Question
I think that I may have an attraction to guys, one guy really but I have this girlfriend. But we are not really going out with each other. Every time I look into her eyes I wanna kiss her and be with her forever but with the guy it's almost the same but not as powerful a feeling as with the girl, but I'm confused. Can I really like a guy and a girl?
Answer
Yes, you can really be attracted to both a guy and a girl. Many young people your age are just trying to figure out what their sexual feelings are all about and who attracts them. Give yourself some time to experience some relationships so that you can understand your feelings better. If you are more troubled by these feelings, it may be a good idea to talk with a counselor who could help you sort out your feelings.
