Back to square one...sadly

I'm out of the closet, have great accepting friends and family, not been bullied for being gay, and just never had a boyfriend...so why do I wish I was straight? I thought I was through this phase

I don't know why you're wishing you were straight, it might be because you've just come out of the closet. When I came out, I had a feeling of vulnerability, but it went away in about a week. Maybe you're still just a little edgy from the whole experience of coming out. Alternatively, your mind could still be wishing that it was straight, since the straight life is in many ways easier than the gay one. I'm no doctor, but trust me, it goes away with time, and as you and others come to accept yourself, you won't feel that way anymore. Good luck!

You just have to be confident and happy about who you are, and what you are shouldn't matter. Gay or straight, it's only a small portion of who you are. Don't make it seem like it's everything.

My guess would be that you are just looking for a partner at this point. You just want someone you could hang out with in a special way, whatever that may be.

Maybe you're thinking you were straight because you haven't had any personal experience with your feelings. You haven't been able to express your feelings, you've only been able to tell them. Maybe once you find somebody all will change. :D

Congrats for coming out!

I think you just need to get used to it and accept you for you, which will happen in time.
You did the hard part, which was coming out, now everything will set in place :)
