Q: I am having trouble figuring out if I am gay or straight. The last time I dated a girl, I had absolutely no connection between us, and that has been happening for a while when I date girls. I also have feelings for male friends I can’t understand. Please help!
A: Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon for one to question their sexuality at some point. While we cannot tell you whether you are straight or gay, there are a few things you may want to take into consideration.
First of all, sexuality is not black and white. You do not necessarily have to choose between gay or straight. There are other identities, such as bisexual or queer, to consider. Perhaps you have an attraction to boys and girls.
Additionally, you may not have connected with the last girl you dated for several reasons, beyond just your sexuality. The feelings you have for your male friends may be sexual, or they may not be. You may want to try exploring these feelings in order to determine whether they are sexual, or not. Most people experiment with people of both sexes at some point in their lives before they become secure in their sexual identity. Given some time to think about your attractions, it should help you figure out what you would like for now.
