Your sexual make up is encoded in your DNA. You had no more choice in your sexual make up than the sex you were born as or the color of your eyes. So you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Embrace who you are and enjoy your life.
As to your friend. I would suggest that it might be appropriate to come out and tell her your a lesbian. Tell her that as your friend you wanted her to know so see didn't need to wonder or be concerned that you might come on to her. Also you are open to answering any questions she may have. Assure her, even though you want to have a sexual relationship with her,(you don't tell her that) that you will not try to seduce her.
If she is bi or a lesbian herself you have given her the opportunity to tell you and then the two of you can, if you both desire, to move forward into a sexual relationship.
If you value her friendship do not try to seduce her. Any furthering of the relationship into a sexual relationship has to be first on her terms after you come out to her. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

On the sex thing, in my humble (and old) opinion, friends first, sex later. Unless you're just looking for a meaningless sex-up, in which case all bets are off, I guess.
