gay/lesbian is a preference to one gender while bisexual is being open to both if not more gender types.

You feel it in your emotions, its something personal to you and in time you may realise it there isn't really a way to know if you are its just what you feel either towards someone or a gender.

You will know your sexuality when you see the person(s) you get butterflies with. If you think you may be gay or lesbian or even bisexual and have any questions just ask. Anyone would love to listen.

I guess there is no definitive way of finding out. But over some time you can tell, and feel. Who are you attracted to? Who do you think about? How do you see your future? Think about this over some time? You can never define yourself, and never in one single day. Think about it, and talk to me about it :)

Well , according to me, you're gay if you look at a male and feel some sort or attraction to him. You're lesbian if you feel some attraction towards females. You're bisexual if you feel equal attractions to both females and males.

You'll start to feel an attraction to the opposite sex or gender. you might fall for them, you might fall in love or a simple crush or you'll find them attractive

Well, depending on your gender, that would determine gay vs lesbian. Someone who is a girl and is attracted to girls is a lesbian. Someone who is a boy and is attracted to boys is gay. Someone who is bisexual is attracted to both boys and girls.

I have been in a pretty similar position to yours, it took me nearly four years to understand my sexuality. I come from a very conservative family where if two people kiss on the TV I am still told to cover my eyes. I didn't even think of sexuality because I had been raised so carefully not to think about it. So when it finally came to answering all of these scary questions I was nearly panicking, I didn't know if I was gay, or bi, or something else completely. The thing that made all the difference for me, was slowing down and giving myself the time to sort through all my issues at my speed. And that is the best thing I can recommend, give yourself time to work it out. If someone had told me four years ago that I was gay then I would have probably gone into denial all over again. You will get there
