any advice? (: - July 21st 2010, 08:55 PM

For the past few months I have begun to question my sexuality. I used to be like 'boysboysboys!!!' about stuff but now I'm not. It got me thinking about my feelings and what I'd be happy with.
I realised I get on with girls alot better and feel alot more comfortable around them.
but I still find boys attractive and I like this one lad alot! However I think I like a girl too. It's strange.. I've never felt like this towards a girl before and to be completely honest, it scares me.

I really don't know what to think anymore. any advice? I could really do with some right now (:

I'm in a somewhat similar situation: I am still pretty boy crazy, love them. And that attraction seems to last. I'm also head over heels for a guy, and as soon as i see one that a girl is talking to, even if I am only a little attracted to him, I want to rip her to shreds :P It is a little scary, especially when you have a tendancy to overreact about even little attractions.
14/15 is young, and bi curious phases often last a bit until your hormones calm. A lot of things change at our early teens, and feeling more comfortable around girls is normal. In my opinion, the reason I personally feel more self concious around guys b/c i care so much about what they think, and i am more comfortable around them just b/c i don't care much about pleasing them.
One thing though, is don't take things into context too much, or freak out, or over think things.

I'm just trying to relate and give you advice... I'm sexually attracted to girls, because i'm a bit timid around boys, because i'm self concious, especially sexually. The comfort factor for me has to do with my self image, just something to think about. But guys certainly don't gross me out, and i get whiplash from attractive guys. This is normal at this age, and i wouldn't stress. Just go with your heart, because sexual stuff comes later. For me, guys are my heart, but girls turn me on sometimes.

Oh, and another member here made a poll and conducted some research saying many straight women felt attraction or had experiences with another girl at some point. And straight women often get turned on by girl on girl or other women in a study, but they can also get turned on by non human pornography. Crazy, but it shows how different we are, and sex doesn't so much deal with your preference. So in the end, go with your heart and how can you be wrong? No one has to be 100% straight, there is always a gray area in sexuality, it's not black and white, gay or straight,

Hey there.

In a situation like yours, the best advice I can give you is this: give it time.

It could be this is just a phase, and you'll grow out of it. Or could be that you're bisexual, or gay. Either way, that's fine.

It's actually relatively common for a straight person to have a crush on someone of their own gender, and it may not mean that you're gay or bi.

So, don't try and force anything. Do what feels natural. Remember, you're still young, and there's plenty of time to figure things like sexuality out.

Good luck!


And when I wake, I'm right here by your side,
to feel your heart beat in and out of time.

I had a similar experience a couple of months ago; I was actually in a relationship with a guy at the time, and believed I was totally straight. Then I met this wonderful girl, and and I got to talking to her and soon began to start crushing on her (much to my surprise). I'm more comfortable around her than I ever was with guys, and it makes me happy to feel that way. But you can be straight and still be attracted to people of the same gender, there are plenty of people out there who will tell you that. So I say, just go with the flow, and do what you are most comfortable with.
