Does this make me bi?

[jkringle]

I have always thought that I was only attracted to girls, but I have found some guys attractive. The weird thing is that they are all younger. I am 16 and the guys I find attractive are around 12. Is that weird? Will I grow out of it? Is anyone else like this? Should I try to get help?

Just because someone from the same gender looks attractive doesn't mean you're bi. You would be bi, for example, if you start to develop romantics feelings, or if you have sex.

And don't worry, you're definitely not alone ^_^

I definitely have romantic feelings, but those are all private. Thank you for your reply. I guess I am more scared of growing older and not having the age of my attraction change. I have read that happens to some people.

You think you will be a pedophile?
Dude thats not likely just cuz youre attracted to younger ppl now.
Its not like youre into 7 year olds (I hope)
the age will get older as you do probably.
Even still what age do you think most 30yo straight guys are attracted to?
If their honest they would say prob 17, 18, 19yo girls :cool:

It's likely to just be your hormones as you have never felt any feelings towards guys before. However, being attracted to 12 year olds isn't that bad, you will grow out of that eventually (Yay, hormones). Don't do anything stupid.

My sister once told me that a 3-4 year age gap was generally accepted. For the most part. But don't like live by hat. I mean for me that wouldn't work. I really dont want to be with anyone younger then 11 and that's a two year difference for me. But my only boy friend was 16 and that's three years older. I think itd be werid if you were 18 and attracted to a 12 year old. But I think your OK for right now.

The ideal situation is as you get older, so will the age range of those that you are attracted to. Its scary Im sure to think that you might not progress and if you think that all of the time, maybe you should talk to a therapist about it to get a better perspective on it, but know this, you arent alone. There are many others who feel the same way, they just dont admit to it. You'll be alright dude, dont stress it.

You find them attractive? What exactly do you mean by that? It doesn't matter what sexual orientation you are, you can identify attractiveness within all people. I'm straight but I can tell if a man is attractive or not. If you actually want to have sex with them though, then you might be bisexual.

Ive heard that youre attraction age usually is around your present age but then like HunterDaniels said that a lot of people find late teens or even mid teens hot. I guess that like the whole school girl/boy thing. So like Shiny Moon said you're not alone at all :)

Only you know what floats your boat and no one can explain your sexuality to you. You don't have to worry too much about this right now but if you need to know and put a label on it just Look at the facts of how you feel, give it some time if you need and maybe come up with an idea of what you think you are.

It could be that you are attracted to delicate, more traditionally feminine features, which a lot of 12 year olds have. I'm guessing that they way you feel will change as you grow up.

I don't think you can apply a rule like that when it makes the younger person pre-pubescent as puberty would always be the lower limit for someone who doesn't have a sexual mental health issue.
