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.

Shameless placemarking.

TatterdemalionAspie · 04/03/2017 16:26

After your last reply, she's probably worrying herself silly that it wasn't her that you meant after all, and that she's just made a complete tit of herself!

Ilovewillow · 04/03/2017 16:43

Sounds like she's interested to me, how exciting! GO! Don't get tipsy but have a great time!

daisychain01 · 04/03/2017 16:46

Remember that she can still be your friend, even if things don't become romantic. It means there is less pressure on you, if you can focus more on the fact you and she can remain on the warmest of terms no matter what.

If it's meant to be then great. But it doesn't need to be the end of the world. Sounds like, from your updates that you are very level headed about it all which is fab.

Have a memorable evening with your friend x

I am so over invested in your love life now op Grin

Settled down with my best friend with children now, so if you don't mind I'm going to relive those butterflies vicariously through you!

It's so exciting when you are feeling out whether someone feels the same about you.

I went for it and I'm so glad I did. Have fun tonight op! Wink
