dd15 secret relationship??

i think my dd15 may be dating this girl she's gotten close with over the past few months. They talk on the phone every night and she always talks about her, i've also seen a few messages come up on her phone that indicate they're more than friends, should i ask her about it? a couple weeks ago i sort of jokingly asked her if she liked girls, as she's just moved friend group and all of them are gay and bi, but she just kind of laughed and brush off the question and said 'she'd never rule it out', so i'm not sure whether to ask her if she is seeing this girl or not, because she hasn't actually decided to tell me that she (possibly) likes girls too.What would you do? Am i overthinking it all, should i just leave her be?

Leave it, why do you need to know?

You can have rules in place about having friends in bedrooms if you're worried about sex but beyond that, at this age and this early, it could be something and nothing.

If she starts having her over more and you see them being intimate you could ask if they're dating but otherwise let her come to you

Just leave her be. She'll talk to you about it when she's ready.

Leave her, she'll tell you when she's ready. Dd14 has just come out as pan sexuelle, I'd been wondering if she was bi for the past couple of years so not a shock.
I've never pressed, just kept the doors of communication open especially if I asked if she had a boy/girlfriend rather than assume boyfriend. Randomly in a conversation she came out, it was really lovely.
