So about a year ago I was realized I was bi and started gradually telling other people (I'm up to 8 friends, 1 teacher and my cousin, all with really good reactions but that's beside the point) and I think I was starting to come to terms with it. But now I think I might be a lesbian. The thing is I certainly prefer girls but I do find some guys attractive. But I don't think I want to be with a guy, um physically (sorry if that's a bit too personal). It's really confusing me and I'm not really sure about this, especially since I'm very young and I'm afraid I might change my mind. Anybody have any advice?
I was like you exactly the same just take your time when your younger you are discovering who are you are and having lots of different emotions which confuse you.
Sexuality can definitely change over the years. I wouldn't let myself get too focused on labels. You say you prefer women but find some men attractive. Well, no one on here can tell you what your sexual orientation is but is it really so important to know right away? Take your time, find out what you like, don't put yourself under pressure. The label is not important. If you say you like women more than men, then that's totally fine
In in the same boat, although my liking for guys is purely attraction. I wouldn't want to be with one physically, as you are feeling, nor would I want to date one, therefore I label as gay. But that's just me personally. Perhaps you may want to look at the bigger picture, and think about it through that. Can you see yourself in a long term relationship with a guy? Can you see yourself in a long term relationship with a girl? As the above posters said, don't feel pressured to label yourself, nor try 'fit' into a label. Use whatever you feel comfortable with, or don't use one at all if you don't think it will be useful... Just give yourself time to figure yourself out!
