I can't tell whether I'm straight, bi, or just curious. I am sexually attracted to guys but could never really see myself in a relationship with one while with girls, I am emotionally attracted to them but I don't really think about sex or their bodies. I know I'm not gay though because I do have an attraction to women.

Unless you are physically, sexually, and emotionally attracted to a specific gender, then you can't make such a confirmation. Your curiosity is simply peaking. Give it some more time and thought. If you are still curious and can't come to a conclusion after awhile, then make a decision for yourself. Only you can tell yourself what you are, but at this age, it should not be your top priority, nor should you dwell on it.

andy, i'm legit the exact same way. everything you described is spot on with me, so if you're feeling alone you can at least put those feelings aside. right now i've chosen to describe myself as just 'curious' though that could change. i figured why worry about labels, after all they are just words and nothing more.

i think that in order to be gay, you need to have BOTH a sexual and emotional attraction to the same sex. and to be bi, you need to have both of those for both sexes. to be straight, obviously both go toward the opposite sex. anything else (our situation for example) falls within some sort of gray zone that doesn't really have a label.

if you ever wanna talk, feel free to hit me up.

hey, guys. i've had the same problem, but i've learned to accept it. i am sexually attracted to both guys and girls, but not to guys in the relationship way. i'm up for anything though if you wanna message me ;)

Ok so here is the deal. WE can not tell you what you are. We can help you figure it out, but we can't tell you. Now, If you are sexually attracted to both sexes that is because you are a horny teenager. If you are emotionally, physically, and sexually attracted to both sexes then you are Bi, same sex you are gay, opposite you are straight. This is the general rule. Chances are you are curious or just have a whole lot of hormones raging through you, most likely both.

Puberty stirs all sorts of emotions and reactions. It is normal to feel one thing one day then completely opposite the next. Try to stay away from "labels" and just be you... if that is messing with an occasional guy friend on the side and you and him are both OK with it..then so be it. Attempting to change who you are for society in my opinion is not worth it. Just go with who you are, be who you are and you cannot go wrong.

This is very common, curiosity takes over you're mind a bit during puberty because of hormones which effect emotions. Time will tell, bud; and as said above, labels aren't important, be who you want to be.
