I’m a woman who is in love or long term crush with my best friend Iris.
We were friends for 8 years and I liked her for 6 years till now.
She is a touchy person and I don’t know if its me but what do you think these mean: sometimes she walks close to me when we walk, leans on my shoulder, once she garb my arm and held it like a hug and hold my hand.
I told her how I felt about her and she responded: It’s a shock but I’m find with it, not saying I feel the same way I don’t know what gender I like. I’m not looking for a relationship at the moment.
I don’t want a relationship either but does she like me? Or am I over my head here?
I would wait for her but I don’t know having a same sex relationship with a friend of mind is hard to picture it. I do think of it but as for real I don’t think I be ready for that either. What is with the touchiness, can people be that friendly?

A couple of my male friends are and to be honest if some people saw us who never knew us they would probably thing he and/or I are gay/bisexual but in actual fact we're both straight. We both like having a laugh I guess.
I think what she meant by her answer was exactly what she had said - that she's not ready to get into anything at the moment. She may be at a point where she is wanting to experience things and learn things and then decide where she stands regarding what sexuality she is. I had a friend who I really liked but when I pictured me and her in a relationship it just didn't seem right because she was a friend. That can happen but I think the best thing to do is just to go alone with what your friend said. She also did say she doesn't feel the same way so although that may have hurt at least she was straight with you and honest.
I'd say not to wait on her. She is still wanting to try and decide what sex she prefers and experiment so to try and push her into liking you or anything of that kind will just push her away from you as a friend. I won't say stop liking her because no one can do that but I will say move on because you never know, you may meet someone else who's better and who you feel you can connect with when it comes to having a relationship with.
Overall, I'd say she likes you, yes. But only as a friend as she said. I think best thing to do is leave it at that. She knows how you now feel about her so if her feelings do change then she will more than likely just let you know but I think you shuld move on instead of waiting for her. Would be unfair to her as well as to you. [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]
