Relationships

Falling for someone of the same gender?

I’ve been heterosexual relationships all my life but in recent years, have gotten very close to a female colleague. We bonded over work issues and similar interests. I know that she’s Lesbian and she had/ has a partner (I don’t know if they’re still together because she doesn’t mention her to me). She knows that I’m religious and heterosexual.

But recently, I can’t help but think of her in a relationship sort of way. I wonder if I’ve fallen for her as I seem to care a lot about her and want to see her at work. We have been texting on a daily basis for three years now. The texts mainly got to do with work and our interests. Can someone who is heterosexual turn homosexual? Am I in love with her? Or maybe we are just good friends? Does she think of me as just a good friend or more? What does this sound like to you?

I know it’s hard to know for sure but I don’t dare to ask her as I’m confused about how I feel and I also don’t want to jeopardise our friendship. Pls help.
