Well sexuality is very fluid you just have to go with your gut and if one day you find yourself attracted to the same sex then so be it. Things don't need clear labeling until you're sure.

Gay and lesbian are essentially the same thing. In my experience gay is more refered to for males and lesbian for females. If you were gay it would mean you have a strong attraction to the same gender and prefer romantic or sexual encounters with your own gender. If you're bisexual you are attracted to both genders equally and don't necessarily have a preference or stronger attraction to one over the other

It's something very internal, not controlled by the external world. You have to look inside yourself and see what you feel and feel what you believe to be true.

It's in the inside. You cannot look at you in the mirror and say "I want to be gay". It's not a choice. It's who you are and who you love.

Here are some quick tests that may help you work out which gender(s) you're attracted to: 1) Go outside to a busy area, to a gym, or look at pictures of celebrities. Which people are your eyes most drawn to? 2)Think about the people at school/work/your social circle. Which of them do you feel most shy about interacting with?

I knew I was a lesbian whenever I had more thoughts about girls than guys. Its something you just know. Yes , I would think guys were cute but whenever I saw a girl it would an attraction if I found her attractive.

You are the world's leading expert on you. In the end, whichever label you identify with, you love who you love. Your feelings are human, and as such don't fit into conveniently distinct shiny little boxes, and what's more, they are fluid and so are susceptible to change. Choosing a label can help you to affirm your identity and find your place in a community, and can help convey to others who you might be into, but you're are so much more than that label so don't worry too much if it doesn't all make sense, right away or ever.

If you feel attracted to the same gender, you could still be 'straight'. It would just me you have same sex attraction, like thinking a girl is beautiful. However, if you feel this romantically more than once, and still like the opposite sex, you could be bisexual. If you are a girl and you find that you do not have romantic interests in boys, you could be lesbian. The same goes for boys.

It is about how you feel about yourself, of what do you love or what do you want to do in your life
