Lex | This is more or less what happened to me. Except that once I started, I became visually attuned.
That said, I do feel that my sexuality has been fluid. I used to find girls quite a bit more attractive than I do now, especially romantically. And even now the right girl can turn my head in ways that make me doubt my sexuality altogether. (I'm looking at you Emma Stone!)
