Your sexuality is something that you discover and experience until you know what you like and what you don't. You shouldn't worry about labeling yourself or putting any pressure into defining it. And about how you know, you just do, you'll know.

I can honestly say, that finding out if you are straight, bi, or gay is the hardest question to answer in your lifetime. I myself have just came to terms that I am bisexual, because I can fall in love with a man or a woman. If you are gay the thought of dating the opposite gender wouldn't appeal to you, even though you may date the opposite gender while closeted. If you are straight, you either know you want the opposite sex, or you are a little bi-curious, but could never end up with the same Sex. Don't let anyone around you define who you are. If you like both sexes, you are normal. If you like the same sex, you are normal. If you like the opposite sex, you are normal. It's all love, follow your HEART.

Your sexual orientation is who you are sexually attracted to. If you're a guy sexually attracted to other males, you would be considered gay. If you're a girl sexually attracted to girls, lesbian. And if you're attracted to both, bisexual. This however is different from your romantic orientation, which is essentially the same thing, but who you're romantically interested in.

The truth is it's different for everyone. The words we use seem binary in their meaning, yet sexuality is a spectrum. Really it is whatever you make of it. Whatever you "want". That really is the freedom of being you. You are an individual and you will just know. It is fine to safely experiment with people you trust (love) if you feel ready.

In my experience, You just know. I've known since I was 8 like I was bisexual. If you have intense feelings for one gender of for both and you know that they are genuine then you just go from there. But labels aren't important.

First you have to ask yourself are you ready to go down that road do you really want to know that anwser if your answer is no don't even finish reading if the answer is yes then you have to think are emotionally AND physically attractive to the opposite and/or both genders if you are then the last test would be to try to have a relationship with someone and find out

You'd know in the same way that you would know if you were straight! If you feel a physical, sexual, and/or romantic attraction to guys, girls, or both, then you find out whether you are gay, lesbian, or bisexual! Trust me, though, it takes many people a LOT of time to strictly figure out what they are, so don't fret! Allow life to take its course and give it some time to really develop your understanding of your sexuality and your attractions :)
