Stop thinking of it in terms of gay and strait. As a matter of fact forget the two terms exist at all. Then just pay attention to your emotions toward everyone around you and the answer will just kind of come to you. Thats how it was for me.

Well if youre really young then maybe you just havent experienced anything with the opposite sex. And so give it time, experience different things... Its kind of hard to say whether you are gay or not if you havent had a taste of life. Once you've had fun with the opposite sex then maybe you'll see that as more pleasurable. Then after that if you still find the same sex attractive.. your bi. I dont know, Im not gay but I really do think you need to try things out before you totally say you are one or the other.

Gay and Straight are very limiting labels.  I tend to think of things on more of a continuum.  If you tend to be attracted ONLY to men romantically for lasting relationships.  Then I would consider you mostly Homosexual.  \n\nIf you are attracted ONLY to females romantically for lasting relationships I would consider you mainly Heterosexual.  \n\nAnything else,  liking to be physically sexual with men or women, being mildly attracted to men or women, somewhere in the middle.  I think most people are bisexual to a certain degree.  People just tend to lean more to the hetero or the homosexual side.

If you havent found a 'lady friend' to talk to how the hell do you know your gay? I believe 'bi-curious' is the word you should be using, darling!!\nPeaceout!!!

being straight, bisexual, or gay is normal!  pick a pattern for sexual behavior, stop worrying about the normalcy of your preference, and have a good time.  that's what sex is all about.

Just because you find another person of the same sex cute, doesn't mean you're gay. You're only gay if you know for a fact that you would never want to have sex with a girl, but instead with a guy. Don't ask us, ask yourself.

Figure which is more important, the friendship you have or the special feeling you feel about her. If friendship, you best keep it inside you(although it's really hard) It might be better for you to find out whether you're really straight or not.

DO YOU LIKE BOYS, OR DO YOU LIKE GIRLS? YOU ARE NOT GAY IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD A SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH A MALE YET. IF YOU HAVE HAD A SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH A MALE YOU STILL MAY NOT BE GAY. TAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF AND WAIT, YOU WILL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION AS SOON AS YOU GROW UP AND GET TRULY SEXUALLY ACTIVE. IF YOU HAVE BEEN CURIOUS FOR 2-1/2\nYEARS, YOU WERE TOO YOUNG TO EVEN BE WORRIED AT THAT AGE. TRY THINGS OUT WHEN YOU GET OLD ENOUGH AND MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENTS. GAY PEOPLE ARE STILL PEOPLE AND HAVE GOOD AND HAPPY LIVES, SO EITHER WAY YOU CAN FIND HAPPINESS. STOP THE WORRYING.  GOOD LUCK, YOU ARE ONLY 13.

just ask yourself do you like to look at other guys only or both guys and girls. if you think some guys are cute you could be bisexual and if thats the case it's ok just act normal and talk to a girl as if you are straight and tell her that you bi but don't put as a bad thing.

What a great question! This is something that gays and lesbians wonder all the time. Can someone tell if you are gay or not? Some people believe there is such a thing as "gaydar." Gaydar is a sixth sense that gays and lesbians have to distinguish gay or bisexual people from heterosexual people. \n\nIs gaydar for real? Some people will swear it is. Personally I think that we gays, lesbians and bisexuals develop gaydar as a type of survival intuition. We need to be able to suss out who is and who isn't gay because hitting on the wrong person could be big trouble for us! \n\nYou will find some people who are convinced they just can't tell who is and isn't gay--even ones who are gay themselves. And then there are those people who fool everyone--even the ones who think they can tell. \n\nTo answer your question: Can people tell if you are gay or not? My guess is that they just sense that there is something about you that seems open. Maybe they are just hoping you're gay. You may even be giving off signals that you are not even aware of because now you ARE open to such kind of flirtation.

I am not gay...but I have gay friends...\nWhat may lead a person to believeing they may be gay...hmmm...maybe when they catch theirself looking at others of the same sex, and thinking they are very attractive. Or just feeling attracted to one of the same sex...I guess if you were gay, sooner or later you would know it...and it would come to you naturally?

sweetie, \n\n think long and hard about it, and look at it like this: Do you like chicks? Can you see yourself with one? Would it make you happy? ok now think bout this: Do you like Boys? Can you see yourself with one? Would it make you happy? \n\nnow honestly which idea do you like better? \n\nthere are lots of support groups out there for bisexual, homosexuals and hetrosexuals, that deticate they're time from trained volunteers and peeps that have been there that would be gald to talk to you and help you figure out and be there to support you no matter what decsion you've made, always remember you have to do what your heart tells you, and always be happy and do what will make you happy, then your not failing yourself and you must remember that others are not you and they can't make the desicion for you and they shouldn't influence you, this is something you have to do on your own for yourself. \n\nso be straight, be bi, be gay, just remember most importantly be happy and be you its better in the

How to tell if you're gay: \n1. If you are over 30 and you have a washboard stomach, you are gay. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys and rather you've been sucking-off the boys and have spent the rest of your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and doing the Oprah diet. \n\n\n\n2. If you have a cat, you are a Flaaaayming gay. A cat is like a dog, but gay: it grooms itself constantly but never scratches itself, has a delicate touch except when it uses its nails, and whines to be fed. And just think about how you call a dog..."Killer, come here! I said get your butt over here!" Now think about how you call a cat... "Bun-bun, come to daddy, snookums!" Jeeezus, you're fit to be framed, you're so gay. \n\n\n\n3. If you suck on lolipops, Ring-Pops, baby-pacifiers, or any such nonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord. A straight man only sucks bar-b-q ribs, crab-claws, raw oysters, craw-fish guts, pickled pigs feet, or titties. Anything else and you are in training to suck El Dicko and undeniably gay. \n\n\n\n4. If you refuse to take a dump in a public bathroom or piss in a parking lot, you're in a deep homosexual relationship. A man's world is his bathroom, he defecates and urinates where he pleases.\n\n\n5. If you drink decaf coffee with skim milk, you like a high hard one in the poop-chute. Coffe is to be had strong, black (or with thick, wholesome milk) and full-aroma. A vagina-eating man will never be heard ordering a "Decaf Cafe Latte with Skim" and he will never, ever know what artificial sweetner tastes like. If you've had Nutrasweet in your mouth, you've had a dick there too. \n\n\n\n6. If you know more than six names of colors or four different types of dessert, you might as well be handing out free passes to your bung. A real man doesn't have memory space in his brain to remember all of that crap as well as all the names of all the players in the Major league, NFL, NBA, college ball, PGA, and Nascar. If you can pick out chartreusse or you know what a "fresier" is you're gay. And if you can name ANY type of textile other than denim, you are faggadocious! \n\n\n\n7. If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it...you hungry for meat-popsicle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to honk at a slow driver or to cut the dude off. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat his hamburger, hold his beer, finger the bi-atch in the passenger seat (whoever she happens to be), or, if he's Latino, talk on his cell-phone. \n\n\n\n8. If you enjoy romantic comedies or French films, mon-frere, vous sonnez le Gay, oui? The only time it is acceptable to watch one of those is with a woman who knows how to reward her man. Watching any of the above films by yourself or with another man is likely to result in SHC (spontaneous homosexual combustion), which is what happens to fags when they flame out too quickly.

it's really hard to tell someone's sexual preference these days, as i'm sure you know. i've never had to deal with this kind of situation before so my advice might be a lil spotty. i think you should just try and be friends with him for awhile at first and see if you can tell by just talkin to him. if that doesn't work and you feel comfortable enough then you should ask him. just be patient and see what happens. it could just turn out that he'll be a really good friend but not gay. you never know

It's not like you are actually going to see some one having intercourse with some one else to be able to determine this.\n\nHere's an interesting website that gives other people's views on determining if some one is gay or not:\n\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_17204_determine-someone-else.html
