out of touch with anyones feelings. I wouldnt make out with my best friend(because I'd feel like i was taking advantage of her because shes straight and im bisexual) but I love her from head to toe :).

  • dontknowme

    I can definately relate to you. My best friend and I became very close very quickly. We talked on the phone everyday for hours and spent any moment together that we could. Physically, we started with cuddling and stuff, but one day we just started kissing. At first we both agreed that that was weird and we couldn't do those kinds of things because we know we're both straight, but after that day, we just couldn't help ourselves. Now, she's off at college (I'm still a senior in high school) and she broke things off with me, which I always knew would have to happen eventually, but it's left me pretty broken. For the most part, I can deal with us solely being friends, but sometimes it's really hard and I have these overwhelming feelings for her again. It's really nice to know that somebody out there knows what I'm going through because it is something hard and strange to go through. But I'm right there in your boat.

    I'd say it is very normal. Actually when I was younger my best friend and I were the same way. Women are very caring, nurturing beings. So with your love for each other being so strong, and all the time spent together, it tends to lead to trying to pysically love, and care one anothers needs/wants.

    I suppose I could be wrong, but even if I am, at least you now know you're not alone?
