Confused about a friend

This all may seem silly and petty, and that's probably because it is. But it's been crowding my mind a lot lately and I would like to let it out c:

I have a friend who I would like to kiss. She's only had boyfriends, but she has confessed to me that she knows she's not completely straight. Same goes for me, having had only boyfriends but knowing I could go there with girls.

We got drunk one time in some crowded place while she was with her boyfriend and I was hanging on some other guy. She later confessed to me that she kept wanting to kiss me but she thought her boyfriend might be confused, and we laughed it off.

She's not one who likes affection too much unless it's someone she's openly interested in, and she usually only cuddles with me when she's upset. However, she has general anxiety disorder, and sometimes I wonder if her stand-offishness stems from that rather than from any real objection. The way she touches my leg sometimes or how she acts around me when she's been drinking seems to lend more to her real feelings, but I could be seeing what I want to.

Anyway, we're about to graduate, and I guess I'm wondering if the signs are all there and if you think she'd be okay with it if I tried, or if I should try at all. I know you can't know everything unless you've seen us together, but I feel like this pretty much sums it up.

Well it does sound like she wouldn't be freaked out if you "tried", and if you don't try then how will you ever know?

I think what I'm most worried about is making her uncomfortable. /: But you're right, if I just try it and she doesn't respond, I back off. Tis simple. Now I just need to find the guts, heh.

I'm sorry but I giggled a little when I read this and all that came to mind was:

"Shalalalala
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl"
(via Little Mermaid)

But yeah, I'm pretty certain that if she said she wanted to kiss you more you'll be just fine Do the thang. Get the girl

Best of luck I'm cheering for you in full rainbow uniform

I take it you guys are pretty close if you're cuddling and crying together, not to mention mentioning wanting to kiss....

I say talk about it, tell her if you hadn't already that you're pretty sure you're not 100% straight either and that even though she mentioned it while drunk, you've thought about kissing her too.

A type of girly confession session if you will

Then see what she says....

Best case scenario, you agree to kiss eachother and see if its just curiosity (a safe and friendly experiment for both of you if you will)...

Worst case scenario, she gets uncomfortable and you yell "psych!" and proceed to laugh it off (uncomfortably) and pour yourself a drink...

Why I propose this method (although obviously you tweak it to suit you) is because if you spring a kiss on her, her surprize or shock may come across as rejection (when it may not be) orr things just get uncomfortable and awkward anyway, without much thought into how to make things go back to being not awkweird. Talking gives you a clear red or green light.

Thanks guys for handling this somewhat awkward subject with kindness and understanding! Heh

Also, much thanks to keeprolling for her ever appreciated and adorable commentary mwahah
