How Do I Fix This?! D:

I told one of my best friends I like her and it didn’t turn out well at all.
We’re Juniors in high school, and we’ve been friends ever since 8th grade. I told her I was gay the summer we were going into Sophomore year.
Now the night I told her, I asked HER for advice about it. I told her, “So there’s this girl I like, but I’m not sure if I should tell her or not.” She told me, “You should tell her, I mean if she says no then nothing will happen.” I then proceed to ask her, “What if I don’t know if she’s?” and “Do you think it could ruin our friendship?” All she said was, “I don’t know.” You could definitely tell that she really wanted to help me, but I wasn’t really getting much feedback. Anyway, I got home that night and I texted her saying that I like her. She told me, “i’m sorry, but i don’t feel the same way and honestly it does make me kind of uncomfortable.” Of course I was a little heartbroken at first, but then I realized, “Oh crap! One of my best friends is uncomfortable around me! How can I make sure our friendship doesn’t fall apart?!” After she told me that, I asked what kind of uncomfortable was it? And I don’t want us to stop being friends, do you? She just said, “I don’t know, everything’s weird.” We haven’t talked in over a month and I’m getting really worried that our friendship is already over. I CAN’T lose her! Not because of the fact that I like her, but because she is one of my closest and dearest friends….I just can’t live without this girl! I am getting over her, I basically almost am, but I just need her in my life. I see her school constantly, but we never acknowledge each other or anything. I want to, but hell…I wouldn’t know where to begin!
I really need help before I lose her permanently! D:

It sounds like your friendship is over. No acknowledgement and if it weren’t for your appearance at school, you wouldn’t even see her. You could pull her aside face-to-face and tell her how much you value her friendship- if that doesn’t work, sadly move on. Truth is friendships die, People come and go. I hope you find someone who deserves to be apart of your life.
Find friends who let you be your rock star self everyday! Having an amazing lesbian friend isn’t for everyone…some people are always just going to be boiled rice. Go live a life of flavour! Xx
Well I’m not sure what advice to give you. But I can tell you a very similar experience happened to me. My best friend and I have been friends since freshmen year in high school and now we are seniors in college. I came out to her freshmen year in college. She said she was ok with it and she still wanted to be friends and all. she kinda ignored it because she thought it was a phase or something. All she said was,”you better not like me in that way”. No she just had to say that. Of course I found her attractive and I just couldn’t help it. But I told her how I felt. Of course she turned me down, I’mean she’s straight. And she was dating a guy at the time. But atleast I got it out there and told her. But time went on and things weren’t so awkard anymore. And now we are still best friends. I think she was more supported when I got my first heart break. She helped me through it and she saw that I really wasn’t going through a phase. The only problem we have now is her husband is jelous of me and doesn’t like how we spend a lot of time together or on the phone. But she doesn’t care and stands up for me. So I don’t know if this helps but just letting you know you’re not the only one going through this. Atleast you told her how you feel and won’t be thinking ‘what if’. Good luck.
Honestly, it doesn’t sound like she wasn’t your friend to begin with.
