What the hell am I?

Hey there. So I've talked about some of this in my post in the welcome lounge, but now I've been here a few days I'm going to seek the advice I came here for.

So as I said before, I've always identified as straight. I've been attracted to men for my whole teenage life, and even had a boyfriend summer 2013, though now that I think about it, I was never really that attracted to him, I think I just liked being liked you know?

Though for a long time there's been the odd female celebrity I've been attracted to, I always brushed it off as a 'girl crush'. But the number of women I'm attracted to has been increasing recently, and now I've been admiring cute girls I see on the street or in school. So I think I might be bi. However, I'm hesitant to label myself as such in case it's just me wanting to experiment or if it's just a "phase" (god, I hate that word, but it is a concern of mine).

On top of this, I don't really find the idea of sex appealing. Tbh, I don't even find kissing to be appealing. Which leads me to believe I fall somewhere on the asexual spectrum too. Or maybe I'm just not ready for thinking about it yet. I mean, I could imagine myself trying sexual acts in the future, but they aren't really desirable to me.

The term 'biromantic asexual' has been sitting well with me as of late, but as I said I'm hesitant to put a label on myself yet. I know I'm young and don't have to label myself, but it would be nice to talk it out with you more experienced folk as I've been thinking about it a lot.

Thanks! :icon_bigg

 

Thanks Starfleet! That is something to think about, and I think you're right. That takes the pressure off a bit hahaha.
