I think I might be in love, but I'm not sure...?

Question

I've had feelings for another girl for quite sometime (and yes, I am a girl myself), but I don't know whether they're "I love you" feelings or just plain "I like you as friend" feelings.

Whenever I'm around her, I get butterflies in my stomach and get pretty nervous. I want her to like me and always worry about saying something stupid that will cause her to hate me. I constantly want to be near her and I think about her a lot. After I spend time with her, I come away feeling beautiful, happy, and...I don't know, light, I guess. Like nothing in the world matters anymore.

What do you think? Could I be a L*****n? Or do I just really respect her as a friend? I dunno, I'm just really confused. I don't have a problem being a L*****n, I'm just trying to figure out if I am or not.

Answer 1

I think you might be a L*****n, if you are not attracted to the male gender. I think you are feeling the actual "I love you" feelings. It looks just like a normal crush to me, except with the same gender and there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe it will pass, maybe it won't - and if it doesn't, you could be a L*****n.

However, it could also be a feeling of wanting to be accepted. Maybe she's more "popular"? I used to get the same feelings, at least i thought. Nowadays it sprouted into something bigger.

But whatever makes you feel happy, and whatever makes you feel beautiful and right is awesome...And if you want to keep feeling that way, I suggest taking it to a new level and seeing if youre okay with that, and how it feels. And if you're not, maybe you were just bicurious Which is okay. Everyone gets a little bit curious..

Good luck :]

Answer 2

I cant answer this question. I have nothing positive to say or even something you do not want to hear.

Answer 3

yes ur a L*****n  

Answer 4

sometimes love doesn't see gender. it could be a really strong platonic love, like a sister. but if you feel yourself wanting to hold her or some other romantic act, you may be in love with her. your description of how you feel is really sweet. :)

Answer 5

The chances are that you are not  a L*****n. You are going through a lot of changes now and it feels really good when you find someone that you connect with.

Answer 6

Sounds like more than friends...

Answer 7

I have to say that I'm in the same situation. Its extremely hard. I have to say from personal experience. I wouldn't act on it. I have a friend who likes men and I normally like men but sometimes certain woman just get to me. Anyway. I'm very attracted to her. I even have sexual dreams about her. I know she cares about me but not in the same way I do.

So just be careful. You don't want to ruin your friendship or what you have going. That's a hard boundary to cross.
