So a couple of months ago, I did this 'experiment'. I told a few of my friends, one at a time, that I was gay, to see their reactions and opinions (told them afterwards it was an experiment:D which was fun). At that time, I was bi-curious but had a crush on a friend (mentioned in another thread i started) but I was pretty sure I wasn't gay. Afterwards, I watched a lot of gay-related youtube videos and looked into LGBT stuff to try and figure out my sexuality. Over the past few weeks of the new school year I've been mentioning gay stuff to some of my closer friends and even told a few about the crush I've had, even the one had a crush on (except I told her it was someone else, which I also had a slight attachment to, wouldnt define it as a gay attraction though).

So my situation is, this girl who I liked and told now thinks I'm gay or bi (I did deny it, but she saw right through it) and I don't really know what I should do. I'm most afraid of the possibility she might figure the entire thing out and then get weirded out by me. I don't really think I'm attracted to other girls in a gay way, but I'm not sure. :what::what::confused::confused:

Is this a phase? I'm leading myself to think so, because I'm in highschool and 15, but I've asked some people if they've had any similar dilemmas and it doesn't look like it.

You might still have problems figuring out your sexuality. There is nothing wrong with being curious. I'm sure along the line, if sooner and not later, you will be able to figure out what your sexuality is. You shouldn't be afraid to tell your friends about you situation, if they think you are weird, and are freaked out about it, then they weren't really good friends to begin with. It is not a phase, you just are knowing more about your sexuality, and you are not sure if you are bi-sexual, or gay. So you are experimenting with both sexes.
