Hey so basically I’m very confused about my sexuality. For years I’ve identified as a straight female because I’ve only ever kissed and done ✨things✨ with boys. But over the past few years I’ve had thoughts about getting with girls like kissing or hooking up, but I’m not sure I’d want a relationship with a girl. I think I lean more towards straight rather than bisexual because I don’t even know if I like girls like that. Does anyone have any advice? Like should I try dating a girl to see if I like it? Or am I just straight and overcomplicating the whole situation?
I would suggest trying to kid and do ✨things✨ with girls to really explore this side because sexuality is a doctrine and you will always be discovering things about yourself
what helped me to figure out my sexuality actually, unexpectedly, was deciding I didn't need labels! because if you don't have a label, there is no voice telling you you're being complicated because there's nothing to complicate. you're simply trying things to see if ya like it! this is how I accidentally figured out that I'm bisexual, romantically attracted to any gender and sexually only to women and non-binary people. of course, this might not work for you and that's okay too! some people need labels, and going without them might not float your boat.
it's also totally fine to only be sexually attracted to women and not romantically!! if hook-ups aren't your thing that's okay, but if you don't mind them, they can be lots of fun without the romance aspect:)
it's okay to experiment! just make sure you're honest about it and dont leave someone thinking there will be more when you aren't sure you like women. also, there is a difference between romantic and sexual attraction, you could be sexually attracted to women but not romantically, that one's a little harder to figure out since leading someone into a relationship not knowing if you like their gender or not is a bit much so it may be better to try and think on it more/imagine what it could be like. but experimenting with sexual attraction is something a lot of people do and it's very easy to do with no strings attached. sexuality is fluid, we all take time to figure ourselves out and you don't need to choose a label to be who you are and like who you like
yeah I really need to work on communication tbh I’ve lead people on in the past and felt so bad about it. That really makes sense I never thought about it that way thank you 💕
Honestly sexuality is super complicated. You could be attracted sexually to one gender but not romantically, etc. It can be really hard to figure out and it'll probably take some time, but don't stress yourself out over it. You'll discover what you like and don't like over time. If you want to, you could experiment with things to try to find out what you like. You don't even need to label your sexuality, or figure out what it is at all if you don't want to
Experiment and have fun! You're young and that is all the beauty of life! I know friends of mine who are bi sexual and hetero romantic! Maybe that is your gig? Maybe not! That's the beauty of experimentation! Either way you'd be welcome to the club 🌈🤗
I am lesbian and gender fluid so that can get very confusing I would advise you to maybe try dating a girl or 2 and see if that's something you would like
