Hi guys, I'm 17 this year and lately, I've been feeling really confused about my sexual orientation. Ever since I was 11, I seemed to have really strong feelings towards a few of my friends. These friends always seem to be on my mind most of the time. There were times I would imagine myself lying next to them on my bed and staring into their eyes, or hugging them to sleep. There was once I had the thought of kissing one of these friends. Sometimes, I would imagine myself holding hands with them and going on dates with them. In school, I would always find myself gazing at them and even if I attempted to look at something else. If I don't see them for a day or two, I would miss them very much and sometimes I would be dying to see them. And whenever I had to go out to run an errand, there would be this little hope that I would be able to meet them somewhere. When I spent time with them, I felt exceptionally happy. I did question myself if I was gay for them but every time I did, I shrugged it off as just friend crushes because I had crushes on guys, and I thought this meant that I was straight. But now that I think about it, it feels like I may have been crushing on my friends too. In fact, I think I may be crushing on another friend now. What do you guys think? Am I possibly a bi?
It's very possible. I'm not you, so I can't tell you for sure, but it's possible. Have you ever considered trying to date a girl? I feel like if you try that, then you may be able to correctly gauge your feelings. Honestly, that's how I found out my sexuality. I started getting feelings for a girl, and I acted on them. So, yea. Try dating a girl. See what happens.
Hmm... I see. Thanks for the response! ---------- Post added 28th Nov 2015 at 12:43 AM ---------- Okay, I'll do that if I have a chance. Thanks for the advice!
