    I guess, that if you've just started to have feelings for people and that it's guys, then maybe you're not straight? But you could try experimenting with a guy you're interested in who also likes guys to make sure :slight_smile:

    Hello, Ccarlso9, and welcome to EC. :slight_smile:

    It's not "too much" at all. If you ever need advice, it's best to ask. Your feelings tend to lean towards guys. Do you have feelings towards girls as well? You'll have to figure out which gender you prefer over the other, or if you have feelings for both (not a bad thing). I cannot push you towards an orientation and tell you that is who you are, you'll have to come to your own conclusion and only then can the advice start rolling in to help you along your path.
    As LeCiel389 said, you could try experimenting (with a guy or girl, whichever you feel more comfortable with). That doesn't mean you have to go "all the way" to determine your orientation. Kissing, holding hands, cuddling - all these actions also produce feelings, and that's what'll be your indicator.

    Go figure yourself out.
    Hope to hear more from you.
