I'm not a lesbian but WHY do I get so nervous around my friend?

[why]

She's extremely gorgeous and I like to stare at her a lot lmao. We get along great have a lot in common. But I feel like I can only talk to her normally over facebook and texting, Twitter...not in person...in person I get so nervous and I don't even understand why...

Before every class I have with her I have to prepare myself mentally...And when I think about seeing her my heart beats so fast, I feel sick and anxious. I start shaking...

She always smiles and stares at me, says hi to me...she used to be even friendlier, invited me to do things with her (I'd decline sometimes because I got nervous) we always sat together in class, she'd hug me whenever she saw me...but then I started distancing myself from her, ignoring her a little...

She probably wonders why I'm so detached and ignore her so much. In class I hardly even look at her and she just stares at me but I don't know what's wrong with me! I get so nervous around her its exhausting and it makes me act really awkward around her. And it sucks because I really want to be her friend...

I think I get so nervous around her because I feel inferior to her, not good enough? I do have really low self esteem. But I noticed on days I feel pretty, I'm relaxed around her and we talk just fine but that's really rare that I.feel pretty. That's only happened twice out of the 3 years I've known her

Sounds to me, that she is the real lesbian and that she wants to get into your panties. If I was in your situation I would definitely try it out and experience things. You only live once.

Let's say this, She's the beauty & you're the beast.. No offense.. You'll turn out even prettier then her at the end then shell be jealous and nervous

dont get offended but it seems you might like her some girls like guys and girls its jus an attraction ......the fact that you get nervous is cuz your attracted to her so your distancing urself i will admit i find girls attractive as well haha
