Sandra, a 25-year old law school student, is attracted to her girlfriend and best friend.

You could say something like "If you were a man I would lock my lips to yours for hours" or "Let me give you a backrub....you look so tired." Generally speaking that is all it takes for the ice to break.

Hopefully this should help you find out if you want a real relationship and also both of you will be able to celebrate your feelings for each other. It seems that both of you will also laugh about it some day musing how you wondered about each other. Though that is not unusual for lesbians dating for the first time.
