That realization is a process that happens naturally, but you can try and ask yourself the following questions: - Throughout my life, have I felt attracted to males, females or another gender more often? - When I picture my future, what gender would I be happiest sharing a life with? - Which gender do I feel more comfortable around? - Which gender makes me feel a more intense emotional connection? These questions can help you understand your sexual orientation better, but they don't necessarily dictate it. You might realize you're equally attracted to both/all genders, or you might find you have a preference. Don't be afraid to experiment and always respect your identity. Best wishes for you :)

I believe you can tell what gender prefer by how comfortable you feel with that gender. Do you feel nervous around men? Do you feel more yourself when you are with a woman? Does a man make you feel secure?

Why is there a need to define yourself, or limit you attraction? You are who you are, and you are that way for a reason! Just go through life, liking who you like, and loving who you love regardless of the barriers of society. That will lead to happiness!

You can try to imagine yourself with different people of different genders and see how that makes you feel. You can analyze your emotional and physical responses to fantasies, that will help you determining if you attracted to one specific gender or maybe more. Remember to focus on how you feel and not think of what other people would say. It's all about you!

Everyone's process is different. Not everyone's gender preference is forever, either. Some people have a steady sexual orientation that lasts a lifetime. Others are more fluid, with changes over time. Still others react specifically to specific people. If you're curious about who you prefer, stay curious, and see what happens and who you react to. You'll find your answer.

It may be tricky at first to figure out which gender you prefer, but you are not alone. Remember only you can decide which gender you like and any decision is perfectly okay. You are perfectly normal if you tend to like boys, girls, neither, both, or any genders.

Be honest with yourself. When you look at a girl, kiss a girl do you have feelings for them? When you look at a guy, kiss a guy do you have feelings for them? You can tell yourself what you want to hear but I promise your heart won't lie to you

You are the expert on you! It's what you feel in your heart and soul- and if you find that you like them both, then there are other labels- such as gender fluid.

What I learned is best is researching all the possibilities and when you do, find out which on you relate to/you seem more like.

It is based on your own personal preference. Understanding your sexual orientation can be rather confusing due to society discriminating against those who are different. Be yourself and choose what you like.
