    That’s an interesting question you pose. Usually it comes from a disappointed family member who’s trying to convince you that maybe you’re not really gay if you haven’t had a same-sex relationship. I always thought men were attractive, and I still do, but the distinction for me is that I have no interest in having a sexual relationship with them. I still get the angry guys telling me I would be straight if I had a night with them or that I just need the right man, but I’ve already found the right woman. “Attraction” is a tricky thing. You can be attracted to a lot of different people, but what you do about it is a tough question. I know many gays who, when they first came to terms with their sexuality, thought they were bisexual, just like I did, but then I realized more and more that I was far more attracted to women, and that outweighed any feeling I had toward men. I love men, I just don’t “love” men! You are still young. Don’t panic about needing to know exactly who you are right now. I was 16 when I had my first girlfriend. It was a total secret, and she even continued to see guys because she was afraid of what people would think. Even after all that, it still took me six years after my relationship ended to admit to myself that I was gay. Things will start to come into perspective little by little. Hang in there!
