To be so jealous that she has a girlfriend?

I'm mega confused here.
I'm straight and she is clearly gay.
She's my mutual friends friend and we've all been out together /holidays etc.
We get on really well but I'm straight and she knows this.
I've found myself recently checking my phone to see if she's text and getting excited when I see her (I know that's ridiculous )
Now I've found out she's just started seeing a woman and I'm so jealous,when I seen a pic of them two I was a bit jealous /annoyed.
What's going on here?
I deffo like men as I've only dated men.
I can't get her out of my mind and it's driving me crazy because I can't even tell her.

See, those of us old enough to remember Jackie magazine know that this is what Cathy and Clare were there for.

OP there was an almost identical situation posted about this a few months ago. Unfortunately there's nothing you can really do if she's attached. Letting her know would be disrespectful to her and her girlfriend . Maybe if they ever split up you would be in with a chance?

Yes I remember an identical thread a few months ago too. The OP found out she was seeing someone so gave up.

Is that you OP? If so then your crush has a partner, not much you can do.

Sexuality can be fluid so you had a crush on a woman, not a big deal.

"Is that you OP? If so then your crush has a partner, not much you can do. "

A new girlfriend surely, not a partner.

Sounds like you might fancy her! Sexuality is fluid, so just because you have always been straight doesn't mean that you are now. Or it could just be a one off! If she has a GF then leave it, but maybe when she's single if you still feel that way - pursue it a little?

Sounds as if you fancy her!

I'm the same as you, had only ever had feelings for men but then I met a new friend and had a crush on her. It was so confusing at first because I didn't recognise it for what it was as I hadn't experienced it before but we had such an intense, territorial friendship and I would find myself feeling absolutely elated when she would text me or compliment me or post something nice about me on social media.

Years down the line we ended up sleeping together a few times. I've never had feelings for any other women since her so I've just come to the conclusion that although I'm generally attracted to men it really comes down to the individual person and how I connect to them. And I think that's a lot more common than you would think.
