How do you tell her you like her?

Monday May 14, 2007
Hi, I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. I am really attracted to women and it’s been like that for a long time, but I also get attracted to men.

The only girl I ever came out to was one of my classmates about three weeks ago. I was really attracted to her and still am. To tell you the truth I think I am in love with her. We talked about our relationships with men. She has a boyfriend. After a couple of minutes I told her "I think I am Gay." It felt good but awkward.

She seemed shocked at first but after that day everything seemed to be cool between us. Me coming out to her made us communicate much better and open up to each other about other stuff.

I don't really know what to do because I am in love with her. Can you give me some tips as how I should talk to her about me actually liking her as more then a friend?

I think as long as your honest with one another everything else should just fall into place.

you said you are also attracted to guys which means your probably bi sexual. Tell her how you feel, just be honest.Good luck.

I had this same problem last year, but i told the young woman how i felt. I was and still am totally honest with her about the way i feel. In my case tho she don’t feel the same way towards me, but it’s cool!

As she has a boyfriend, maybe you just have to accept that she’s straight. If you tell her how you feel about her and she’s just not interested in girls it could ruin your friendship.

You could start with asking if she would ever want to have a relationship with a woman .. And see how she reacts :)
Good luck
