I tried to put this in 'Gay Lesbian and Bisexual' but the categories under 'Family and Relationships' wouldn't show up. Sorry for that.
We're both 14 and we're best friends (she's my only friend, actually) and we've known each other since mid-August last year. We became best friends immediately and at first that was all; we were just really good friends.
We've got into having a sleepover every school holidays and we always go for a walk and eat icecream and tell each other secrets.
One time she told me that she thought she was gay because she had a crush on a friend from her primary school (I think. The person wasn't really that important).
About two months ago I started to get a crush on her and a few weeks later I told her that I thought I was bi, by which time she had told me she had a crush on some other girl she knew.
We can tell each other anything and we both know that, but then we both admitted we had a secret that we couldn't even tell each other. Mine was that I had a crush on her and she said that hers 'had something to do with feelings'. I didn't want to tell her because when I had told her I was bi, she said something about if either of us ever had a crush on the other then we would tell each other and the other would let them down nicely. I didn't want to be let down, even nicely, so I didn't tell her.
Then I started to suspect she had a crush on me, even though she said she had a crush on someone else, because she started asking me things like, 'Do you think it's strange that when I see you I want to smile?'
Then last Saturday (not yesterday, last week) we were going for a bushwalk and then we were sitting on a bench and she told me she had a crush on me and I told her that I had a crush on her too. She said something about not wanting to tell her parents because they probably wouldn't accept it and they wouldn't let her go on a date with me, implying that she wanted to go on a date with me.
The only times I get to see her are before school (5-10mins) and recess (15mins) each day - less than half an hour a day - because we have no classes together and at the moment we have to spend lunchtimes practicing for a school concert. We're trying to get together every Saturday to go bushwalking, but we're a bit bogged under with assignments and assessments and exams at the moment.
Since last Saturday, nothing's really happened except that she keeps telling me that she's really happy about it.
I really want something to happen, but I'm not sure what. How can I progress our relationship? I don't know what to do because neither of us can tell our parents and I don't know if she wants to even take it past the 'crush' stage. I do, but I don't know how. Our next sleepover is going to be these holidays (in about 10 weeks, maybe less) at my house and we're having a Doctor Who themes Christmas party. Is that the right time to do something? If so, what?
