I came out to my friend…

Okay. I met this girl and we only hung out a few times. One night, she came up to my college and a boy pushed us both in a bathroom. We started making out intensely. After that she started coming up every single weekend. She’d even take the train to come up. We were together all the time and we’d flirt and I’d catch her starring at me, the eye contact was unbelievable. We’d always be near each other constantly. It was her birthday and we all went out to the club. We were dancing and she tried making out with me but I backed away. We were dancing and she told me to go against the wall and started dancing with me. She was making a joke about how we share money, and it was like we were girlfriends and I said what? And she got nervous and said something else. The tension between us was palpable. That went on for every weekend for two months. I was dealing with family problems and I had to live on my own and dropping out was the only way to get money.
At that exact moment of my revelation she called me. I told her what I was going to do and she said that she wanted to come. We ended up moving cross country within two weeks. I know. Haha. But right when we moved down here we were at a club with these two boys dancing and she told she thought there was sexual tension between us. I backed away and said “yes I know please stop”… At that moment, I knew that if I gave in that would’ve been it. I wouldn’t have wanted to see her go. This all came to mind so clearly because I just got my nose pierced and it gave me quite a “revealing shock”… But after that she grabbed me and lead me to the other side of the club, I stopped her and we just starred at each other and then the boys caught up to us. Later that week she was with this boy, and she came rushing back to the apartment. She told me that while she was kissing him all she could think of was me. She left the boys house kind of abruptly and he was texting her some mean things. She started crying and I kissed her forehead and told her she was beautiful. She said all we need is each other, and I smiled and fell asleep. A couple of weeks later, she called me one night when she was supposedly drunk, she told me that she didn’t care about the boy I wanted to introduce her to, and that if I wanted to hear her underwear make noise. She made the seductive noise and then started randomly fighting with her parents and hung up.
The next day, she was back and talking to her friend thanking her that she stayed up late to talk to her after the fight. Which means she was quite stable and remembers what she said to me. I continued to be distant and ignore the signs. We continued to talk about guys and hung out with them, and the flirtation and beautiful tension begun to fade. I don’t know it was me, we just moved here; I was afraid to get used and then left with a heavy heart and… rent. I knew how difficult it is to be in a relationship with a girl and coming out. And even if she was just trying to experiment, or it was something more, I don’t know, was I wrong? So, it’s been several months later, she is back at home and I am back here, filled with a mind of “what if’s.” (It’s the worst “mind filler” to have in my opinion.) I finally said what the hell, what do I have to lose and texted her. I told her everything, from my sexuality (bi) to everything she said and how I felt about it (that I was scared because if I went further, I could have a relationship with a girl, god, the only thing I didn’t tell her was that I love her…) She texted me back, and I have never gotten such a sick feeling in my stomach, so sick that I puked. She told me that she never said those things, that she was drunk if she did, that she strictly likes guys and never want that with a girl. She said that she’d text me later and never did.
It’s been a week and she hasn’t texted me or called. Now, I leave for boot camp in a week! Did I make the right decision by telling her? I feel like an idiot. I loved her and totally blew her off and all the signs because of my cowardness and over secured walls… help please needed thank you so much…

you did the right thing Adrianna by telling her how you feel. You shouldn’t feel bad about it. You were confused at first yes, but every individual who goes thru what you went thru would all be confused and that’s fine. Never mind that she denied you, it’s going to be her loss not yours and I promise you that. the important thing is you finally realized what you want. you’re very brave. this is all about you, so cheer up!
You were brave. And, I think you had good instincts at the time. You had a lot going on. And she doesn’t seem like the most stable person. I can see why you were worried about getting left with a broken heart or . . rent. The way she is reacting to you now (denying what she says) means that you actually had a pretty good instinct about the kind of thing that was possible with her.
Don’t invest your heart in someone who isn’t reliable. I think your instincts were sound to hold back.
Like JM I am so glad that you were able to realize what you want and get clarity . . and I also think you should really congratulate yourself for having good instincts at the time, even if you are feeling sad about the loss of possibility now. There are going to be more opportunities. I’m with JM– you are brave! Way to go!
I’m a guy and just saying that you did the right thing by telling her how u felt, it’s best to say what’s on your heart then let it consume your insides and it’s a shame that girl isn’t open minded because honestly the way i see it gay/bisexual/lesbian are just concepts humanity made up…what matter’s how you feel about that person doesn’t matter what sex it is..feelings tops it all but yeah it’s not evident to these days with all the shit people that live in this earth so most people just go with humanity concepts well can’t blame them their right because only 1% is decent and the 99% are just shit..But oh well we’re humans nevertheless you did the right thing the only problem was the girl that was too dumb to let her mind open to new things…
