Sexual attraction vs. romantic attraction

[Ledasuki]

I have been identifying myself as straight because society taught me that. I have always been able to like guys romantically and sexually. :wub:
Lately though I have been starting to realize that I am also sexually attracted to girls. Before I didn't really think about it. I am a bit confused about the whole sexuality thing.
Am I not romantically attracted women because I was taught not to be? Or am I just jumping to conclusions?
I am confused because I have heard of girls that have been straight but after being with a girl becoming lesbian.

I'd like to talk with someone because I am confused. :what:

First of all, don't rush into anything and don't label yourself unless you are very sure of what you are.
You may be bisexual, but I wouldn't be sure. Maybe it's them crazy hormones. Don't get scared and don't jump into conclusions. Society may have taught you to like boys, but you don't have to listen to all those stereotypes if you don't want to. You'll find out what you are eventually.
I repeat again, don't trust your hormones. Maybe you're just experimenting.
Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more!!!

^^^This is good advice.
Just explore and be honest with yourself about what and who you like, and try to find out some of the finer points of your sexuality. It will take some time, but that is the process for most.
I took a long time to come to terms with my bisexuality, and I was in a panic because I felt that I had to label myself immediately. Just remember that you have as much time as you need, and there is no pressure on you to jump to conclusions. Many people sit somewhere on the sexuality spectrum, in between "straight" and "gay", because of personal preference towards one side or the other, so don't feel you have to rush to any conclusions.
Just feel comfortable being attracted to whoever you are attracted to, and give yourself time to explore and understand.
Good luck.
