    How do I know if I'm lesbian?
    I notice girls more than I do guys, and I don't think of guys in an intimate way and kissing guys kinda makes me uncomfortable.. but at the same time I've never had a girlfriend. I haven't had a girlfriend but I've dated guys. Does that make me bisexual, or just confused?

    sorry this is kinda vague, I'm just unsure..
    any advice is helpful, thanks

    I think you just have to experiment in your mind and think about how what you're thinking makes your body feel. Eventually, you will figure it out! Good luck!

    You don't /have/ to label yourself, just go with your natural feelings and don't suppress anything (if that makes sense)

    I've never had a relationship with a girl but I still identify as a lesbian because I am sexually and romantically *attracted* to females only. On the contrary, I have dated guys in high school and it felt really wrong and uncomfortable.

    Maybe think back on all the people you've developed crushes/feelings for. If you fantasize, does your mind wander to males, females, both? When I did that I realized it was actually all girls and I really only dated guys because I was kind of in denial. Having said that, finding a guy attractive doesn't immediately rule you out. I guess it's just about your typical, usual attractions to people

    Sorry I'm really bad at wording my thoughts ha

    If it wasn't for my first relationship, I would not have started questioning my orientation.

    In addition, if I didn't watch porn, then I wouldn't know what type of porn arouses the most. Porn isn't the best indicator for sexual orientation, but if it aligns with who you check out in reality, then that's something for you to think about.

    Lastly, if I didn't think much about my attraction to men, then I would not have come to EC.
