[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've grown up thinking that I was straight, you know, liking guys. But then I started having feelings for this girl who I'm friends with, and now I'm really confused. Thinking back on it, I've only had a few crushes about 3 or 4 people in the past (not counting the girl now). I usually don't find random guys attractive, but I've started finding more girls attractive.

However, here's the thing, I know I'm not lesbian, and I'm pretty sure I'm not bisexual. In addition, the other day my friend and I were talking about this, and she thinks that I'm demisexual. (Which means that you only feel sexually attracted to a person once you've formed a bond with them). The only issue is, my friend explained it a little differently: that you grow up thinking you're straight, and are not looking for relationships/craving them. And also the blanket definition. This sounded like me, but I feel like (after watching several youtube videos) that it may not be me.

So lately I've been pretty confused, and I don't know what to do.

Also I think the girl I like might be straight, but I don't know how to ask her.

If anyone can help me (primarily with the first issue), and maybe give me ideas or feedback, I would appreciate it. I'm just really confused an I could use the support.  [/quote]

I didn't really like anyone in my neighborhood or school, though by HS dated a guy in my circle of track friends. no sparks though. 
College was way better. I think I was didn't have the interesting guys or maturity in my (non DMV area) MS or HS.

13 is young, don't worry. you do not need to be dating at all. try again in a couple years and just study, develop your interests and pick some cool colleges you'd love to go to. Many of your best friends a significant others will be once you are at college and beyond. Not fishbowl MS and HS. And the private school around here are even smaller class grade sizes...[/quote]
