    Now that I've blown the lid off my sexuality, I'm getting crazy crushes left right and centre. All women. TV show actors, random singers at bars, people I work with. It's like I'm 18 and single. I seriously haven't had crushes like this in years.

    It's both fun and frustrating at the same time. Anyone with me on this?

    Yes, me too :slight_smile: As you say, women from all over the place, people I see in the street, bars, work :slight_smile: Yesterday when I was out for lunch with a coworker who I really do have a crush on for a few weeks now and I think I was flirting with her apparently pretty obviously ( except for her it's not obvious:icon_sad:slight_smile:, a girls started kind of insistently looking and smiling at me. :slight_smile: This has never happened to me before, like this. So yeah, I thought I'm going crazy, but good to know it's not only me who this is happening to :slight_smile: I mean not the going crazy part, but the crushes. :slight_smile:

    Nice change from feeling cold and nonrespondant for so long, right? :grin:

    and for me it didn't task too long for me to start feeling in control of these 'crushes' enough to not be distracted by them

    In a word: yup.

    It's kind of embarrassing! I have to keep reminding myself to look in their eyes haha.

    Thanks for this post.

    I recently began taking steps to come out and explore my homosexual side. I am really crushing on this guy I have hung out with/gone out with 3 times. I feel more vulnerable and I like how I feel at times and not at others because I feel a little imbalanced. In any case, I have never been with a guy, only females. Neither of us have made any moves, we've only hugged, but I was super aroused just by being around him. I think he is, but I don't know if he is into me as well. Ahhh, any advice? I guess I should just make a move! I also fully intend to tell him I have never been with a guy, of course.

    I usually prefer face to face for nearly everything, but I am tempted to just message/email him my feelings. What do you fine people think?

    I've come out to only a few people, though crushing on or fantasies about women are nothing knew to me.
