    So I'm still in the middle of trying to figure out what it is I like and a lot of the advice people have given to me is to ditch the labels and just go with what I feel at the time.
    (Really good advice guys... Thanks!)

    But how do I tell people what I am if I don't know myself?
    Should I tell them?

    In the ends, it's no one's business but yours.

    So, no need to tell them. If you're asked if you're gay, you can reply honestly, "Don't know yet."

    Most of all, be safe and enjoy life.

    Avoid the labels and if you feel comfortable doing so start entrusting people with the fact that you like boys, although maybe not exclusively.

    Hi there! If you do want to come out to a couple of friends for example, you could just say "I'm questioning my sexuality, and am not really sure about my feelings at this point." Being able to admit to it is already a major step because then you bring it out into the open as it where and it allows you to start looking at it, and understanding it a bit better.

    I think what would be good is if you would talk with a counselor either at school/university or in your community. Talking about your feelings out loud can also help, because sometimes we have to hear ourselves, before we can make sense of it. Talking with a counselor (although it might be a bit intimidating at first) and getting some feedback could help you in figuring things out.

    Always remember, there is no rush and really just follow whatever feels comfortable and right to you.
