So I guess it's pretty obvious why I'm here right? Well I'm a 17 year old girl who's been questioning for a while now. I think I like girls but I don't know? I dated a boy, Pedro, for a while. We did sexual stuff but I didn't really enjoy it.Maybe because we were both young and inexperienced? I liked bein with him though, holding his hand and kissing. Hell, I even liked giving him oral sex. I just didn't like anything else. Despite what I liked about him, I found myself looking at girls and thinking about them when I was with him. I got scared and felt guilty so I broke up with him. One of my closest friends is a lesbian. My family knows about her and they always tease me about how she's my girlfriend. I also recently cut my hair really short so the teasing has gotten worse. It bothers me because I don't know if they're right. I don't want to say anything so usually I just ignore it. I pine after girls but I also find myself looking at guys too? I'm not sure what I like? Well I think that's it. Thanks for listening and sorry if I took up too much of your time.
Sounds like you're stuck. well are there any specific girls you think you're attracted to? I'm going to quote yoda here so "there is no try only do", what i mean is if you think you want a non heterosexual relationship you need to go for it. maybe you'll even find someone you care about. but if you never try you'll never know and regret it later. so to sum it up, just go for broke and find people that will support you for who you are.

I know what you mean. I, too, am questioning. I've only been in a relationship with a guy, but I did notice myself also looking at girls. Even though I've never been in a relationship with a girl, I still believe there is an attraction. I think time as well as experience will help you find the clarification you seek. But then again, everybody is different. Some people just need time to just sit down and really think about it. Others find the answers by getting out there by dating, meeting new people, etc. You may need a little bit of both too. It all depends. Personally, I've never done anything beyond kissing a guy, but I know that I do like girls for sure. I think time had to do with it. And don't apologize! You definitely are not taking up anyone's time. We are all happy to help one another If there is anything else you need to talk about, do not hesitate to talk about it here. And feel free to message me if you need someone to talk/vent to. :hugs:
