    Hey, so I think I've pretty much decided that I like girls, but I still frequently get that feeling that I'm somehow wrong and I don't after all. The thing is, I'm getting really confused with the idea of aesthetic attraction (I often find feminine men aesthetically attractive) and anything else. Earlier today, I saw a girl and I got this really weird feeling in my stomach and just wanted to smile at her and talk to her all day. Does this feeling just signify aesthetic attraction or was it something more? Thank you for all your help!

    That sounds a lot like what I would describe as romantic attraction, like, you want to do nothing but talk to them and know them etc.
    Aesthetic attraction is attraction to the way people look.
    Whereas romantic attraction is the attraction to the person themselves. I think.
