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.

Rare place mark. Can't wait to see the update!

SandunesAndRainclouds · 04/03/2017 13:59

She's made the message clear that she's talking about herself. It also sounds like a massive hint that you've made assumptions about her that are incorrect - i.e. Her sexuality.

Enjoy your date Wink

GIANT SCREAMING PLACEMARK

Place mark Blush

smarties1991 · 04/03/2017 14:05

Thanks everyone. I'm very very nervous.

I'm worried I've misinterpreted everything and will feel such a fool. I'm not going to make the first move anyway. Just incase I've got it wrong. I will update after the date.

Place marking for tomorrow's update.

myoriginal3 · 04/03/2017 14:05

Yup, she's definitely interested.

TeenageCentaurMortificado · 04/03/2017 14:08

beela. Ahem we need an update TONIGHT from the loo at 18.20 thanks!!

blueskyinmarch · 04/03/2017 14:11

I do hope we are all correct OP but I also get that you want to be a little cautious. Good luck!

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 04/03/2017 14:12

Don't be nervous - at the very least, it's a night out in the company of someone you like. But I have a feeling Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night (hums Black Eyed Peas song)...

SoMuchPain · 04/03/2017 14:16

She knows and I don't think it's bad. She likes you too

WyldChyld · 04/03/2017 14:17

ARGH! Oh, OP, that is genuinely the most gorgeous thing I've read in months! She's definitely telling you she knows and she's happy! She's practically stood outside your window holding up a stereo!!

On a serious note, do NOT stress - she's your lovely friend and for God's sake girl don't get pissed beforehand. Go, eat, drink and keep us updated.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 04/03/2017 14:17

So shamelessly placemarking.

Shameless.

Secretspillernamechange · 04/03/2017 14:19

Good luck OP Grin

FurryLittleTwerp · 04/03/2017 14:19

Me too!

Hope you have a lovely evening!

WeAreEternal · 04/03/2017 14:20

If she wasn't interested she wouldn't have let you know that she knows in such an obvious way and made it clear that she isn't straight, she would have pretended she didn't know and never mentioned.

Good luck.

Shamoffour · 04/03/2017 14:21

Blatant place mark because she is definitely interested! I hope you have a fab night and get your pulling pants onWink

Good luck! Looking forward to the update

BewtySkoolDropowt · 04/03/2017 14:24

Out of curiosity, how did you get to the point of you telling her there is someone you like.

Did she ask? She may well have been fishing.

I also think she is into you.

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 04/03/2017 14:26

(sets alarm on phone for 7pm)

Truebelles · 04/03/2017 14:26

Wine enjoy tonight!

Phoebesgift · 04/03/2017 14:26

Does she date men? Has she ever hinted at being bi/lesbian? Seems weird.
