high school advice?!

It's a long post, but it's not a very long story, so please bear with me, I could really use some advice.

First off, I'm a girl in high school. The last time I posted in this forum was a year ago, where I started developing feelings for a girl and two weeks later, while I was still trying to wrap my mind around my feelings, she and her girlfriend came out to the whole school which was really shocking for me. Fyi they are still going strong and I am happy for them and we are all really good friends etc etc. Just some background on me.

Anyways, I recently started crushing on a different girl, and I'm starting to realize that I like her a LOT. The problem is, I don't know if I should do anything about it.

Reasons why I don't think I should do anything:
1. She dated a guy a while back, so don't know how she feels about girls.
2. We don't know each other very well; we are just acquaintances.
3. High school is ending, fast.
4. I don't want anyone to know that I have feelings for her.

Reasons why I want to do something about it:
1. I dated a guy a while back too... and here I am crushing on girls.
2. I REALLY like her.
3. High school is ending, all the more reason to just go for it.

On top of all this, I'm still unsure of my sexuality... I just know that I really like this girl and that I haven't had feelings for guys in a while. I don't know if I should go for it, or ask my aforementioned gay friend for advice, I just don't know what to do?!?! I'm usually calm and decisive but I don't know what to do right now??!?!

Thank you for reading. Congrats, you made it to the end of the longest post I have written.

Hey AJ- that wasn't that long too read! It sounds like you've thought it thru pretty well! Here's what I'd base it on...if you want everyone to know about it! Depending on that, is what I'd base your decision on because of the consequences that would have on you! Best of luck!!

All good relationships start as friends. Get to be better friends and the path will most likely become clear. If you're afraid of social repercussions, that's the safest way to go about things although I understand that it could be painfully slow finding out.

Like most things, slow = safe.

It's the middle of senior year, time is running out!

I don't mind if everyone knows how I feel if it works out. If it doesn't then I don't anyone to know. Anyways, we are probably not even on "friend" level yet, more liker really good acquaintances. I have been trying to drop hints e.g through clothing (even though I know that's really stupid but yeah I'm kind of at a loss here).
