Firstly don't rush it if you work out what your sexuality is then great. But there is no need to rush. There are lots of resources out there for all kinds of sexualities.

Your sexuality is something that only you can figure out yourself. You could just take some time with yourself and try to think about what you really want, without worrying about what other people might think.

It may sound corny, but the answer is really inside of you. Love is a natural thing, and it occurs in all of us, and loving different people comes just as natural.

Only you get to define your sexuality, and you don't have to rush to do it. Reflection, research, and safe experimentation are useful tools in determining how you want to identify. Different methods and paths work for different people. The most important thing to remember is that there is no pressure to decide soon or permanently. You are allowed to take your time or change your mind whenever you want to.

That can be really tough! Sadly, no one can tell you exactly who you are or who you love. But, as an LGBT person, I can tell you that experimentation and a lot of deep self-reflection, along with frank conversations about my feelings really helped me work through my identity.

This is something only you can really define. It takes time and exploring to figure it out. This isn't something that you can just figure out in a day, You know yourself best. You can ask questions, ask people within the community what different terms mean. But in the end, determining what your sexuality is, is your choice.

Try going over all the evidence pointing towards different sexualitys. Do some research to help you determine which of your crushed you have had a real romantic interest in, and such. I would recommend the site www.yoursexualorientation.info for further help, but in the end, you just have to wait. Don't stress about it, and don't feel pressure to put a "correct" label on you

The only person that can answer that is you, but I can suggest that you sit down and think about it. It takes time to figure these things out, and that's perfectly okay. Take your time, there's no big rush. :)

I understand being confused about your sexuality is a very challenging thing to go through. You are questioning right now, and questioning is always good. It helps you reflect on yourself and let you to look at who you are, and I'm glad you're questioning.
Sexuality is complicated AND fluid. So there's no real way of knowing what you sexuality is. Keep your mind and heart open and free, feel free to love and experiment. You can talk to queer people, and when it gets hard, you can always reach out for help. You don't have to label yourself if you don't want to. Just love yourself, and think about yourself and what you really feel/want. It should help you discover your sexuality. And whatever it is you figure out, love yourself for it.
Thank you for reaching out to us. I hope this helped.

I am in a similar situation, and I think that it is not really critical to have a label. That said, I understand that labels are very comforting. I think that a good approach is having umbrella labels. For example, my current label is ace-spec, that is, on the asexual spectrum. Am I asexual? Demisexual? Maybe, I am not sure, and I am fine with it :) Also, it is great to realize that sexuality can change and probably will. I remember experiencing sexual attraction as a teen, but as an adult, right now, I do not. Know that regardless of what you choose (to have a label or not), you deserve to be accepted for who you are.
