    I keep questioning whether im gay or not. Does the simple fact of me questioning mean i am gay. Cuz straight guys probly dont sit around and wonder if their gay all the time. How in the heck do i know if im guy. Should i try to makeout with a guy? if so where do i find him.

    Questioning doesn't make you gay; it makes you questioning.

    A few criteria: Do you get turned on by girls, and/or think of being in a relationship with one? Second, change "girls" to "guys" and repeat the question.

    And don't try too hard to fit into labels. They are for ease of describing yourself to others, not for others to apply them to you.

    But to answer one of your questions, yes, maybe try making out with a guy. It might give you some insight, and make another gay guy's night. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    If you find yourself questioning, I think there is a possibility you are at least somewhat attracted to other males. But it doesn't mean you are exclusively gay.

    Do girls turn you on? Do guys turn you on as well? Maybe you're bisexual, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    Does gay porn turn you on? Do you ever fantasize about men when you masturbate? I know these questions are a little explicit, but they are definitely good indicators. Of course you won't know anything for sure unless you actually try something with a guy and see how the experience is for you. Everyone is different. As far as meeting a guy goes, it just takes time. Maybe there is someone at your school who you might have heard is gay? Maybe you have a girlfriend that knows other gay guys? It can be difficult finding someone, but don't rush anything. It's important to be patient when exploring your sexuality.

    Best of luck :slight_smile:
