I just told my crush of three years, who is also a friend, that I'm gay, and she's been acting different since then, but not in a bad way. We sit next to each other in class, and pass papers like usual, and lately she's been getting a lot closer to me, brushing hands and such, and staring at me from across the room. She never used to do that! Maybe I'm just completely over thinking it and I'm being way too hopeful, but I clearly need help, I'm paranoid here!

It's possible that she's also a lesbian, or bi. But there's really no way for us to know, especially with only your point of view to go on.

Talk to her. Tell her how you feel.

Know that doing this could lead to rejection, but really, the only person that knows how she feels is her.

Just try and get to know her better. If she likes you, she'll open up eventually!

Talk to her, see where it goes.

If she is straight no, she would have no interest in you. That would be like saying, could you fall for this guy because he likes you. So could you just change and start liking guys ?

If she is straight then you may well be seeing things a little off. Maybe too much wishfull thinking on your part.

Just tell her how you feel. Be yourself..
Goodluck!
