Well... I'm 16 but I've never had a relationship of any kind with anyone. I have lots of really close friends but most of them haven't been in a serious relationship either. One of my best friends (a girl) is even a Jehova's Witness, so she's not even allowed to and I don't think about her in that way.

My best friend is a girl who I've known forever and we are so close, but never that way. I guess I've never gotten into a relationship because I've never felt anything serious for anyone. I consider myself straight, and I don't know what I would do if I decided I really were gay (except feel kinda stupid at first:P).

The thing is, I don't really want to be gay and it doesn't feel entirely right for me, like I would be doing it just for sex, yet I get aroused instantly with gay porn or hot guys, and not often with girls- just in a different way, I guess.

This year I had a really messy thing with a girl who had a massive crush on me (I was oblivious- thought we were just friends, I don't even talk to her that much...) and I felt like I could have gone out with her, but there was no point because I didn't feel anything for her. She is really beautiful, and such a great person, but I never really think of people in the way of getting into relationships. It kinda freaks me out. Especially when girls are asking ME for that when the primitive thoughts hadn't even crossed my mind. I'm think I'm so naive sometimes. I get straight As in almost all my subjects (creative arts overachiever :D) but I am so much of a virgin I don't know what I'm going to do with my LIFE.

If ANYONE feels they can explain even one of these life mysteries, ta muchly :)

Don't worry about rushing into a relationship. Dating is fun but only if you actually like the other person, not if you feel pressured because of your age or other things like that.

I'm 16 and I've dated one guy and went out with another once. Neither of those relationships were serious at all. When you feel something for someone, at first you may not realize it but you will in time. I remember when I was younger wondering what liking someone felt like. It's different for everyone but you'll know.

Don't worry about your sexuality. Everyone questions theirs at some point around this time. I believe you're born with your sexuality but this is the time you question it because you're being introduced to more serious relationships with people. Don't stress about it though because it will work itself out.

Just take your time!
