I think I'm in love with my Close friend whos the same gender as me. What should I do?

We've been friends for about a month and a half now and after about two weeks I started to realize I really liked this girl. We had a dance two days before I realized I liked her and she wore this really cute dress. At the dance I kept running into her and everywhere she was it seemed a lot brighter. She knows I like boys and girls and she knows I like her. Though I think I'm in love with her. I'm always finding myself writing her name in my note book or looking for her at school or re reading are old messages. She's called me Darlin a couple times and she calle me Hun too. I'm not sure what to do because I really like her but we never really ever talk about me liking her and everyday my feelings for her get stronger. We don't really talk much at school because I'm shy and she is too. We talk more on Skype and Facebook. And were always compmenting each other. All my friends ask me why I like her or why I talk about her all the time. Three of my friends tease me. What should I do?

I'd suggest that you should be upfront and sit her down one day in a private place and tell her about your feelings and answer her question of why you like her. You should also let her know that you'd still like to remain friends with her if she doesn't feel the same way, if you would want that in the future. If you feel you can't say it in person then a letter can be beneficial for you to let you express all of your feelings as much as you want. Just be honest and sincere with her and see how it turns out which whatever happens will be for the best. Good luck to what you decide!
