Well, honestly, there is no standard or usual way to know if you're gay, lesbian, bi, pan, asexual or questioning. It's all in yourself :) Of course, everyone needs a little help when it's about these kinds of things but it all comes down to digging deep inside yourself and knowing who (or what) you really want :) It's all a matter of really knowing yourself and if you need help with that, I'm here. :)

Being gay or lesbian is being sexually and/or romantically attracted to the same gender(s) as you. Being bisexual is being attracted (romantically and/or sexually) both to the same gender(s) and other gender(s). There are other sexual orientations, such as pansexual. Just remember that definitions change and adapt to what people experience: above is my, shared by others, definition of bisexually, and it fits our experience.
The most important in knowing who you are, is being aware of your feelings for others. Personnally, I understood I was bi when I admitted that the feelings I had for a girl where the same I had had for boys. Some people know it from a long time, but it's ok to discover it at 20 or 40! And orientation can also change and be fluid. For some, it's very clear, for others, it's more difficult. And that's ok! Give yourself the time, choose a label if it makes you more confortable, it's ok to change later, when you understand yourself more. It's also ok not to choose a label!
Also, remember that nobody else is allowed to define you.

If you are a guy that's attracted to men only and don't think girls are your preference then you could be gay. If you're a female and only feel attracted to girls and don't feel guys are your preference then you could be a lesbian. If you feel that you like girls halfway and like guys halfway as well then it's possible you're bisexual. It all depends on what makes you happy!

You are attracted to who you are attracted to. Experiment safely with others. See what you like, dislike, find attractive, or don't. Your sexuality is all up to you.

Usually you'll just be able to tell based on how you feel about certain genders or specific people even. I found that I was bisexual because though I felt an attraction to boys I also found that I had crushes on a few of my girl peers. It's difficult at first to figure yourself out but that's what's great about it, being able to find yourself and understand who you are. No matter what anyone says it's not a choice. You are born the way you are even if you're just figuring out who you prefer. You'll be able to know if your gay, lesbian, or bisexual based on how you feel about others and how you interact with yourself and the rest of the world. If anything you'll just know at some point or another but if you're still confused just believe that you'll figure out eventually because you have all the time in the world. You are you and as long as you keep exploring different things you'll figure yourself out eventually.

It depends on who you're sexually and romantically attracted to, and if you feel like you're attracted to them enough. The process of one's self discovery is different in every person, both in path and in time. When you feel comfortable enough with yourself and who you are, you'll know.

You can just ask a close friend to test it out like kiss them and if you feel anything i guess you are either one. And if you feel the same feeling for both male and female it can be your decision if you want to be a bisexual
