Does not being intersted in girls make me gay?

[Thylacine]

I'm not really interested in going out with girls right now does this make me gay?
I'm pretty sure I'm not interested in guys though.
Is this just a phase I'm going through?

Well you are only 13...I would give yourself time. You don't need to have your sexuality set in stone at 13...heck, many people don't figure it out until they are 17 or older. It could be a phase. I go through phases where nobody is attractive to me and phases where everyone is attractive. Just give yourself time...you shouldn't be in such a rush.

Also mods...I think this should be moved to Teen Sexuality.

Nope. Remember that phase when girls were icky and girls had cooties...well youre probably still in it :P

Not necessarily icky, but you get the point :P
If you were sexually attracted to men, then you would be gay. And since you didn't say you were, I would assume you aren't gay.
But I do say give yourself some time :)

Well, your 13. Your body is most likely the same as it was when you were 10.

Let yourself develope more. As you get older, you'll start getting feelings for girls (or boys, whatever your sexual orientation happens to be)

Depending upon your age and development, you may or may not be "interested in girls". In my opinion, i think that you are too young to determine and that you many not be that far in your development as a teen. Either way, we all go through "phases" through which we may think we are straight, gay, and/or bisexual. My personal view is that one should not worry so much about if they are straight, gay, or bisexual at such a young age because we are simply too young to truely understand ourselves and our sexuality.

you have to be emotionally attracted to guys to be gay/bi, if you have no attraction to them, you aren't gay

well i have known i am gay since i was 9 years old i have always liked looking at other boys but u prob arnt gay u mostlikely going through a stage were ur u just dont like girls

[JackOfClubs]

Your probably not gay. Its just puberty taking its toll. If you were gay, you would probably have strong feelings towards guys and little to no feeling towards girls.

Clarification.

Straight - Emotionally and physically attracted to the opposite gender.

Gay - Emotionally and physically attracted to the same gender.

Bi-sexual - Emotionally and physically attracted to both genders.

Curious - Sexually attracted to both genders, but not usually emotionally. This is due to hormones and means the person hasn't decided on their sexuality.

Asexual - No emotional or physical attraction to either gender.

Your hormones might not have kicked off yet, so you may not be any of the above. I'd wait a while. But no, if you don't like girls, it doesn't mean you're gay. Don't label yourself yet, give yourself some time.

you need to give it a few years, however I do feel that it is just a phase, alot of guys go through it, ifact I pulled up a statistic somewhere saying that 80% (to the nearest 10%) of all boys under the age of 15 have thought about or actually had an intimate relationship with another male, and after running the survey on married men, 58% confessed that they went through a stage of not going out with or even being attracted to girls.

ya ur 13 so ur hormones havent gotten to u yett just wait a bit and you will find out your sexuality we can not decice your sexuality only you can

[CestDan]

I agree with the other posts, just give yourself time and you will probably fix your mind clearly.

[kyle95]

ur only 13 mate. give it time. u'll soon find that girls are fun 2 b with and r charming.

[itsandrew_]

no it does not make you gay. it could be a phase or hormones

[Bougainvillea]

Only you know what your sexuality is. It's not really something we can help with. I think..

[MoveAlong]

NO.

See I don't understand why some people ask us these questions. If you don't like guys, how could you be gay?? Sserrrioussllyyy?Gawd.

Short Answer: No

Long Answer (for the sake of the OP): Just because you've become less interested in girls/women doesn't automatically make you gay. You're still young and are probably just starting to have this feeling of not being interested in girls. If you aren't, then that's perfectly natural. Nothing wrong with it. You could be bi-sexual, but we can't really tell you that unless you know FOR SURE that you are. You'll probably have that interest rekindled when you get a crush or something similar to a girl, but that's not always definite that you'll always have that interest. Once again, you're still young and are starting to think about who you are and where you fit in, and that takes a long time for some people to figure out.

Cool another NZer! Nah I don't think so... to be honest I have had a gf but at the moment although I find girls attractive I am not really interested in a relationship right now or anything. I am 18 btw, plus your only 13 my guess is your in year 9 right? Any relationships started now probably won't work out in the long term(not that you shouldn't have one if you feel you are ready) but just take your time and wait before deciding on anything. If you are straight once you find 'the' girl you'll probably find you want a relationship.
