people told me to think of sexuality as a scale. One side is being attracted to women and one side men. But i quickly realized that its much more complicated than that. To be honest to find your own sexuality i feel it comes in time.

Labels are so easy to give, right? But sometimes they don't fit. When they don't, we look for other ones. Guess what? It doesn't have to matter. But, if you really want a name for your attraction, try imagining arousing scenarios with people of varying genders and write down your feelings. Say it out loud: "I'm a lesbian." "I'm gay." "I'm bisexual." And so forth, all sexualities that you're hesitating between. Whatever feels right is probably the right answer. Just remember that no one but you can know. Best wishes :)

Some people judge a person's sexuality by experience, on the scale, and etc. but the one thing that really matters is that do you feel comfortable with it? I once asked myself over and over the question "Am I gay?' but I was not ready to answer it. I was seeing a counselor at the time in High School who gave me some good advice which is: Do not feel the need to rush yourself into a label, especially if it feels forced. Take your time the answer will come to you and if then you still do not want to label yourself then don't.
If you want to date a girl then do so, but if you want to date a guy do that then. You do not have to explain yourself to others if you do not want to.

There is no rush in finding out your sexuality, nor should you feel like you have to define yourself. It is totally okay to experiment in a safe, secure and trusting environment. There is no right or wrong answer!

Sexuality is a completely fluid thing. You don't have to be confined to anything, it can change, and it can be incredibly uncertain. If you are having problems with not being able to identify with a sexuality explicitly it may just not apply to you, or maybe it does. They are lose labels for helping people find a group they feel they fit comfortably in, for some people it doesn't have to be completely what they feel, just what they'd rather identify as. We don't need labels, and the labels that do exist are rough and general, so if you struggle to find one that applies to you it doesn't mean you're abnormal in any way. Keep researching and you may be able to find something that feels right There are hundreds of sexualities- which may seem daunting, but not all of them fit with everyone.

You can analyze your feelings and sensations about men and women, try to imagine yourself with different people in sexual and romantic contexts and be honest with yourself about how these fantasies really make you feel. Whatever feels good determines who you are!

Knowing your sexuality can be really quick for some and take a lot of time for others. Some people know from birth. While others grow into their sexuality. If you're a person who isn't sure, give yourself plenty of time before taking on a label for yourself.

I think, you'll experience it some day without searching for an answer. In my opinion, falling in love is not about gender, it's about the person you love.

Knowing your sexuality is something that comes with time. You may start to notice that you are attracted to more or different genders than you originally thought you were. Since sexuality is a spectrum, figuring out exactly where you fit can be tricky. Its important to listen to your body & only do the things that feel good to you.
