Basically if you’re a guy who’s into women, then you’re straight. Women and ‘trans women’ are both still women. Anyone who identifies themselves as a female is a woman. So if you’re into people who identify themselves as a woman and you identify yourself as a man, then you’re straight. You could be aromantic heterosexual. In the end labels aren’t that important.

If you don’t feel like you have any romantic attraction to men, you could identify as heteroromantic since you are a man who has romantic attraction to women. If you find yourself also attracted to non-binary people as well though you could definitely call yourself biromantic or polyromantic because you would have romantic attraction to more than just women. If you feel like maybe you could be romantically attracted to men you just haven’t yet then you could call yourself panromantic as well if you feel that would fit you. Apply the same to your sexuality.

Try not to stress yourself out about what to call yourself, it can change or fluctuate if you find something that fits you better or even if your preferences change with your experiences.

As far as finding a girlfriend I wish I could help you, but I haven’t found a partner either lol. All I can suggest is online dating sites (be careful when using them please!) and just doing things you love to do, going to places you like to go, talking to people who seem interesting. Take classes, go to shows if that’s what you like to do. You are bound to meet someone who likes the same things as you.

Although I believe everyone who’s saying don’t label yourself is right, sometimes it’s easier in small talk if you do. I wouldn’t go parading around like a tumblr nerd would about it, but sometimes it makes things a bit easier. Although is retrospect, most of the time general population doesn’t know what these terms mean either. I myself, find I have to explain it more often than not. So really when you label yourself, you’re just setting yourself up to ‘try’ to educate everyone that inquires about your gender/sexuality. Then come the weirdo questions that we all get. I consider myself Nonbinary pansexual. For the average person that’s a big question mark. I refuse to try to change everyone’s mind about me though. Generally you should try to play around in the other field and see if you enjoy that. Talk to people without asking gender, if you’re truly pansexual, it won’t matter anyways.
