Hello, so I’m a bi woman in a relationship with a cis man. I’ve become good friends with someone I work with who is gay,asexual and is trans. We’ve become closer as friends, we talk every day, we’ve confided a lot of stuff in each other. I don’t really have friends where I live,outside of my boyfriend, & they’re kind of the first real friendship I’ve made here. I’ve found myself having these feelings towards them..I don’t know if it’s like a crush or if it’s just excitement or something from finally having a real friendship..I’m having a hard time deciphering these feelings. I found myself really anticipating their daily text messages & I feel sad when I don’t hear from them. when I see them at work I feel excited and in a better mood. They also have a lot of mental health stuff going on, so I’ve just been trying to be there for them as much as possible & be a good friend. Whatever it is I’m feeling is confusing me and I don’t think it would ever be a good idea to tell my friend about it. This situation is a whole new experience for me and I don’t know what to do.
