You can tell by noticing how you view and think about the gender in question. Are they attractive? Do they stimulate you? Would you prefer that gender over the opposite?

The question to ask yourself is: would I be comfortable with dating men? Women? Both? Another thing to think about: There are many more genders other than just male and female! to be attracted to anyone no matter what their sexuality or gender is to be pansexual.

You'll know when you know don't feel forced to decide. But make sure you are happy with your choice

There is no rush to force this realisation, when the time is right, you will usually just feel like you know, but until then don't worry over your sexuality, the right time will come for you to address how you feel :) stay strong!

There are so many different ways to find your way and discover your sexuality. I think the most important first step is not putting pressure on yourself to immediately find a label. Labels are entirely okay, and often allow for amazing and supportive communities to form. However, trying to frame your sexuality in a certain way to fit a label isn't the only way to experience it. It's OKAY to not be sure. And it's more than okay to explore your sexuality in healthy, constructive, and respectful ways. No matter what your journey with sexuality is, know that you are not alone. There are others who are questioning in the same way you are.

At some point you start noticing how you feel about certain things. It happens slow but than all at once. One day you may be searching the internet and see a label that might match how you feel.

Think with your heart! Think about whether or not you'd want to be in a relationship with certain sexes, or both. Then analyze your feelings towards whoever you thought about, and maybe take the opportunity to experiment with whoever your heart brings you towards!

Do you feel sexual attraction towards people of the same gender as yourself? Then you might be gay or lesbian! Or if you like for example both boys and girls, then you might be bisexual.

You just know in one point in your life. Do you feel attracted to people in the same gender as you? If yes, there's a chance you're maybe bisexuall, gay or lesbian.

You just have to figure it out yourself. Look at blogs or poems or songs about the MOGAI/LGBTQ+ community, it all comes from knowing yourself and also being comfortable with yourself, and in some cases overcoming internalized homophobia.
