How would you deal with this...

I'm sure this topic has come up on here hundreds of times but it would be super cool if someone could give me some advice.

Ok so I fell in love with my best friend who is also a girl a little over a year ago. This is the first time I've had feelings for a girl and realised I am bisexual. She's the only person who knows I'm bisexual and she has no problem with it. She says shes straight.

So here's the thing, I get the feeling she maybe likes me back. I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure she must know by now how I feel about her. Or maybe she just thinks I'm super weird haha. We text almost everyday for hours and hours. When were together we always make eye contact. If were at a party or standing around at school but are talking to different people I always catch her looking at me. Were both really awkward around each other but not in a bad way. And when we hug it feels different.

A couple of weeks ago at a party we were both really drunk and ended up locking ourselves in a room and having a heart to heart. I can't remember much of the conversation but we were both crying. I remember I was crying because I like her but I can't tell her because I'm scared it messes everything up. I'm not sure exactly what I said to her but I remember asking her why she was so upset and she said something along the lines of "I can't tell you right now, I'll text you tomorrow" so the next again day I text her asking what was wrong with her and she replied "I just don't want to talk about it. No one knows" ever since then I've wondered what she wanted to tell me. But I don't want to upset her by asking again.

When were out together we do stupid things to eachother like I guess it could be seen as flirting. But I don't know. So I was wondering what your views are on this? Do you think she maybe likes me back/knows I like her/ should I tell her I like her? Thanks guys x

If you like her, and have liked her for a while I'd say tell her. Kind of make it so you're both really comfortable with each other and it it doesn't come up at a bad time or its out of place or youre around the wrong people(if anyone is near you at all).

It sounds to me very much like your friend is have a real hard time accepting that she has feelings for you. If her background and upbringing are conservative and homophobic then you can understand the stress she's under. She may be wanting to try out her feelings for you and at the same time very afraid of it. You could get some quiet time together and suggest it to her. If that's what it is, she may be very relieved that you brought it up.
