Hi I am not sure of my sexual orientation. I am a girl in 8th grade. I crush on guys and girls. The crushes usually last longer with girls. I really enjoy hugging girls, but guys, not so much. I have dreams about both genders. I am not sure if I am lesbian or straight, if anyone could help me figure it out that would be great.
What is bisexual? Also, I know that a lot of people go through this question around my age, so I wasn't sure if it was for real or not, I have been feeling this way for about ten months though, and that seems like a long time, so I'm just not sure.
It means you like both sexes male and female although you might like one more than the other hope this helps x
Bisexual means that you can see yourself being in a relationship or having sex with either a guy or a girl. It means you are attracted to both. A lot of people who are actually gay believe that they're bisexual at first. I thought I was bi at first but now I'm beginning to think I may be a lesbian. You just figure it out in time--you are on the right track to figuring it out since you are accepting that you are attracted to girls. I personally like girls more than guys, and I am not sure if I can see myself having sex with a guy, so that is why I think I am possibly gay. However, if you are bisexual, that doesn't mean you have to like guys and girls equally. You can like girls more than guys and still be bisexual--it just means you have a preference for girls. You don't have to like both genders equally to be bi. Does this help a bit? Also, how old are you, if you don't mind me asking? You are right that teenage years are a confusing time for everybody however don't let yourself think your feelings aren't real just because you are young. When I was younger my mom tried to tell me that it's normal to be attracted to the same sex when you're young and that it'll go away. It didn't :lol: Sometimes it's just the way you are, and that's totally okay!
