Confuzzled - Bi or Gay?

[JCake]

So, I know I'm attracted to guys physically and emotionally, but when it comes to girls it's a gray line. I can be emotionally attracted to them, want to go out with them, but not want to have a physical relationship with them. It's really weird. Help? :what:

I dont believe in the 3-point sexuality scale where everyone has to be either straight, bi or gay, its far more fluid and flexible than that. Why worry too much about the labels, if you enjoy female company but dont want sex with them that seems fine to me, although obviously if you were to date a girl that could lead to disappointment on her part. Just be yourself, that's all that matters in the end.

It's not so much the label (even though it sort of is), but just the lack of me being able to explain it to other people. Like, I absolutely love this one girl and my friends know that because they asked me if I were to go out with a girl, who would it be. So I told them how much I cared about her and now they all want me to ask her out even though I tried to explain to them why I didn't want to which is because the way I am with her is pretty much how it would be if I were going out with her. We wouldn't do anything physical and then when we break up we wouldn't be friends and she's the friend that keeps me sane and talks me through a bunch of problems and stuff.

I just hate not being able to describe to my friends exactly why I won't go out with a girl even if I actually love them like I do this one girl and why I can like a girl, but not want to have sex with them. It's almost like I'm the complete opposite of some of my friends, because they'll want to have sex with pretty much any girl, but won't actually like them and just use them for sex. Idk, I guess what I feel for a girl is moreso a best friend type of love rather than a want to have a relationship with type of thing, but it's still confusing and extremely tedious to give a good explanation for.

Anyways, thanks for your input, I didn't think about the fact that sexuality really isn't black and white.

I'm about where you are. I just tell kids that I don't want to ruin our friendship and I'm not in a hurry to get anyone pregnant. (I'm a freshman in High School)
