    So I know I like guys. At least romantically. Heck, my current crush is a guy and have liked him for few months. The thing is, I fantasize about having sex with women. Imagining that makes me turn on more than when I imagine myself having sex with a guy. I always look at women whenever I watch straight porn. I don't give a damn about guy's body if there's a naked woman/women around. Or I just watch lesbian porn.

    In real life though, I catch myself checking guys out, rarely any women. I've never had any romantic feelings for women, but I keep thinking I might if I start dating one.

    I'm not sure how I'm supposed to experiment either when I literally can't. I never dated or had my first kiss me even though I'm 18. It's not like I'm ugly. I've been actually told I'm pretty, and I believe that I am. It's just that people don't hit on me, and I don't know how to hit on people. (And it doesn't help that people here are stinking spoiled rich and are pothead assholes.) I have a gay friend, and he complains that there aren't any gay/bi guys in the area.

    You might have a look here for a few thoughts that might help:
    Am I Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, or Transgender?

    I'd say relax and take your time...
    you might visit the next lgbt center near you, with courses and activities...

    well there might be a few ways to meet other people... for example visiting sports activities with female players... go to concerts of singers lesbians tend to like... etc...

    and, well, what you said about people in your area sonds a bit judgemental... there are nice people everywhere...

    hugs

    You don't necessarily have to experiment to know what you want. For some people it helps, but you don't need to focus on getting experience for experience's sake. What you've done -- examining your attractions -- is at least as good an indication of orientation as experiences (even a straight girl can have sex with a guy and not enjoy it).

    Porn and even sexual fantasies aren't always a great indicator. But if sex with a woman is something you could actually see yourself doing... if you think you could have a fulfilling relationship with a woman... You just might be bi.

    Interesting train of thought. You've had romantic feelings for guys without dating them, haven't you? Maybe you just haven't met a woman who made you feel that way yet. Maybe you weren't open to it. Or maybe you're heteroromantic.

    Since your current crush is a guy, why not just roll with that, and see what happens. You don't have to experiment right now, and figure yourself out right now. Just be open.

    I think I'm in a similar situation. I don't watch porn and I don't really get turned on by women's bodies but the rest of what you describe sounds very familiar.

    Like Lyana said, since you have a crush right now, just see what happens there. Questioning your sexuality can take quite a while. I started over a year ago and I'm definitely not done yet.

    About having no experience: believe me, I know the feeling. I have been kissed and have made out with someone but most of it I only did because I felt like I had to get experience. I thought about sleeping with a friend of mine (male) just to get it over with. I didn't do it and I won't because it just doesn't work for me. It might be different for you, but making out with someone I wasn't attracted to and didn't have romantic feelings for felt horribly awkward and I was always uncomfortable.

    Try to relax. You have all the time in the world to figure out what you feel and what you want. It can be stressful at times, but try to remind yourself that it's ok to be uncertain.
