What's happening with my orientation?

[Acro34]

I am 14 years old and ever since a few months ago ive had an emotional attraction to my best friend. I wouldn't describe it like a crush, but there is still a feeling in my gut and I dont know how to interpret it. Is it something bi/homosexual? Is it because we have been good friends for years and he is a close friend? I dont have any urges to do anything sexual/romantic like hugging, kissing, or more extreme things with him, there is no sexual connection whatsoever. I just dont really know what to do. This has been driving me up a wall for months. One moment i feel like ive found the answer, then I read some tiny other thing online that probably doesn't even relate to me and it sends me back into confusion. Thanks for your time..
Also, I've been having a little trouble with this girl I think I "like". My mind is telling me she is sexually attractive, but I am having trouble actually getting those fuzzy feelings inside when you like a girl. When I met my ex-girlfriend (before we started dating, and these sexuality problems started to happen), she was new to the school, and I found those fuzzy feelings almost Instantly. Now, in the present, I want to ask this girl to homecoming but it almost feels like there would be no point if I couldn't find any feelings for her. There are some I guess, but they dont have any powerful presence and seem really faint. Sorry if i'm rambling on.. ive been confused for months and just really need help. thanks again. :)

It's perfectly normal to have these feelings. It's just hormones at work. However, since you say it's emotional, then..you might be bi/gay. I don't think you need to worry about it TOO much, since it's likely to be hormones, but..just remember, whatever you are, nobody will judge you. <3

It sounds like you're probably still confused and shouldn't hurry to put a label on yourself until you are 100% sure, but you sound probably bi-curious to me. Just let your feelings and urges calm down and then you can know for certain! :)

That's factually innacurate; Unfortunately there will be judging people if you realise you are Bi or gay.


OP:
It's not for me to label you, although your feelings towards a certain person don't reflect your sexuality at all. I would say your straight but I think you hormones are playing havoc so you should just enjoy your friendships/relationships and anywhere they lead... And if you can just accept yourself then you should be able to work out your sexuality for sure.

Hope I've helped.

As a teenager we develop these types of feelings, and right now by the looks of it, your in a mix of many types of orientation feelings, that can be extremely confusing! Right now because your in the middle of everything, just go with the flow! Allow what you want to do right now, and test new things! And guess what!? If it doesn't work out, you know you have other options! Once puberty ends, then that's the time where you can reflect, and see what you actually preferred when you were experimenting, trying things out when you were in puberty.

sexual/romantic like hugging
Hugs are sexual now? That escalated fast.

Having strong good feelings for someone doesn't have to end in sex, but if you are both into it that can be a great way of showing how you feel.

Not having strong feelings for someone suggests you probably don't have a lot in common. Either get to know them or don't bother with them : its your choice.

Recognising beauty is certainly not an obligation to develop feelings for someone.

My advice : love who you want, don't try to love who others tell you to.

Don't worry since you have been friends for a while i think it's just that you are close friends, since you don't feel for him sexually and you still like girls, I think I had a feeling like this but didn't feel sexually, it's just being really happy that you have such a good friend.
