    I have for a while 'fancied' someone who I know is gay. I was very much attracted to him and other men to a lesser extent. I saw him one evening and thought that i should come out (To everyone) just so that i had a chance of being with him. I however discovered that he had unfriended me on FB. I know that sound pathetic, but it means he doesn't really know who i am and one assumes doesn't like me back.

    Well anyway, after this "rejection" i find myself no longer attracted to anyone. I thought somehow that this meant being gay (as i have known myself to be for several years) was just a "phase" so started trying to look at straight porn, which made me feel ill. So turns out I'm not straight but find none attractive. Is this normal after a "rejection" when will my normal eye for men return. I was considering coming out but this has made me doubt whether i am indeed gay.

    Sorry for the rambling post, i am really just thinking aloud, any responses would be great.

    Your response is perhaps somewhat extreme but not overly unusual. Usually it manifests itself more along the lines of a mopey, teenage-like "fine - I'm done with guys FOREVER" attitude. If you're currently not attracted to anybody, or even that horny, that's fine - just don't date (or masturbate) for the time being. Assumedly, things will shake back to normal in due course. :slight_smile:
