So i came out to my mom the other day and she was very supportive. When i told her i was sure i was right(gay). Then i started getting anxious like oh what if im not gay. Then i look at myself in the mirror or thinking about gay things that have happend. and i really think im gay. Anyway today my mom called me and she said "so are you sure your gay? or is it a phase,becuase i never thought that you were gay. So im pretty sure im gay but what if im not!! im going kind of crazy whats should i do? i havent had a girlfriend for over 10 years in middle school. And when i did there was an emotional connection but no physical connectoin at all. I feel like maybe i should actually try to hook up with a guy and see if i like it. Cuz i dont wanna tell everyone im gay then im not. but i kind of think i would like it. im just sick of this crap. please what should i do? Also id just like to say this website and all the people are absolutely awesome!! thanks
Well are you (physically) attracted to guys or girls? I can be emotionally attracted to girls, but I'm totally uninterested on a physical level (e.g. I couldn't imagine having a healthy, sexual relationship with one). It took me a little while before I knew, but on reflection..really I can only ever remember being attracted to guys. Like, I ALWAYS turn my head (I try to do it subtly) when a really hot guy walks past or something, but I've never done that for a girl.
I hear tons of talk about "It's just a phase" but does anybody know a real person who has had a gay phase and actually gone back to straight? As far as I know this is a complete invention of people in denial.
