Also, I don't plan on seeking male companions as I'm not romantically attracted to males. It's a bit hard to explain. If we were to use a scale, I'd be 90-95% straight and about 10-5% gay. My parents don't know about it because I find it a bit harder to explain rather than saying bisexual or gay, but they're wicked liberal so I'm not afraid of their reaction.

I'm pretty sure that before I hit puberty, I was attracted to my own female cousin who is very beautiful.

I only realised that strong attraction many years later was 'unnatural', that is, considering she was my own cousin and the same gender as me. <br /> <br />I've been attracted to more males than females after hitting puberty, but somehow the idea of getting into a relationship with a male kind of scares me. Especially the touchy-freely part that many males tend to exhibit... really irks me. I'm quite sensitive to touch; even hugs, handshakes etcs are very awkward and feels very wrong for me. <br /> <br />I'm still attracted to males though, especially anime guys, which I know sounds sad. Oh well. <br /> <br />I admit that I prefer girls who look like boys but have the sensitivity of a girl, or those girly girly ones who are very feminine but not whiny and preppy. Lol, basically both extreme ends of the 'spectrum', if you get my drift. <br /> <br />On a side note, right now I'm quite fond of GL, but don't like BL / yaoi. I don't have anything against homosexuality though, just a personal preference. <br /> <br />tl;dr, I'm bi-curious, maybe, and definitely confused. Haven't dated anyone before, and not going to do it anytime soon. *shrug* Education is my main priority now.

Given that I liked both sexes, I was more or less forced into making a decision of pursuing straight relationships and being accepted by all the key people in my life or pursuing gay relationships and being made an outcast by those same people. At least I had some choice in the matter and made the decision that I felt was best for my life.

Like thinking I'm attracted to them or trying to flirt with them when I'm just being friendly. I have no romantic attraction to males. Nor do I have any express desire to sleep with one. I still find myself somewhat attracted to men sexually, but it's so slight that I wouldn't pursue a relationship of any kind with one. I know it's not really a phase and that I've been like this since I first hit puberty. I used to be homophobic and my psychologist and my mom noted that I was emotionally confused in respect to orientation in my early teens. It's taken me a while to accept it, but I have. And I have done research just to figure out precisely what to call myself. Bicurious seems to be the best term while heteroflexible may also apply. <br /> <br />I am however, quite attracted to females, but I'm not preoccuppied with getting a girlfriend. I am a bit afraid of such relationships. And as I want to do field research as a Marine Biologist, relationships would potentially be a hinderance. I don't care if I go my whole life without a woman. I still feel awkward when talking to girls my age, particularly the ones I like.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
