questioning sexuality.

Being a tomboy has nothing to do with sexuality..., and you posted this on the wrong thread. This is for Transgender people XD

 

First of all, I'm not sure what LyonTheGreat is talking about.... you definitely posted this in the correct forum! This is the sexual and romantic orientation forum, not the gender forum.

As far as your sexuality, I think the first thing you should know is that you are still quite young and you have lots of time to figure yourself out. There's no need to stress right now.

I would say you are probably attracted to girls, given how you feel about your friend.
You said you've always thought you were straight before, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything about your sexuality - in our heteronormative society, many people grow up believing that they're straight for a long time, even when they're not.

In order to figure out whether you are bi or lesbian, try to picture yourself in a relationship with a guy, kissing a guy, marrying a guy - how does that make you feel? Are there any boys in your life who you would be interested in dating? Do you think you have the capacity to feel the way about a boy that you do about your friend?
These answers may not come right away, and that's okay, but as you go about your daily life you will begin to realize the answers.

And to repeat what LyonTheGreat said, being a tomboy has nothing to do with your sexuality. Stereotypes only hold some truth and they really won't be helpful for you in determining your sexuality. The only thing that will truly give away your sexuality is simply which gender(s) you are attracted to.

I can't tell you what your sexuality is, and it may take a while to figure it out for yourself, but it's important to remember that it's totally okay to be lesbian, bi, pan, whatever

Finally, remember that you don't need to label yourself right now. Just go with the flow, do some introspection and see who you really feel attracted to, and it will all become clear eventually

 

You've got to go deep inside yourself to figure it all out. It could take awhile. You're young, don't worry too much about it at this point. While I wish I would've known when I was your age, I'm glad I didn't worry much about it until I was 17. It would've screwed with everything in my life and I didn't need more of that. Focus on your friendships and schoolwork and all that jazz. That being said, I'm not saying you need to just forget about it. That's impossible and you definitely shouldn't do that. I just think you might benefit from focusing on other things at this point in your life. Sexuality is also relatively fluid, things can change. Being bi, I know a lot about this. Sometimes I'm more attracted to guys, sometimes I'm more attracted to girls, it's whatever. I would just go with your feelings, but not act on anything at this point. Don't feel rushed into coming out or anything.
I don't know if this helped at all (or made much sense for that matter), but I hope it kind of did. Good luck, may the odds be ever in your favor, you rock no matter what sexual orientation you are. Be fierce.
