So here it goes. Ever since 5th grade I have been questioning my sexuality. In 3rd grade, I liked girls. 4th grade, it started to fade away. 5th grade, I had a sexual experience with another boy (He showed me his thing I showed him mine. Nothing too bad I guess). Lets call this boy Dave. 6th grade I was extremely insecure about my sexuality. Dave and me were still friends but I felt like I had to reassure to him I wasn't gay and was 100% straight. 7th grade I had a GF for 2 weeks and it felt like a friendship rather then a relationship. 8th grade I started to realize myself checking out other guys. 9th grade (where I am now) I had a BF for a week (he moved away) and every time we held hands and it always made me very nervous inside. Every time he talked to me I was at a loss for words. I recently told my mom these feelings I have been having and she told me its probably a phase. So do you think its a phase or not? -Thanks
No I don' t think it is a phase ,I think that you are not to sure what you want yet but you will figure it out just give it some time. Who knows only time will tell . I wish you luck
It may be a phase and then again it may not, I really wouldn't worry to much about labels right now though. Trust me on this one; focusing to much on what to label yourself as will just stress you out. Sexuality can be very fluid throughout a person's life so like I said, it may be a phase but it may not be.
Yeah you sound gay, sounds like what you thought was opposite sex attraction was not... suppose you could in some ways call that a phase.
I don't think it's a phase. I think that you're discovering who you are and who you want to be, and that's part of growing up! It's exciting, and it's nerve-wracking, and it's worth every moment, so just look forward to whatever life brings you. Don't worry about what anyone else may tell you it is, just be YOU. (*hug*)
Yeah like everyone above is saying, time will tell. I've been through a similar situation when I was your age, where I liked girls at first then it slowly shifted to much older guys. I'm still confused by that, and while porn and past experiences with older guys in general might have influenced my confusion, I try not to let it bother me that much. Even if you find the perfect one, you'd still have to worry about your education, right? So worry about school first, and by the time you're at post secondary you'll have enough to worry about.
