Sure you should still be friends as you have a nice time in her company right!
Don't wreck a good friendship for something your friend can't help. She maybe bi but it don't mean she is going to hit on you. She still likes boys as well you know.
The fact she owned up to being bisexual means she trusts you and she must have been brave to do so. Don't worry about her hitting on you just enjoy her company.

Hope this helps.

This is a very hard topic to get on but Im not going to affend anyone! Now friends are so called people that will be there for you till the end! keep that in my mind! Teen suscide is among a very high rate in this time in the most of it has to do with bi or gay teens! So instead of turning in your friend be there for Her just simply let her know that you aren't bi but you will be by her side! You don't know what she is thinking in her head and by her telling you! That just means you are important to her! So Please be supportive we don't need more teen blood sheded!

I am old enough to be your grandfather and maybe the maturity of my age will help you decide what to do if the advice fro the other advisers has not already done so.

You friend is today the same person she was the day before she came out to you about her sexuality. This was a big step for her; one that not only took a lot of courage bit showed how much she trusts you to keep her trust (secret).

She is still the same person she was before she told you she is bi, you can still do all the things you did together before she told you. Whatever those things that young girls do together, make-up parties, sleep-overs, double dates nothings changed.

To be frank is this young lady is the same age as you she may not be a confirmed bi as at your age teenagers, boys and girls are still searching out their sexuality. Puberty and the resulting changes caused by the new hormones raging through your bodies are causing her to explore her sexuality in away that is different from how you are.

In college I found, and so will you, a large number of girls who were bi that today are as straight as an arrow. Why was this. For one thing it was safer to have sex with say a roommate or dorm-mate, it was more convenient and it relieved the sexual tension that builds up.

There is nothing wrong with being bi or gay. If you want or feel you have to; tell your girlfriend that your happy for her but you are not into a bi lifestyle but want to remain friends and ask her not to try and get you to try any lesbian sex with her.

antionette answered Saturday October 16 2010, 1:34 am:
She obviously considers you to be a rather close friend, I'm assuming, if she confided this in you. But dear, there is nothing to be afraid of. She is no different now than she was before. Just because someone is bi/homosexual does not mean they are interested in you. It's the same thing as having a straight friend. There is no difference. Be a good friend, be supportive, ask her questions (I doubt she'll get offended by any of them), instead of running away from this, learn about it, sexuality has nothing to do with friendship. I want to make this clear sweetie, just because someone is bi/homosexual does not mean they are attracted to everyone of their same sex. It's the same thing as being straight. You're straight? That doesn't mean you are attracted to every boy you see right? Friends don't judge other friends. Keep an open-mind dearie.

coconutcatastrophe answered Friday October 15 2010, 9:56 pm:
don't just drop her as a friend, she confided in you and seems to trust you if she told you that. if she knows you're straight she won't hit on you.

AdviceMistress answered Friday October 15 2010, 6:35 pm:
Well this is a good sign. Clearly she trusts you as a friend and feels like she can tell you anything. Don't be scared that she's bi...just because she's bi doesn't mean she's attracted to you. It may seem weird but think of it as a good thing clearly she trusts you so that must mean you're a great friend!

MissYMelisS answered Friday October 15 2010, 12:33 pm:
Omgee because like, obviously of someone is gay or bi they obviously like any other girl they see!

Do you realize how bad that sounds? This girl is your friend and she trusts you enough to confide in you. Instead of shutting her out of your life why don't you be a good friend and be there for her?

NinjaNeer answered Friday October 15 2010, 12:20 pm:
If you had a brother, would you worry about him hitting on you just because he likes girls?

If you let her know that you are 100% straight, she won't hit on you. Best friends are like sisters. She won't jeopardize your friendship.

Her telling you about her bisexuality is a huge deal. It means that she trusts you and wants to be honest with you. It means that she trusts you to be her friend and to not judge her. Keep that in mind when you're making decisions and judgments.

Sweet_LiL_Angel answered Friday October 15 2010, 11:42 am:
if you are honest to god her friend. weather best friend or not you will accept who she is and she will understand that you are not that way everything can be the same between you to. she still likes guys you can still talk about guys you can still go to dances and movies. you were friends with her before she told you whats the big deal.

corporate_casual answered Sunday August 15 2004, 5:29 pm:
If she's your best friend it shouldn't matter what sexuality she is. Don't look at her any differently for being bi. And just because she's friends with you, it does not mean that she's suddenly going to develop a crush on you just because she likes girls. It's like if you have guy friends, you don't have a crush on every single guy you meet just because you're straight. You have to think about her like you thought about her before she told you she was bi. If she confided this in you, that means she obviously trusts you and values your friendship. Try to be as good a friend as possible and try to go back to normal, just because you know something about her that you didn't know before does not make her any different of a person.

Well you shouldn't just dump your bestfriend because she's bi. It probably took up a lot of guts for her to tell you that. You should still be her friend, she probably needs someone to be there for her.

AmAnDaAlLeN answered Sunday August 15 2004, 12:45 pm:
Hey... I am 14 too... I think you should invite your friend to the mall and sit down in the food court and tell her that you want to still be her friend because she is your best friend but you dont want her to think that you are lesbian or bi either and you dont want her to hit on you...if she does you could probably talk to her about it again...and if she does it a second time try to stop hanging out with her slowly...and hang out with her in public places when you do hang out and if you are comoratable with it you could have her stay the night but i dont suggest it.

Its her choice of who she likes. My best friend is BI and i have no problem with it. She prolly wont hit on u cause she already knows ur not into that. If she does hit on u.. just flat out tell her (nicely) that ur not into girls.

Hope I helped!! Drop one in the Inbox if u need anything else!

xo_Meg_ox answered Sunday August 15 2004, 1:21 am:
if your friend got up enough courage to tell you, then she probably needs your support right now, and her personality hasn't changed just because you found this out! also, not to sound rude but look at it from this perspective ~ isn't it a little cocky to think she'll like you just because you're a girl? i mean, you don't like every guy you're friends with, right?? just let her kno that you are okay with her being that way but that you aren't !

But like she would never hit on me cause we're friends... and she jus doesn't think of me or our other friends that way!... I hope this kinda helped you out!...

what is the big deal about finding out that your friend is bi or lesbian?

you're afraid she's gonna hit on you because she's bi?

well are you gonna end your friendships with all your guy friends because they're straight and might hit on you?

LoStNcOnFuZeD answered Saturday August 14 2004, 10:30 pm:
If she's your best friend then I think you should be able to talk to her about how you're feeling. She obviously trusts you, otherwise she wouldn't have told you. She is going to need somebody to be there for her through this because it's probably not any easier for her then it is for you. Be a friend to her and stand by her side. It couldn't have been easy for her to tell you, because if she cares what anybody thinks of her it's you. Good Luck ~*CaSSiE*~

She's still the same person! Stay her friend, you would want her to be your friend if you told her something. If she does start hitting on you, say that you don't care for it. If that doesn't help, then you might want to consider new friends. Hopefully she'll be open to talking about your boundaries until you're both comfortable.
