Two female friends who have questioned their romantic feelings for eachother !?

So basically I have known my female friend for just over a year now, we met at work. About 3 months ago now, I confessed to her that I think I'm starting to like her more then a friend. I did this through text message, she replied saying that she had thought about it herself and had also questioned her own feelings towards me. She said that she feels 100% comfortable with me, more so then her oldest friends she has know for years and years but she doesn't think it goes further.. We did met up for a drink to discuss it further, i was doing most of the talking and I said to her that I do like her..

She didn't really say much, however she did say there is something that makes me feel so comfortable with you. When she comes to my house and hangs out for the day, we sit very closely together, are legs are on eachothers and my hands rest on her legs.we are tactile with eachother, and neither of us move away or shift our bodies to create space so to me that indicates that we are happy-comfotable with eachother. I also gave her a foot massage aswell?

Is this normal or am I thinking that this is what couples do? Or am I over thinking the situation ? Everything just feels so comfortable and natural with her, and she is the only female I have ever questioned my feelings for? I have always assumed I was straight as I have only ever dated men previously.

If we have both questioned our feelings for eachtoher then their must be something more in it then friendship?

I personally think my friend is scared to explore or go further with me? As she hasn't done anything like that before.. please someone help and give advice on this situation​

 

I like this story and it made me smile as I read it. It certainly seems the two of you are destined to be much closer if you'll both hang on and take it very slow. Since this is a totally new area for you both it's important to feel your way through and timing is very important. I'd ask her to dinner and get in plenty of fun times along with more sharing and great conversation. She already likes you and you like her so look for that perfect opportunity you think she'll be receptive to a light kiss and see what her reaction is . You're fortunate in this arena because women are more receptive to kissing each other than men are. In short just keep building on the things you already have , I think the chemistry is there.

 

Perhaps when you are close to her sitting on the couch slowly lean in for a kiss on the lips and see how she responds. Or, if you give her another massage just lean down and kiss her on the side of her neck and see how she responds from that. I think you need to make a respectful move for a response.
