Well, nothing happened today. She said she had work to finish for an upcoming class. I was kinda disappointed because I was as ready as I have ever been to get this on (and over with). The anxiety is killing me.
Once again, I'm grateful for the all the feedback. I'll definitely have a talk with her tonight because I don't want to head into this without us both understanding what exactly is happening. I know I'm in it for the sex, but I would like to maintain a healthy friendship, but as many have pointed out, I believe she may be looking for more than that. I also have a "tendency" to disappear from the scene, meaning sometimes we'll go a week or more at times without talking although we both know it's nothing out of the normal. We both understand that we need space. I just don't want this to encourage her to become extremely clingy. I'm waiting now for her to call tonight so I can get this off my chest.
She did recently ask me something rather disturbing though. As I said, I came out (more or less) to her and everything seemed cool. Time passed and we hadn't spoken of the conversation really until a few months ago when she asked "Do you still like guys?" as if it was something I would outgrow. Nervously, I replied "Not really"

. I know. I know. I should've been honest, but I'll fix that tonight.
In reply to a question, YES, I think I do want to have sex with her because at this point I'm not sure exactly if I'm fully gay or bi because I'm a bumbling idiot around girls anyway and a few do turn me on. I'm not really sure about the reason why I want to have sex with her (not really physical attraction), and I'm afraid it might be just to lose my virginity which is a horrible reason.
O.K.! THIS I can Understand!
I fought the "Idea" that I was "Gay" until I was 30! It just wasn't what was "expected" of Me! And, in the "mean time" I was quite "successful" with all the Females! (I nearly married 6 of them! And, NO!, not at the same time!)
However, in Your situation, having known Her for 10 years, You have to ask Youself, just how Important is this relationship?
There is NO Doubt that She is "Expecting" MORE!! Your being Her "First" is FAR more important to Females than it might seem to You ... a "Guy"! And, Trust ME on this one, the potential of Her going "Ballistic", after Your "Encounter", is of NO Doubt!!
Are YOU willing to take on that possibility??
Don't get me wrong! I do believe that if the situation may present itself, for experimentation, by ALL means, Go for It! However, given your "History", you have to, in this case, ask Yourself whether, or not, it is worth it!
From what You've told "Us", the Two of You are just TOO Close! If You decide to go through with this, it will be far more Devastating for Her than it will be for You! THINK about that!
"Above all else, do NO Harm!"
This is not a question of "Performance Anxiety" as much as whether You should try it at all, with HER!
Another "Chick" that You may not know all that well? Hell Yes! But ... THIS One? ... I'd have second thoughts!
You already Know that with THIS One, She is going to be having further "Expectations"/Hopes/Desires! Is that what You want? For You ... For Her??
At this point ... 10yr. of Friendship ... it's no longer just about You, but, also, about Her!
If You say "No" will it "crush" Her? Sounds like "Yes"! But ... if You go through with it ... won't it just enhance Her expectations and make it even more difficult, for Both of You, in the Long Run??
As much as I hate to do this ... I'd say Pass, for now! ... for You and for Her!
Of course, no matter what ...
Keep smilin'!!
