Re: Not sure how to define my feelings for my friend

[personal profile] biohazardgirl 2012-07-18 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
It's ok. You're not alone. It's never stated out loud, but most of my close friendships have been quasi-romantic friendships, at least on my side of the equation (we become very close, we flirt a lot, we cuddle and tickle each other etc.). There's nothing wrong with falling in love with your friends, even if you/they/both of you are already in a relationship. It's actually really nice to have another half of yourself that doesn't have any of the sexual pressure that being in a relationship has (although it can be kind of confusing at first when you question whether or not you do want the closeness to extend into a more sexual nature).

If you really are curious though about having a physical relationship (and you're both single), why not just ask her if she's ever been interested in women. Don't put pressure on it or anything, but just have a frank conversation about sexuality. Then if you've both talked about it and she IS a bit curious, maybe suggest being Kissing Friends for a while, just to try it out?

Thanks, I’m kind of glad to hear that, it’s good to know I’m not the only one. And it’s a very interesting angle, the lack of sexual pressure – I hadn’t considered that at all. It's something interesting to consider.

Actually, we already have frank conversations about sexuality (both in general and personal terms), so although we’ve never talked about it in relation to anything happening between us, I feel like I do know her thoughts and feelings on the subject in general. Which is the reason why I’m pretty sure reciprocation of any feelings beyond friendship is unlikely but not impossible.
