so for context I have been best friends with the girl I grew up with (best friends for 8 almost 9 years) she's the same age as me and we met in second grade. I'm homeschooled and this past weekend I went to her schools homecoming dance to meet her friends and her boyfriend. he's a sweet guy and they both really love each other. I'm super happy for her but there was this almost upset feeling when I found out they were dating last year and I just brushed it off. it came back last night and it just would not go away they looked amazing together as I watched them take pictures but I felt sad? upset maybe? I don't know. then after we all went home I stayed the night with my best friend and we made cookies and watched movies until we got tired. while we were watching movies though we were cuddling like we always do its something we've been doing since we were in 6th grade but it's only last night when it felt different. It almost felt like I had a pit in my stomach? I'm so confused with all of this. I've only been in one long term relationship and it was with a guy that dumped me when I got SA'd (not the topic.) so this is all so new to me. I've identified as Pansexual for about 3 years now because that's what felt right for me. I've had crushes on girls and others but this feels different to a hallway crush. I've been through thick and thin with this girl and I can't have this get in the way of our friendship but I cannot keep this to myself and really needed to get it off my chest. I love her sososo much even if it is platonic and I don't know what I'd do without her in my life. she is my favorite person and someone I can count on no matter what. I've never been good at feelings so idk what to do. She is my best friend and i don't want any of my emotions getting in the way of the relationship we've worked so hard to build over the years. yk?

I get why you’re feeling confused it makes sense given how close you two are. What you feel is valid, and it doesn’t have to ruin your friendship. Just take your time to sort through it, and remember your bond with her is strong no matter what
