I’M a guy who fell in love with his lesbian friend. When I met her, she had lesbian experiences, but still considered herself ‘straight’. We connected on all levels, and then she decided to be gay. I don’t know how to handle it.
We are super close, and I respect her decision; but she hasn’t really experienced love from either side: She just admits to liking girls. I don’t know how to talk to her about it without saying I like her.
Please don’t get mad and send back a mean email. She isn’t my typical girl, and I didn’t see this coming. Do I confess my love, or sit back and let the relationship deteriorate?

Lev,
Let it be. Making “decisions” about her sexuality isn’t the same as looking in and finding out who she is. Being undefined suggests something else is going on in her life.
What is vital for you is to look inward and understand your beliefs about love, commitment and sexual relationships. Before you pursue someone who doesn’t know who they are sexually, you need to know how you would feel if she decides she wants women, not men.
Are you okay with that? Or do you want someone who knows they want you?
Love has to be mutual to have any chance at success. Relationships are not something to try on, like a pair of shoes, because they can wound in a way that will mar your future.
