Am I a Lesbian?

I've got only one question for you.....How do I know that I'm a lesbian??? I've been thinking of my best friend very differently lately. I think I may be in love with her! Could you please help me realize if I am or if I'm not a lesbian????????

Dear Confused Girl:
Well, the good news is, you're not alone. I hear from one or two young women each week who are wondering the same thing about themselves. The bad news is, there is no simple and easy way to tell if you are a lesbian or not. It's a question that every lesbian must ask herself. Some bisexual and straight women also question their sexuality. Are you a lesbian or not? This article might help you figure it out.
