I know this is a much-abused question here on YA but I figure most of you will have something comforting or helpful to say. I'm a 16 year old girl, and I've always been sure that I've been straight. I've dated around and never had a doubt about my own sexuality until now. I recently found out one of my friends is bisexual, and I have had platonic relationships with lesbians and bisxuals before. But the thing is, right when I found out, I felt attracted to her, but not just in a friendly way, sexually too. I'd go so far as to say I have a crush on her. However, I've NEVER thought of her has anything more than a classmate and acquaintance before I found out. In fact, I've never even thought about being with another female in the romantic sense before. I don't know why I'm attracted to her either. I'm not afraid to tell people if it turns out I really am, but I'm more concerned that this is just a phase that will pass. I'm also reluctant to say anything to her, because we've been friends for two years and I know she asked another girl out, which does upset me a bit. What to do?
Not to mention, for two years now, I didn't know she was bisexual. I just now realize that I used to flirt with her, but I thought it was playful banter. It makes me wonder what she actually thought all those times I would hug her and tell her I loved her, even though I was just kidding around. I think I might be over thinking things, but I'm confused.
