    I have been struggling with my sexuality for a while, going back and forth between bisexual and lesbian. I just came to the realization that I want to be a lesbian. I really really like girls, and I want a girlfriend. I cannot imagine myself with a guy at all. The thought of being straight scares me. This makes me seem so gay, but I have never actually be in any relationship before. Is this a phase? Could I be straight or Bisexual? Should I not know because I have never actually even kissed someone before? Please help... any advise, comments, similar concerns, anything will help.
    Thank you

    If it bothers you that much then maybe you should just say you're gay even if you are bisexual. But have you ever had a crush on a guy or felt attracted to them? :slight_smile:

    How old are you? If you're 13 it's only natural to be confused! I kind of one day just realised I liked women and that was that.. went through around a year of ignoring it then I finally decided to face it. If you can't imagine yourself kissing or emotionally bonding with a guy then yeah i'd say you're likely a Lesbian. Welcome to the club!

    I hope this helped at least a little! x

    I'm not sure how old you are, but growing up I never saw myself with a man at all. The idea of marrying a man, and living that life, never even entered my mind. It never appealed to me.

    You seem very stressed about this. How old are you?

    I'm in the same boat as repressed and am 15. Does age play a role in this? Can someone older clarify?

    I am 16 and I have never had a crush on anyone specifically. Does age matter in this?
    Thank you very much for your help!

    I wouldn't necessarily say age has a role in it, but the older you get, the greater the chance is of you having felt crushes and sexual attractions towards different kinds of people, giving you a better picture of you preferences.

    But that's just my opinion.
