My best friend likes me
So my best friend came out to me the other day. I did not think anything of it, and she is still my best friend. However, she just told me that i was the reason she likes girls. I was "that girl" that she liked. I obviously still love her as my best friend, however, i sometimes feel awkward going over to her house and watching a movie, or just doing anything close to her. What should i do? i dont want it to ruin our friendship.

okay so I know how you feel because this exact situation has happened to me before. It was awkward for awhile but you just have to be there and support her. Make sure she knows that you are absolutely fine with it but also that you just can't like her in "that way". It may take awhile but soon enough she will realize that she cant have you even if she wants you. Just tell her that other people will come along that will be better for her and things like that. After awhile, things will ease up and be totally awkwardness-free. Just dont leave her as a friend because of this.

This is a tough one. It was a bit unfair of your friend to confess her "crush" on you. Coming out to you is one thing, but revealing a crush on you makes me think she hoped you might reciprocate her feelings. But it put you in a bad spot by making you uncomfortable with someone you consider a best friend. She owes you an apology. That information should have been kept to herself, as its obviously made you uncomfortable. And its ok that you feel that way. Its just a little odd to find out a close friend feels that way about you, because it changes the dynamics a little bit. But that doesn't mean it will always be that way. You need to have an honest conversation with her and tell her how awkward her confession made you feel, and then let her know that you still value her friendship, but its hard to be around her right now. See what she says. She may say something that eases your mind, or she may have some suggestions to help the both of you move to a better place in your friendship. Maybe a little time apart might be the best thing . It will give you time to get used to the situation. Whatever happens, just know that it won't always feel this awkward and you can get back to that good friendship you always had, it will just take time. Good luck.

Just let her know that you're not interested in her like that, and that you're hoping that you can still be friends. Basically, like you would tell a guy friend if he told you that he was interested in you, and you didn't feel that way about him.
