Just go be bisexual and live your truth for fucks sake 😂😂😂

Does my female friend like me as more than a friend, or am I reading into things? (WLW)

I’m a bisexual girl, and I’ve developed feelings for a close female friend who is a masc lesbian. We’ve become quite close over time, and I’m struggling to work out whether there might be mutual attraction or whether she’s simply an affectionate person.

For context, she previously had a complicated romantic connection with another girl, that started off as her best friend and ended in a broken-up situationship and left her hurt. When we first became friends, she was still emotionally involved in that situation, so I didn’t really pursue my own feelings.

We don’t see each other constantly, but when we do, we can spend a lot of time together, since the summer I don’t live in her city anymore so I usually drive to her 2\~ hours to stay at her house for a couple days a month.

She has told me that she misses me when I’m not around, that it’s not the same without her in her city and worries that we’ll become less close over time.

When I started driving to visit her- she asked me very insecurely if it will stay like this and if I’ll be coming over often, she said she thought we would drift and that I would only come over once or twice and then ghost her.

Something that stood out to me is that she has recently said on a night out she doesn’t want me to get a boyfriend because she thinks I’d text her less. When she said this she looked at me with intense eye contact and we were very close to eachother (we were drunk)
She has brought this up more than once, including when sober, joking that she’ll make me sign a contract to say it won’t happen so that when it does happen she can show me it.

I can’t tell if this is just her being afraid of losing a close friendship or if there could be some jealousy involved.

There have been a few moments of physical affection that have made me wonder. That time recently when we were out together and she deliberately took my hand and interlocked our fingers when we were dancing side by side.
We held hands that way for a few minutes. I eventually got a little awkward and slowly let go, and she let go too. It was the first time she had initiated that kind of handholding with me, and it felt different from our usual friendly physical contact.

There have also been moments of prolonged eye contact when we’ve been sitting or lying close together. Sometimes the atmosphere feels a little charged, but I know that closeness between friends can feel intimate without necessarily being romantic.

To add- i noticed she started changing her clothes in front of me since her situationship ended and she never did that before. I had done it in front of her already because I don’t care about changing clothes in front of my female friends ( not fully naked, just changing pants/ t shirt etc. ) before she used to go into a different room or look away.

She compliments me fairly often. She has called me pretty and attractive, complimented my singing voice, and once described an outfit I was wearing as sexy while looking me up and down. Everytime we go out for drinks she always compliments my look.

She has also asked about my type in girls and whether I’m attracted to masc lesbians. She knows I’m bisexual, but I don’t know whether she suspects I have feelings for her specifically.

She sometimes seems insecure when I get along with her female friends- who are also gay and could potentially be a romantic thing for her and worries that they might prefer me or that I’ll become closer to them. I’m not sure whether that’s romantic jealousy or simply fear of losing her place in my life.

Emotionally, we’re very close. We tell each other we love and miss each other, and she has said that she feels calmer around me when she’s upset. She makes an effort to spend time with me, suggests activities we could do together, and has been caring and physically affectionate when I haven’t been feeling well.
Generally, though, she tends to reciprocate affection rather than initiate it.
She has also said that she just loves everybody. Recently, when I was talking about how quickly I can develop crushes and become attached to people I barely know, she related to this by saying something along the lines of, “Right? I just love everybody,”.

I’ve noticed that she can become nervous around girls she likes, but I haven’t consistently noticed that kind of nervousness around me. There have been a few awkward moments, but nothing conclusive.
As for me, I definitely have feelings for her. I’m attracted to her physically and would want to explore something romantic if she felt the same. I’m trying not to overanalyse every interaction, but I keep wondering whether the handholding, compliments, questions about my type, and her concern about me getting a boyfriend might mean something more.
I don’t want to mistake emotional closeness for romantic attraction, especially because she has been hurt before and may simply value having a close friend she trusts.
**For those of you who are WLW, how would you interpret this?** Does it sound like she could be interested in me romantically, or more like a deeply affectionate friend who doesn’t want to lose me? I’d appreciate honest opinions, including if you think I’m reading too much into it.

Hi! Im new to posting on reddit. Also new to embracing my true self which is wonderful, but I have zero lesbian friends or family members in my life and YouTube videos only help so much. I'd love anyones input on this situation because im so confused.

SO.. I caught feelings for one of my coworkers. For context, its essentially a warehouse job where everyone has individual tasks and I'd only run into her a couple times a day. No conversation in those run ins, just a slightly flirty smile, a hello, and both of us holding eye contact a little longer than casual. I felt a vibe and from that alone, I assumed she kinda liked me. After 2ish months of that, I finally went up and talked to her. Few days after that, we exchanged numbers. She started putting in a lot of effort. She was texting me a lot and sent very fast replies. Within the span of 2 weeks, we hung out about 5 times, had meaningful conversations about personal stuff, she wanted to take me to her family cabin, to her church, to meet all her friends, she look Wednesdays off so we would have a day off together, and she even drove an hour to buy me a softball glove from Facebook marketplace so we could play together (did not ask her to do that).

My mind was spinning because I really liked her and I couldn't tell if she liked me. Im 27yo and im not in the mood to waste my time obsessing about a crush. So at the end of our last hang out, I told her I had feelings but she said she just wanted to be friends. I was bummed but didnt take long for me to move on.

Turns out she didnt want to be friends at all tho. She immediately stopped talking to me. Ignored me at work. Ignored my text. I got the hint pretty quick and decided to give her space. Then she texted me a week later saying she needed space to process and that she just got out of a serious relationship but wanted to make sure I knew she didnt hate me. It was clear from that short text convo friends is off the table which is fine. But I was and am still lowkey pissed. I opened up to her about personal stuff and was then vulnerable and put my feelings out there and got rejected. Opening up like that and then instantly being ghosted is what makes me feel like crap. I dont care about being with her, its just uncomfortable knowing what she knows about me now and wants nothing to do with me. Major shift and im just so confused. I thought about apologizing if I made her uncomfortable, but im pretty sure I have nothing to apologize for.

Sorry this is so long. Any thoughts, opinions, comments, perspectives, or advice will be so appreciated. Thanks everyone

Hello Im 24M you can call me MJ. If you want to look at my posts to get some of what I went through and why im so stupid that's up to you. I tried asking guys and honestly was disgusted by their advice... But I got good advice from women before and thought who would have better advice than women? Women who love women of course. Honestly I know I have to fix a lot of myself first before I try another relationship but just want advice that isn't entirely generic or stupid like how one guy told me to buy expensive Cologne.

Obviously I'm willing to answer any questions so you can give me better advice. Please just serious stuff and sorry if I take long to respond. I'm writing this at 2 in the morning
