Question: Am I Gay if I find myself liking my friend? I have found lately that one of girl friends that I haven't seen for a few months and have always enjoyed her company I'm thinking about all the time.  It's not as if I'd want to have a relationship or anything because I don't think I'm that way inclined, I've always gone out with guys before. But everything seems to remind me of her at the moment and I'm getting a bit freaked ut about it. Am I gay??

Answer: hey, don't freak out! If I had a penny for every friend of mine that wanted to (or did) experiment with someone of the same sex, I'd have a penny from every friend. Not even kidding.  I'm gay myself, so many people feel comfortable telling me when they want to dip their big toe in the gay pool, so to speak. Sometimes it's because a girl is just sick of men altogether, sometimes they're in your situation, sometimes they just want to try something new... the reasons are limitless and all are totally rational.  I'm guessing that because this is a friend of yours that you are not gay... being attracted to a friend of any sex in normal, even I find myself having temporary attractions for my girlfriends.... but always temporary. If this attraction persists and grows stronger, then I would encourage you to pursue it.. although I'm not sure whether your friend is gay or bi or what. Tell her what you're feeling as long as it wont freak her out. maybe get some advice from your closest friends. If you continue to feel this way about other girls too, then you may be gay and that's okay.. it's a scary thought I know, but once you know who you like you'll learn to love who you are. fact. But if I gave a penny for every friend who wanted to experiment and ended up gay, I'd probably only have to give up a couple, if that. Do what feels right...that's my philosophy. ♡\nI hope I could help!!
