I have known one of my really close friends since about first grade. She has always been a person I go to for a great girl's night out; we shop together, watch movies, etc. She's amazingly talented and we've always shared our passion for writing.
Well, the problem is, she's...er...kind of a flirt. With everyone. Not in a bad way; she's classy and very quick-witted, and she has a tendency to make every guy in a room fall for her within a few minutes. She just doesn't limit it to guys, either. Although she says she's 100% straight, she's always hugging and flirting with girls as well. She says she's confident about her sexuality, which is why being jokingly flirting with a girl doesn't awkward her out.
I've recently come to the realization that I am pansexual. That is, I'm gender-blind; whether you're a boy, girl, transgender, crossdresser, etc. doesn't matter to me. I haven't come out to my friends yet, seeing as a few people I know are extremely judgemental and I'm waiting for the right time.
My friend has still continued to be overly flirty with me. She's very touchy-feely, and calls me her 'husband' jokingly when she introduces me to people. I don't want to admit that I am REALLY attracted to her (although I'm not in love with her or anything; I just find her extremely sexy). I feel like crap when she touches me and I actually like it.
How do I try to handle this? Do I keep clammed up and just enjoy the attention, or do I tell her the truth?

She did say she is comfortable with her sexuality meaning she knows she is fully straight so its comfortable for her to do what she wants without feeling awkward. Thats why she is so comfortable around both sexes.I dont think you should try to do anything with her since she is your friend and she likes guys. You can still tell her your secret if you are confident in her that she wont freak out about it and wont tell nobody and still loves you for you. If you do tell her you never know it could come with a good outcome. If you dont feel confident that she will still be your good friend and isnttruthworthy dont tell her just yet. Well i hoped i help. [ tay030693's advice column | Ask tay030693 A Question ]
