Long and very confusing :)

    Ok, I'll start at the start - I'm in love. The problem begins here - it's my best friend (another girl - lets call her J) and she is relatively homophobic. Right. I know I'm in love because - even if I could rewind time back to before I met her - I would still want to fall in love with her - even though she will never love me. I've told 3 of my closest friends all the details and J knows that I love somebody in our school (all girls) but doesn't know that it's her. Problem is - she's not so stupid as to not realise, considering one of my friends who I told guessed it ages ago - and we (my friends and I) think that she already knows and is pushing it to the back of her mind and hoping that it's going to go away. However 2 of the 3 friends think I should tell J how I feel. Bearing in mind she seems homophobic - I don't want to lose her as a friend - because I can barely survive the weekend without her - but one of my friends think there may be a chance she feels the same way. One of my friends thinks there is absolutley no chance of that - but then before I told one of my other friends we thought she was homophobic - she's very christian - but it turns out she is a lesbian. Please help me - I don't know whether to tell J and risk losing her (she might understand) or keep my secret - though it's kiling me not telling her and I used to burn myself to stop myself from saying anything. And it is definately a more intimate love than just wanting her to be a really close friend. Thanks everyone xXx.

    Peace. [Sole]

    I am sorry but your chances at love will be an un-requited one. I suggest you stay friends, your crush for her, will pass.

    You don't want someone who has imprinted in her head, that being gay is wrong...

    I agree with the above posts. I know how much that sucks, and I can only imagine what you're going through. But... I'd hate to see your love go to waste.

    Having her as a friend will atleast always keep her there with you. Even though you have feelings, what's worse - losing her all together and having to get over a broken heart without that person that makes you smile, or keeping her as a friend for as long as possible and gradually finding a way to get over it...

    Anyway, I've always told myself to fall in love with someone who can love me back, and love me just as much as I love them... There's no promise she can do that for you.
