How do I figure out my sexuality?

0

I like guys but I keep finding myself physically attracted to some girls too. I’ve thought about being bi or bi curious or lesbian or straight but I have nothing to go off of.

I feel the same way. You know what I did? I just stopped trying to put a label to my sexuality. I like people, I like their personalities and if they happen to have female or male parts than that's fine. If you don't know what to answer when they ask "what's your sexual orientation" then tell them it's none of their business. I hope this helps you a little because it sucks to feel that way

you can be whatever the hell you want! don't bother trying to label it. labels aren't important. why do you need to have a name for it anyways?

The thing about sexuality is that is fluid, and for more than one reason. You could be bi, but there are other things that you could be. I think the only one who can truly define it is you.
There are aspects about sexuality and liking others that differs. Do you have an emotional, intellectual, sexual, and/or ect attraction to this person? Some people are emotionally attracted to males while sexually attracted to females. Again, you have to determine what it is and to do that best is to try, even for a second, to separate yourself from societal norms.
Do a little bit of research. It can be possible that you are bi-sexual, pan-sexual (similar to bi-sexual but it includes trans and a-gendered as well), demi-sexual (you are attracted to those you have a close relationship with.

Well. Look at what you like. If you like both genders, then it's safe to say you're bi. But you should consider that you don't really need a label. There are a million gray areas when it comes to sexuality.

then you are probably pansexual or bi, but the best thing i could say to you is to try both boys and girls. maybe you could date a girl or kiss one and if you dont like it, or do then you are attracted to girls, then date or kiss a boy, and if you like it, or dont then you now you know; its okay to like both.

Hey, so try checking out the Kinsey scale if you want too. It allows for more of a fluid approach to sexuality. Good luck!

Just let it come naturally see who you feel attracted too and if you seem to really like them why not try going out with them? If it doesn't work out or they don't swing that way (if they're same gender or opposite gender but likes their gender) accept that and move on and see other people. Eventually you will know what your sexuality is.

It's important to remember that there's a difference between finding someone to be attractive and actually being attracted to them. Lots of straight girls look at other girls all the time, but that doesn't mean they want to date them or sleep with them.I find these questions tend to help people figure things out:Do you find yourself romantically attracted to women? Do you see yourself dating women in the future? Do you ever find yourself wanting to have sex with women?If the answer is no to all of these, maybe you just think some women are hot! That's perfectly normal and even expected.If you've said yes to some of those, maybe it's time to consider looking into labels like bisexual or lesbian. Feel free to message me and I'd be happy to talk it over with you!

https://blahtherapy.com/questions/how-do-i-figure-out-my-sexuality/#answer-31667 not sure how this works but yes I've thought about maybe being with women and sleeping with them in the future. I have thought about dating too but I still also like guys so it's hard to determine what I like especially considering I've never been on a date or anything with anyone to determine what I really like.

For a while, I had the same problem. I used to go back and forth between identifying as bisexual and a lesbian. Eventually, I stopped trying to figure it out and just let it happen. By not trying to put a name to it, I was able to come into my sexuality naturally. Now, I identify as a lesbian. Sometimes, it just takes time to figure out your sexuality.

I don't like guys or girls, I like people. both romanticly and sexualy it differs from person to person.

One rule on sexuality I go by is that labels and tags are for cans and clothes. Sexual identity is fluid, it doesn't have to be either black, grey or white. It's like a diet. A diet it not a set of specific rules you have to follow when you are eating. Diet is your eating habits, so therefore your sexual identity is your sexual habits/preferences. Can you define a diet? That's how much you can define a sexual identity.
