So, I'm STILL questioning. It's been about one year of nothing but questioning. I can't make sense of my own feelings.

Okay, here's my problem. I'm attracted to both girls and boys.

Now, if it were that simple, I'd just say I'm bisexual. But its not so easy. I'm really emotionally attracted to girls. I can relate better to them, I'm more comfortable with them, and all in all, I just like their personalities better.
I'm also physically attracted to girls, but I think I probably have a 'type.' And comparing sexual attraction, I'm pretty sure I prefer girls.

I'm more...physically attracted to guys. But not really sexually. It's hard to explain. But I do find them attractive, and if their nice, I can be emotionally attracted to them, too.

Moreover, I'm interested in personality. I could care less what you look like, if you're nice to me and have an attractive personality, I COULD be interested.

So, because I can't really place who I'm really 'attracted' to, I'm still questioning. I won't come out until I'm SURE what I am.
(Sorry for the long post. I wanted to get all these thoughts down while they were fresh in my mind)

I know, pretty much, how you feel. There was a long period were I was sure that I was gay but I've started to become more emotionally attached to girls. I used to tell people I was gay but now I'm not so sure.
My advice to you would be to not label yourself. Don't say that your "gay" or "bi", but just that you like guys and girls. Who cares if you like them in diferrent ways? Why do you need a word like "gay" or "bi" to tell you how you feel?

You are you, nothing will change that so why try and put a lable on yourself?

Megan, I feel alot like you. I find girls very attractive, and boys too but differently. I havent really started thinking about this until recently. I feel like I want to cuddle up and be close to girls, but that I like guys for something else...I'm having a hard time figuring this out right now. I guess its normal?

Honestly, don't worry about it. I'd be more inclined to say you're bi and *prefer* women - that doesn't make you a lesbian - but it might turn out you don't like guys sexually at all, or that you do.
Methinks we obsess a little too much, and I may be biased because I'm comfortable&aware of my sexuality.

There's nothing wrong with being attracted to both.

Why does it seem like everybody on here is in a hurry to come out? what do you gain by putting a label on yourself? Just be who you are, go with what feels good, and tell whoever needs to know only when they ask?

I understand exactly what you mean.I've been going through this through puberty.

I think it might just be the mind and brain trying to see what will best suit it for a "life" mate or a gender you stick to.More then likely you'll end up with being bisexual leaning towards one or the other(probably girls since you said you are more emotionally attracted to them).

Don't sweat it though,you'll find out soon enough.Just go with what you like.
