She's gay and I'm straight (as in I have found women attractive but never acted on it )
Anyway I really actually fancy her like more than I've fancied anybody in years !!!
She thinks I'm straight ...do I dare tell her?
What would your reaction be as a gay woman thinking I'm straight ? Would you be turned off or flattered etc etc
I'm nervous but whatever I really like her.

Do it and report back! Good luck!

KokiriForest · 21/10/2018 22:59

I think you're making it seem much bigger than it is. I'm sure your friends will be fine with you fancying a woman. I think any true friend would be accepting.

nataliebat · 22/10/2018 08:29

I won't see her for 3 weeks now and I don't have her number,she's on all my social media but I don't have her number.
So I have 3 weeks of obsessing over "could she fancy me "
"Does she fancy me"
Etc etc
Argh

Natalie, you sound hopelessly adorable and I’m grinning away Grin please ask her!

Holdingonbarely · 22/10/2018 09:00

Can’t you just private message her on social media

nataliebat · 22/10/2018 10:59

I was thinking about sending her a message on Facebook messenger but her 15 year old daughter is always on her phone ,can you imagine if she read it

Could you just ask her to go out for a drink and see how you feel after that? She might just assume it's as mates if she thinks you're straight but then you could be honest if you feel something more could arise?

nataliebat · 22/10/2018 11:13

She invited me out a while ago and at the time I was feeling that she was Interested but stupidly I didn't go and she didn't ask again ..regret !

Holdingonbarely · 22/10/2018 11:19

I would just say, as I am going to see you in 3 weeks do you want to go for a drink ?
That’s pretty innocuous

Kittykat93 · 22/10/2018 12:04

Message her on Facebook op!! Will save you agonising over this for three weeks.

isitthehormones · 22/10/2018 12:11

Can you message her on Facebook asking for her number?

RayRayBidet · 22/10/2018 12:57

Defo message her OP, at least you will know if she likes you and either way you can stop obsessing.

nataliebat · 22/10/2018 13:55

Will send her a message after work just saying hello you ok..go from there

It sounds like both of you are bisexual. Just go for it! Good luck!

nataliebat · 22/10/2018 15:08

Thankyou

Good luck 💐

CosyNights · 22/10/2018 16:17

I'm watching with interest. Hope all goes well, good luck. Keep us posted! 

Gizzygizmo · 22/10/2018 16:17

Good luck Grin

BoyMad · 22/10/2018 16:17

Go for it but don't text. It's hard not to have crossed wires in text messages. Be honest, decide how you want to phrase it before you meet up.

Gizzygizmo · 22/10/2018 16:18

Love posts like these takes me back to my younger days lol... look forward to seeing what reply is Flowers

randomchap · 22/10/2018 16:24

Good luck. Hope the feelings are reciprocal and you have a great date

Getoffthetableplease · 22/10/2018 16:25

Eek I'm giddy for you Grin! I love this stage of a relationship. You have nothing to lose putting your cards on the table, just be careful to not be too much of a keen bean just because you've been thinking about it all so much for so long. Just message and say something along the lines of hey I'd really love to have a drink together when you get back, and take it from there. Admit how you feel face to face so you nothing from either of you could be taken the wrong way. It will all be fine, even if nothing comes of it, you can still be friends.

nataliebat · 22/10/2018 16:36

We get on really well but it's hard to know if it's friendly or more isn't it.
This is totally alien to me,I can't get her out of my head (it's been yearrrss) since I've been this bad.
Without sounding nuts I keep looking at her Instagram and Facebook ..hope there's no way of anyone knowing that ha ha.

nataliebat · 22/10/2018 16:37
