questioning my sexuality...again
So I’ve identified as gay since 7th grade when I first realized I for sure didn’t like boys at all and that I was definitely attracted to girls. Everyone knows I’m gay and I’m not in any way ashamed of it. In fact, I’m extremely open about it and most people know because I talk about girls so much. The thing is I’ve never really felt attraction to guys until recently. I never saw the appeal of hairy, muscular, dudes at all. But like I feel like that still hasn’t changed. I don’t find myself attracted to guys. But I have two guys friends (I’ve always hung out with guys and girls and most dudes just see me as “one of the boys”) Let’s call them N and E
. I’ve known E since we were like 8 and now we are still close friends and we joke around a lot. I’ve noticed that I’ve started worrying about how I look around him and I’ve started thinking about and staring at him a lot. It’s the same with N except we met this year. I didn’t like him like that until recently. I feel like I’m not into dudes in general, but more guys I’ve formed emotional connections with. With girls I’m just sexually and romantically attracted to them no matter what. With guys it’s weird. I have to really really know them and literally be like best friends with them before I start to feel any sort of romantic/sexual attraction. Recently I’ve had dreams and even fantasies about N and E. I know I like them, but for soooo long I thought I was gay and I still do think (think) I’m gay but this is the first time I’ve ever like a guy in my life. Like I’ve never once even thought about being with a guy/having sex with a guy (it’s always disgusted me). I don’t like dicks and even N and E i’d feel uncomfortable ever even being NEAR theirs😂 but honestly i do like them. Idek what’s going on. Can I still consider myself gay? Am I bi for only those two guys? Am bi in general? I’m confused asf (I’m 16 btw).
