    I felt emotionally attracted to certain girls but mostly emotionally and sexually attracted to guys. That's what made me annoyed and I finally accepted I might be gay although I hadn't been in any relationship with both sexes as I sees myself as cold blooded and naturally I'm afraid to be in one and I've no idea why...=.=||

    Hi there, maybe it's because you're just emotionally attracted to her, hence the reason why you only want to date her and do non-sexual things with her. I believe that's entirely possible, even if you do consider yourself gay, as there's no black and white definition of what it means to be gay, however it depends how you feel towards her. You might have a tendency towards being a bisexual, but at the end of the day, if guys are your preference and that's who you feel the most passionate about, despite your emotional connection to that girl, then in imo you could confidently call yourself gay :slight_smile:

    Well, if you're looking for the name for it, I believe it is called bi-romantic homosexual.

    But as others may point out, there is no research to support a distinction between sexual and romantic attraction. On the other hand, who cares about research when it's your lived experience?
