Confused - April 19th 2011, 11:53 AM

So I've been questioning my sexuality for a while now. I talked to a friend of mine from school who is lesbian and she's gonna help me find someone to expiriment with and help me figure this out and all. But yesterday at work I was working with my friend who's a girl an I couldn't stop having thoughts of being with her. And although I've been talking to guys a lot and while at work my coworkers/friends have pointed out guys they think are cute, I don't have any feelings or opinions or thoughts toward them. Not like I used to.

I'm so confused and don't know what to think or do.

I don't know as everyone feels like that at some time, but I know it's not un-common to wonder about your sexuality - I've felt exactly the same so many times. I'd advise trying not to think about it labled terms - if you like girls that's fine, and if you decide you like guys the next week, that's also fine. If you ever want to pm me, I'm here to talk ^^

Yes I so agree with Jessy, dont put a label on yourself. Just follow your feelings.
I am also confused.

Hey Konton.

Figuring out your sexuality can be long and confusing process. Don't rush yourself; give yourself time to explore, consider, and discover. Labels can be nice, because they can make things easier to understand, but they can also be limiting; for example, if you call yourself a lesbian, but find yourself falling for a guy, you may talk yourself out of it simply because you feel you have to, thereby missing an amazing opportunity. Does that make sense? Basically, follow your heart, and see where it takes you.

If you want to be with a girl, that's fine. It doesn't mean you can't be with a guy at another point in life, and it doesn't automatically make you gay. Some people have feelings for guys at one time, and girls at another; it's perfectly natural. Just because you feel more attracted to girls right now doesn't mean it will always be that way, or that you can only be with girls. It just means that that's how you feel now, and that's fine.

As for what to do now... you don't have to do anything. If you want to act on these feelings, then you can, but if you choose to just hold off for a while, that's fine too. It's good you were able to talk to your friend about it, and it sounds like you'll have a support system during this, which is also good.

Good luck with everything.


Nothing in the world is
the way it ought to be.
It's harsh, and cruel.

But that's why there's us - champions.
Doesn't matter where we come from,
what we've done or suffered,
or even if we make a difference.

We live as though the
world is as it should be,
to show it what it can be.

Re: Confused - April 20th 2011, 10:44 PM

Thanks guys for your support and help! Everyday I think about this. And think of what I want with my life. And how I feel about guys. And then girls. And everyday I feel like I'm leaning more and more toward girls. I haven't ever really liked being with guys romantically or sexually. Just liked having a guy to call my boyfriend and be able to hang out with them. But I love being with girls and hanging out with them. I've had feelings for a few of my friends before. I've had dreams of doing stuff with a lot of them before. And everytime I've had those dreams, the next time I saw whoever the dream was about, I had those ideas and dreams in my mind. I liked it too.

My friend from school is still on the lookout for a girl for me. And I'm keeping her posted with how things are going and all. I'm actually thinking of sending her this post. But idk. We'll see.

Thanks again for your support and help. It means a lot.
