Life without a relationship so far.

I'm not sure that my sexual/romantic desires didn't happen until later, so much as I wasn't in a place where I was ready to venture into that type of relationship. I do agree that it has taken me longer than most to get a grasp on who I am sexually. I'm 28.

 

That's me! I think I had so called "crushes" on guys in the past, but I didn't realize that they were classified as crushes. I'd look at a guy sexually but as soon as a conversation started I wouldn't feel the same about them. After I've acknowledged my attractions to guys, I guess you could say I started having feelings for those guys I was sexually attracted to but only if I knew they were attracted to guys. I've never had feelings for guys that were straight, which is odd. I guess at a subconscious level I knew things wouldn't work so I don't really have feelings for them.

 

Yes!

It wasn't until college that I really realized what everyone else meant when they talked about "that fuzzy feeling".

I also was the most oblivious person in my group of friends when they were trying to flirt with people... there was a chunk of time where my roommate was trying to flirt with a friend of mine and I didn't know it until a month later when she asked me to stop accepting when he invited me to go on walks with them. Turned out he was using me as a shield to keep her from getting too close. Lol!
