Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is how I see it: You're in love. I recognize those feelings deeply.

She feels bad when it comes to love right? Well, then you're just going to show her that love can be a good thing. Not by kissing her, saying "I love you" (though those things may also be good at times), but just to stay at her side and support her. Show her you care, only that is love itself.

It isn't easy to heal from bad memories with friends or love (trust me, I know), it can only heal through time. But due that time, the person need support and someone to lean on. If you are very worried ask if she wants to talk about it. If she does, listen and don't be pushy. If not, let it go and just leave it there. The time will come.

About your sexuality, I can only say this: Love is unpredictable and so your sexuality comes with it. When you may feel strange going from one to another, it may also be the feelings of old habits.

Take me for example: I was all into yaoi (gay love) and cared not for other boys nor girls. That is until I met a very special person. I realized he stood up for me, when no one else would. Sure, we don't agree to most stuff and we barely like the same things. But that's just it! Love may be where you least expected it to be!

Just beacuse you are/were into something else, don't let these feelings be ruined or throw them away. I think you might have a very special tresure here. Hope it works out for you! Best wishes! biggrin
