    Hey, so my name is Aaron. So over the past year I have had fantasies about other men. I find other men attractive from my school. I think into head that I would date them. I haven't been in a relationship in 4 years. I was close to getting in one with some girl and then I realized that I didn't know what I was and wasn't feeling the relationship. I feel like I could be gay but can't decide on it. Am I gay? Bi? Bi curious? Maybe even straight and confused? I am hoping you guys can help, thanks for your time!

    Hello Aaron

    I feel this a question only you can answer. You can stick to what ever you want to be and I can't tell what you are and aren't.

    Hey, Aaron. I agree with Dex completely. It can be complicated and confusing but in the end, you will know better than anyone else. Good luck with everything.

    So some thoughts that might help you clarify your feelings:

    -- You said that you "weren't into it" with the girl you almost went out with. Are there, or have there ever been, any girls that you were "into it" with? Felt attracted to in a way that you'd imagine yourself having sex with her?

    -- And the inverse: You've said you've thought about dating other men and had fantasies about it. Could you see yourself being "into" one or more of them? Have you felt or imagined what it might be like to have sex with one of these guys?

    -- When you masturbate without porn, do your fantasies lean toward imagining guys, or imagining girls? Or both?

    -- When you watch porn, is it straight or gay? If straight, do you find yourself looking more at the guys or the girls?

    The above are usually pretty good indicators that help you to get better clarity.
