    I know there are about a million of these confessions on forum sites but i kinda need to get it off my chest.
    I've always known I wasn't that into girls. Any stuff I did with them was usually kinda for show ( I know how awful that sounds but I dont know how else to put it).
    Ive had sex with girls before but its never really been anything of a major turn on for me. And I find myself staring at some of the guys in my year without realising it and wondering what it'd be like to get a little closer to them.
    I dont know what to do. If I am gay I'll deal with it but its more the fact im kinda caught in the middle at the moment thtas driving me crazy. Can anybody help me or am I just being stupid??

    Aah chill out. You're not being stupid, you're going through what a lot of people go through. Gay, straight or whatever. I could write a long-winded and boring look at all the avenues open to you and where you can find advice etc., but all you really need to know is this:

    Everyone figures out who they are in the end. Until then, relax. There are more important things to worry about.

    At least that's the best thing somebody could've said to me. :)

    What do you mean by caught in the middle? If you are gay thats fine!!! and just because you are doesnt mean you need to run out and tell the whole world or anything. everybody deals with their sexuality in their own way and their own time.

    But if you are comfortable with being gay and when youre ready id suggest telling a close friend that you know would react ok about it. telling someone really does make it all seem a lot less significant (for want of a better word) than it really is

    You are what you are. Labels come later.

    Sounds like you are at the stage of getting to know yourself better. How do you do that? Go out, socialise, and have fun. Given that you are exploring whether you are gay, I'd recommend that your socialising be conducted, at least in part, in gay spaces.
