Best Girl Friend IN Love With Me?

Maybe ask her in what way it is that she loves you. If she tells you that she's interested in you, you could tell her that you are flattered but that you are not into women. By telling her that you are flattered, you soften the blow of rejection - by letting her know that you are not rejecting her but that you are just not into that. Let her know that you love her in a different way - as a friend - and that you want to remain her friend only. Hope that helps! :)

Are you sure she meant it like she was IN love with you? Because my friends tell me they love me all the time without meaning anything by it. Guys and girls. With girls in particular this stuff can be very "blurry" I guess is the word I'm looking for. One of my best girl friends routinely calls me "hon" or "sweetie". Couple months ago this girl that I didn't know that well, but had struck a fast friendship with, started holding my hand while we were out at a club. She didn't mean it "that way" at all. Not only is she not gay/bi but she's also married! I have done and seen plenty of behavior between females that COULD be considered strange but that most of the time actually means nothing at all beyond friendship.

And even if she did mean it "that way", odds are like sweetasia said. She probably just wanted to be sure you knew how she felt in case you felt the same. If you look around this site at ANY given time there are about 100+ people asking questions about some person they have a crush on and "what should I do?" and we all always say the same thing more or less. "Tell him/her! If you like him/her so much it's worth the risk. You never know until you try!" Just tell her that you value her friendship and care about her but just not in a romantic way. Acting like nothing happened is probably the easiest thing to do but it could just confuse her and lead to something even more awkward down the line.

Best policy is to just simply be honest with her. If you really value your friendship with her, then you must let her know that you will never be interested in her the same way but would very much want to stay good friends with her. If she can't accept , respect, or understand your feelings about the situation, then she apparently doesn't value your friendship. If she reacts this way, then she clearly isn't worth the friendship. A good and true friend will understand. She probably wanted to take her chances by expressing her feelings about you and hoping that you might respond the same way. Did you ever behave in a physical manner with her that might give her the impression that you may also be bi? Just let her know or else you're going to end up losing a friend by way of your behavior. When you tell her how you feel, and she still decides to end the friendship, then you'll have a clear conscience that it wasn't your fault.
