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.

I'm so jealous. I miss all the butterflies and romance and the first kisses

Good luck for tonight op.

OP - you've said she's lovely and confident. That coupled wtih her reply to you totally implies that IF the woman you're talking about is her then she will indeed be receptive.

Also, if she is lovely then she doesn't sound like the type to embarrass you, on the slim chance that it isn't her.

Go for it - seize the day! (Wear nice underwear at the very least!)

LurkingQuietly · 04/03/2017 15:06

Best. Thread. Ever!

Enjoy tonight, OP. My DH will be thrilled at me checking for an update during our own date night Grin

You say she has dated men, well so have you.

Agree she is interested. Good luck. Keeping fingers crossed for a good update later.

Good luck

Blatherskite · 04/03/2017 15:20

I think that message was a pretty obvious green light... have fun tonight and do please update us!

PuntCuffin · 04/03/2017 15:33

Definitely not place marking here. But that text is definitely a 'she likes you' text.
Enjoy your evening.

LifeAsWeKnowIt · 04/03/2017 15:33

I hope it all goes well for you!

teenagetantrums · 04/03/2017 15:34

She def likes you and wants you to tell her. Voice of experience here. My friend thought l was,straight, mainly because l have kids.to cut a long story short we have been together for a year now. Very happy and in love. Just go for it you have nothing to lose. If l hadn't felt the same way l wouldn't have rejected her friendship just because she asked me out. The friendship was to good to lose, but as it turned out l got bored of waiting and made a move on her. Good luck tonight

neveradullmoment99 · 04/03/2017 15:34

Hope it all works out for you OP Grin
