Well, I'm bisexual; and it feels like... being me, I guess.  I know a lot of people are like, "yuk, how could you like a GUY" but then, women like guys, dont' they?  \n\nWe like to put people into categories but really, we're all individuals.  I'd guess you're having feelings for a person of the same sex.  What that means is, that you have feelings for that person.  But if all your sexual feelings are for people of your own gender then you are gay, and you'll be much happier in life if you accept who you are.\n\nBeing gay doesn't mean you have to be promiscuous.  If you beleive in love, find someone to love!  If you like women, though, you shouldnt hook up with a man, any more than it would make sense for a straight guy who's repulsed by fat women to marry a fat woman.

I'm not gay but I'm sure if anyone was gay they probably chose to be gay so they like being gay

That is such a stereotypical answer. Acts like a girl... Not every gay guy is feminine... For every type of straight guy, there is a gay guy. Gay guys like sports, drink beer, are outsdoorsmen too. Yes there are those who like theatre, are creative, but there are straight guys like that too....\n\nThere isn't a science to knowing if someone is gay. I would suggest if its someone you are close to, let them come to you with that information... You might want to give signals that you are okay with it. So they feel comfortable. It is a very scary thing, coming out!!!\n\n\n... just a FYI, if a guy likes to dress in womens clothing it means hes a cross dresser, not nessissarly gay. Those making these statements about gay guys acting like a girl, do you personally know a guy who is gay?????

He tells you he is guy or gay.. whatever he meant... what are you supposed to say? \n\n"I'm gay"... "well good for you!"\n\nIf he just says he's gay... ask him if he has a question about it, or ask him why he's telling you out of nowhere.

Sounds like you just did come out of the closet. By posting your question, you announced to the whole world that you're gay. :)

I hope I am not as sarcastic as some others on here and I hope to give you a little insite.  People often find themselves attracted to people of the opposite sex.  It doesn't necessarily mean you are gay. Regretfully it doesnt mean that you aren't either. It is common (especially with teenagers) to have some doubt about your sexual identity.  I think it best to be who are and not let other people label you.  The real you will shine out in the end.

I don't believe that it makes you gay. But, it also depends on what your definition of Gay is.  I do believe that you have homosexual tendencies.  That means that you may not be actually having sex with or being sexually intimate with men right now.  But, if the right situation presents itself, you may become involved with a man sexually.  Now, whether you will just like guys then or not, I don't know.  However, anything is possible with anything.  Just take you time and find out what makes you feel good as a person and what makes you feel good intimately and that will be your answer.  Don't worry about the label too much.

Telling someone that you're gay can really help a lot, just because you don't have to carry around your secret all by yourself anymore. Probably the best person to tell that you're gay is a female friend, since they will likely have less problems with it than a male friend. If you're gay, chances are that you'll have more girl friends than guy friends. However, pick carefully! Don't tell it to someone that you've had a fight with recently or that you're not totally comfortable with them knowing. Think about whether this person could use the information to get back at you for something. It's your choice and depends on your family, but maybe you want to tell your parents. However, if you think that they'd react badly and still depend on them, give this some thought. Parents can react better or worse than you'd imagine. Another option might be a sister, if you have one. Be very careful before telling people at work or school. And before telling anyone, ask yourself: a) Is this person a religious fanatic who would be violently opposed to gays and set me on fire with kerosene? (If so, not a good choice) b) Would this person use me as their 'gay friend' to go shopping and get fashion advice? (If so, and this might be surprising, also not a good choice. You need a friend that will love you for you, not for your gayness). The people you tell should be people that will just say 'okay' and you can move on with your lives and you can feel better about it.

I'M NOT GOOD AT THIS BUT I WILL TRY TO HELP YOU OUT...WHEN YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP (if you are) WITH A GAY, HOW DO YOU FEEL?ARE YOU HAPPY?CONTENTED?SECURE?YOU NEED TO WEIGHT THINGS OUT, HOW HIGH IS YOU LEVEL OF HAPPINESS. \nand when you are in a realatonship with a opposite sex, how do you score yourself when it comes to commitment, happiness, security etc.\nIf you feel you are more comfortable with living with the opposite sex then by all means convince yourself to divert your attention to the opposite sex. \nall you need to do is to assess yourself what you really like, what makes you happy...the important thing here to consider is HAPPINESS- YOUR OWN HAPPINESS.If you think you're more happy to be with a gay (anyway, some gays do share deep feelings not just sex- just find the person) then go for it, If you think you're more happy to share your life with the opposite sex (other women too just want sex,sex and sex again) then open your eyes and your heart and start looking.\nGood luck...I hope I helped you in a little way.

I don't know why I'm gay. I don't remember being given a choice. Perhaps you could tell me when you chose to be straight?

Several of those before me have pretty much covered and validated your feelings toward the "same sex" and not much more I can add to that.\n\nPerhaps the "better" question that was NOT asked is "is it normal to become aware of these feelings at this stage in your life?"  Today most gay people come out or become aware of their identity in their teens or twenties.  However it is not unusual for men in their 40s, 50s or older finally recognizing what these feelings are.  Many have suppressed these feelings that they have refused to label as "gay" or didn't recognize as such.  But over time as you become aware that these feelings aren't some aberration that is unique to you.  You become aware that having these feelings may be a valid part of who you are today.\n\nWe all have our own clocks telling us when its the right time to come out and recognize this part of our life.  Yours just was pushed back a bit more than some, and that is NOT unusual, that's just how you were wired.\n\nI suggest you do some reading on this, check out web sites about "coming out" or go to a bookstore like Borders, or Barnes and Noble and look in the Gay and Lesbian interest section.  You'll see that you aren't the first, and certainly won't be the last to have these feelings.

I don't hate anyone who is gay.  Who am I to judge anyone when I'm not perfect myself. ( I think everyone should feel this way )

I cannot tell a handsome man from one that isn't. I feel rejection to the very idea of me with another man (which does not mean I feel rejection to those men who do have sex with other men, just to the idea of me in that situation). I have never fallen in love with a man or boy. And I am never aroused with men. Plus, I have an education which I'm sure would not make me repress it, if I were gay. So, I guess I am physically unable to feel any homosexual drive, which is a bad thing, since it would double my chances if I weren't so picky, and looking always for women.

There really isn't any way to know for sure..  \nMost of the time we kinda have an idea if someone is gay but there are some individuals that are very good at hiding their "tendencies".    You should try to become their friend, strike up a conversation about a book, movie, the weekend coming up, etc, etc--  Try to get to know them as a person.   There are many people out there, specially in H.S. that just because they don't like a person, rumors/lies are made up!! I'm pretty sure u have heard some rumors about yourself that you know are just lies!!!  So don't believe everything u hear.
