Confess to them. If they were your friend they would understand your feelings. If they don't they aren't your real friend.

You should her decision and try not to force her to do anything that she wouldn't feel comfortable with.

Unfortunately, you have to leave her alone if you know for a fact she's not gay. You can't force her to do anything.

Let her know, even thought she's straight, if she's really your best friend she'll understand and not act disgusted

Boy do I know that feeling, I cant tell you what to do but I can tell you my own experience with the problem. I was in love with this girl named Jessica who had been my friend since the first grade. I first realized this in the late 6h early 7th grade and completely panicked and tried to distance myself from her hoping that I would not be that attracted to her if I did. I STRONGLY recommend agents doing what I did because all it did was ruin the relationship with my best friend. Anyway its like 3 or so years later now and Im happy dating someone else. I used to regret not telling her but in the end Im happy with the way it turned out. Anyway I hope my anecdotal answer helped at least a little bit!

are you 100% sure she is straight? if she is then you're going to have to distract yourself from her before you get in deeper. I know that the feeling of being in love is wonderful, but if you don't get out quick, the heartbreak will be horrible. good luck.

I'm pretty sure almost every person goes through this- I am. Getting over your straight best friend is going to be hard. What I do is just think of them as you would any other friend. That's what I do, I think it's easier for some people to point out all of their flaws that you dislike to them. (But don't say that to their face)you won't get over them fast or easily.

You should tell her. Be honest with her. You never know until you try. Even if she may not feel the same way, then at least you told her. Honesty is key
