    Hi, I am an 18 year old female and since ..forever i guess I have always been attracted to guys, but lately, like a couple of years now, i have been thinking about what it would be like to be with a girl. I have never been with or even kissed a boy or girl, so I have been thinking i could actually be a lesbian? It's not like i've been with a guy so i don't know if i like guys, but i do know that i think about being with girls. I am also friends with a lot girls who are all straight, and not that many guys. I have even thought about kissing one of my friends after she mentioned that she might be gay. DOes being friends with a lot of girls make me a lesbian?

    I am attracted to guys very much and i also think about guys like i do with girls...sexually. I want to at least kiss a girl and be with one to see if i am attracted to girls i don't wanna live a life being with guys if i am truly attracted to girls. Does this make me bi-sexual? or a lesbian? or am I just a straight person who needs attention?

    Just because you are not sexually active at a certain age does not mean your sexuality is certain. Plenty of people know who they are attracted to before they kiss or are romantically involved with anyone.
    Short answer: No. However, wanting to kiss one of your friends... maybe.
    Ultimately, only you can decide your identity. Try going without labels for a while. Remember, if you come out as some label, and then later realize it doesn't fit you, that's ok. Sexuality is fluid!

    Don't worry about the label. Rather than trying to fit a standard, just be you and let yourself try and figure out what that is. Only way to figure something out is to try.

    Also, I don't think you just need attention. As far as I know, that's not how sexuality works, lol, but I could be wrong.
