Like guys, but I am anxious/awkward around girls

    So I have come to the conclusion that I like guys. I do however identify as homoflexible, so around the Kinsey 5 mark. For those who don't know what that means it means I am almost exclusively homosexual, by do have some attraction to the opposite sex. I find girls pretty, but I can't see myself in a relationship with one. The idea makes me feel uncomfortable. Now down to the issue at hand. Although I only would like to date guys I still am socially awkward with most girls. I get flustered about what they might think of me. Which is weird as I don't feel like that around guys. Maybe this is just me over thinking things, and as I am a socially awkward person who seems to have a nack for overcomplicating things this wouldn't surprise me.

    Thank you for tolerating me, and I will enjoying reading your pensive comments as you try to ignore how much of a weird person I am.

    But hey, you have to be weird to be interesting to know.

    I apologise in advance for any grammatical or spelling errors, it is 2:14 am after all.

    That's totally normal! In fact, I feel like that around guys, even though I would mostly consider myself to be interested in girls.

    I remember being that way too, at some point in your life as you get older, you'll probably begin to switch the other way and you may start to feel more comfortable around the girls.

    At least that's the way it is in my case.

    It depends on a lot of things. If you're not out, you may feel pressure in your interactions with girls to appear interested in them. Also, if your interests and personality are more stereotypically masculine, you may find you have more in common with other guys than with girls and that could make you hesitant in your interactions with them.
