Weird text. Does she know it's her I like? [blush]

I very recently came out as lesbian. I've dated several men in my life but nothing has come of it so it's been so freeing to finally be out and proud! :-D

I really like one of my best female friends. I've always known she wasn't lesbian or bisexual so I've just left it.

I have a few drinks and just started telling her about how there's a woman I do like but she's straight so not interested. Caught myself saying too much and swifty changed the subject.

My friend text me today asking if I was going to tell the female friend I liked that I liked her.

I was mortified that she had remembered but I just replied saying 'oh I was just a bit tipsy last night. It's not big deal. I've already forgotten about it. Looking forward to tonight'.

She replied asking why I wasn't going to tell her how I felt.

Annoyed that she had brought the conversation back I said that the woman is not lesbian, does not feel the same, there's no point carrying this on'.

She replied saying I do not know she isn't lesbian and why don't I just tell her.

I then got annoyed and said I do not want to tell her, so please just leave it. I know she isn't lesbian.

Then she replied saying:

' Ah fair enough but you don't know that do you. Right now she's bored. Right now she's sat here doing spreadsheets. Right now she's drinking coffee. Right now she's eating a salad. Right now she's contemplating getting some water from the dispenser. But she's certainly not straight' See you at 6pm.'

HUH? I've not replied. Mumsnet users please help me. What does that even mean?! She couldn't possibly know it's her. Does she think it' someone she works with? I don't even know any of them.

Perhaps the AS function should be removed if mentioning another thread by the same poster warrants deletion.

No, I love this kind of cuteness regardless of sexual preference. Not even sure if I care if it's real or not...it made me smile and squee on a lonely Saturday night!

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 04/03/2017 20:11

But there was a thread last night where a female poster had fallen for her male best friend, and posters were equally encouraging.

DimplesToadfoot · 04/03/2017 20:13

All the happy clappy 'Squeeee' type posts and 'this is the most exciting thread EVER', only happens when the two people in question are looking at a same sex relationship.

Not so, I remember one post in particular where a lass slept with her male boss and was asking 'oh shit what now' kind of thing, everyone was on her side and elated when she announced they were now a couple

we just adore happy posts :-)

MiddleClassProblem · 04/03/2017 20:14

Ditto, just love a happy ending. Also love the MN rallying round threads and the wedding witnesses threads etc

Ilovewillow · 04/03/2017 20:14

Such a lovely update! Enjoy!

Also, did people really report Malcolm?! [rolls eyes]

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 04/03/2017 20:18

Exactly! I think most posters just love a bit of joy from time to time, amongst all the unhappiness we see on MN. I believe these posts and I don't really understand the mindset of posters who want to go troll-hunting on a thread that has given a lot of pleasure to others.

Owlish · 04/03/2017 20:19

Smarties, I've been reading your thread, though I haven't posted on it before, but I'm absolutely thrilled for you. Very best of luck Wine

Lessthanaballpark · 04/03/2017 20:19

Did you say 'hang on, I have to post a message to a bunch of imaginary people on the interwebs to tell them I've pulled'??

Imaginary?! You know it's actually real people posting right? Grin

theoracleofdelphi · 04/03/2017 20:19
