QUOTE(guyson @ Jan 29 2016, 01:48 PM) Firstly, you are at a crossroad. Not telling her, you have to deal with all the feelings you are having, and it is only going to be time before they take over you and blurs your judgement. Telling her might cause her to steer away from you (or at least i think that is how you feel it would go down). Which means rejection towards your honest feelings, leaving you vulnerable and broken. That fear itself is causing you to have doubts. We've all been there. Every single one of us at some point. Your situation is very similar to a kid sitting by the piers with the doubt of either jumping into the river or not. Tough decisions to make and all. But you have to be the judge of it. If i were in your shoes, i would tell the girl. Why? Because why not? Keeping it in is never good. Too hasty and it all goes to hell. Just tell her in your most honest words. Sit her down somewhere and talk to her. Refer and relate to her as a person, not as an object of your desire. Tell her all that you've been keeping in. Share with her how it makes you feel. Do not expect her to reciprocate your feelings. Most people will freak out. Expect that. But it is not something unheard of to have feelings for the person who you associate as same sexuality as you. Then, allow time to let her sink all that details and information into her thoughts. Do not rush her, and let her judge and decide by herself. It is a good practice to leave telling her your feelings as a heartfelt "heart to heart" talk. Instead of a confession of guilt, that by having feelings for her is wrong. (which sadly most guys of malaysia seems to do). Then go on your life like normal with her. Don't try to treat her any different, in the hopes of it helpign your agenda. She will show you how she will deal with your feelings in due time. But the most important thing is to tell her, let her digest, and react with her reaction. And don't be disappointed if she rejects you. Take it as an experience worth learning. wow. you've given like one of the best advice and insight so far. yes i have been thinking about talking about it with her, but i just cant decide how to go about it without jeopardizing our relationship as friends/roomates. but at the same time i also cannot handle keeping this in. previously i was advised to be patient and take it slow, win her heart as friends first etc etc. at first it seems possible. then lately i dont know how and i dont know why, i just felt deeper into her. feels like im going out of my mind. thank you so much for your reply, it gave me a better idea of how i should proceed. i'll have to find the right time and think of the right words, then i'll talk with her. thank you again

Am glad for once people referred to the A in the abbreviation as asexual rather than allies. Bravo.

I myself only came by the term about 3 years ago. As far as research allow, I identify myself as a cisgendered biromantic demisexual. To get into details on what each of those mean, well, I'll spare it for another time.

This thread is one that I've been dreaming of! Thanks to the OP who started this thread.
I'm a closeted lesbian. I don't know any lesbians at all beside myself, so at times I do feel lonely. I'm rather boyish, so I have a hard time connecting with my peers. Girls find me too rough,(though I think I've mellowed somewhat) and boys find me too sensitive.
Does anyone feel like I do? I'm from Penang, so does anyone know how to meet other lesbians? I came from co-ed school, so all seem straight. Better yet, are there other lesbian Penangites here? Hehe.
