So to start, I have never had a boyfriend and have had very little male interaction, but I always considered myself straight. my roommate (who I have developed feelings for) has had a couple boyfriends and in general has more experience with men than I do. But I am beginning to question my sexuality and I am wondering if she might be too?
So the backstory: We both moved to a new state for the same job after graduating college and we have been roommates for the best 9ish months. About 3 months ago my feelings for her hit me like a truck after a night out together and it is something that I have been grappling with. I know that I do really like her but I am scared. 1) because we are best friends/coworkers/roommates and I would hate for any of those things to get ruined. 2) because as far as I know she is straight and as far as she knows I am straight. so that makes things more complicated.
There are different things that have happened in recent months that make me think that she might have feelings for me too, but I am scared that I am delusional. I really don’t think I am being unreasonable, but I just need advice. I can get into the details of the events that make me think she has feelings for me too if you want. But basically we have both been single since moving to this new state two years ago and we have basically been attached at the hip for the past year. I have never felt a connection like this with anyone before and I have never been physically attracted to someone like I have with her.
I really need advice/tips on what to do because I am in a really tough situation. I can’t keep doing what I am doing and not telling her how I feel, but I am terrified. Please help.
