DURING a night out with my girlfriends I drank too much and missed my last bus home.

My friend’s sister said I could crash at her place.

We got back and she invited me to share her bed. I did and we made love – and it was amazing.

I had no idea she is gay and I’ve never fancied a girl before, but now I can’t stop thinking about her.

I spent all night awake staring at her beautiful face and body. Now I don’t know what to do next.

I want us to be together, but the rest of my friends are bloke-crazy and would freak out to hear that I fancy a woman.

At the moment my closest friend is trying to pair me up with her brother. How do I say “no thanks” without everyone becoming suspicious and cornering me with a million questions?

JANE SAYS: Why does your sex life have to be anyone else’s business?

If you like this woman and she likes you, then that’s an end to it.

You don’t have to justify yourself to the wider circle. Make it clear that you’re not interested in anyone’s brother and leave it at that.

Keep speaking to your lover and decide for yourselves where you go from here.

Don’t run before you can walk, because you don’t even know if she’s interested in a proper relationship.

If you genuinely believe your friends are hostile to gay people, then do they need to be educated?

My take on this matter is that life is precious and if you can find love and happiness with a special person, then you owe it to yourself to go for it.

None of us can predict where the road will take us or who we’ll find attractive along the way.
