Over the past few years I've had both female and male crushes. But, really, I think I've figured out that I only want a romantic relationship with girls. With guys, even though they're cool and all I cant imagine myself being romantically in love with one, like living together etc.
Why would I feel this way?
A weird question about sexuality

Re: A weird question about sexuality
Hi BeepBoop,
The simple answer to why you feel this was is that sexual orientation is way more complex and varied that a lot of us assume. It's also common for people who are attracted to multiple genders to not feel the exact same way about each gender. Heather offers a really good explanation of that here: https://www.scarleteen.com/article/advi ... _and_women.
Too, as we go through life, we may get information about our patterns of attraction that helps us see our sexual orientation in a new light. It sounds like that might be what's happening for you, and that's totally okay!
Does all that make sense?

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
