Im becoming attrated to your best friend who just came out of the closet and now im wondering if im a lesbian too?

Gay, Lesbian, Bi...

None of it really means much. It's just labels.

If you like somebody, that's all that matters.

I will admit though, they make things a LOT easier, and at the same time a lot more awkward.

If you have a sexual or otherwise just a interest in dating boys AND girls, then no, you aren't a lesbian, and you may not be bi either.

The girl may just have a masculine trait that you find attractive.

I myself am male (for now! :D) and I am attracted to girls. Not just my body reacting to them with the standard "WHOOT! FEMALE PHEROMONE'S reaction, but I find them pleasing to the mind as well, but I also have found myself attracted to guys as well.

Nine times out of ten, the guy was kinda effeminate. And there was one guy in particular who actually wore girls clothing almost every day, that I dated for a month or so.

But does that make me gay? Of course not. I don't see myself as 'Gay', so I am not.

I technically consider myself Bi with lesbian tendencies, but I digress.

You're not a lesbian unless that's what you call yourself. But if you like girls, are attracted to girls, and only want to date girls, yet claim to be straight, you're still not a lesbian, you're a hypocrite! :D
