Attracted to the opposite sex?

I've always been a little "confused" and maybe the fact that I'm posting this should be a big sign to me...

But I wondered if anyone could tell me how you "knew". Like actually knew rather than just crushes.

Do you mean "same sex"?
I'm not sure people usually have to come to terms with their heterosexualily.

Oh I hadn't realised I wrote that 🙈 yes I meant same sex.

Can you tell how confused my mind is. No idea how to edit my post

I didn't know until after I'd kissed another a girl and realised that what I was feeling was a crush rather than just strong friendship. I remember feeling like oh so this is what's been going on here...

It was so confusing because it felt different to how crushes on boys had felt but another friend said that could be because there's the element of shame/fear that it's not right that I didn't have with boys.

It's taken me years to accept I like both and not fret over it.

You can fancy both! It's ok and alot of people do.

Fl0w3r · 03/02/2019 13:38

I think I do fancy both if I'm honest.

Thank you for your kind replies.

I think you're right, growing up in a Christian environment it's very much about shaming thoughts.

I was in my 30s when l was beautifully and delicously seduced by another woman. It took my by surprise and was passion overdrive. She was my first but not my last.

I don’t subscribe to bi/hetro labels. I just see myself as “sexual”.
