Confusion around sexuality

I wasn’t sure what thread to put this under as I haven’t used the website on here in a while. I’ve been questioning my sexuality, I’m a  21 year old female and i haven’t dated properly but i find myself drawn to the same sex.

The problem is I can’t tell if I’m attracted to the opposite sex or due to the fact it’s difficult for me to identity what emotions I’m feeling, i just convince myself i am. 

I am not so sure how to approach this issue.

  • I don't know the answer, I've never had any doubt, but all I can think of is who would you most like to hold close.

    If you can't identify the emotions, you could consider physiological or subconscious responses, these bypass the thinking. Things like flushed face, quickening heart rate, pupils dilated, playing with hair, arousal, you can look up what they are. This may give you an indication.

    You may not feel much if you need to know the person first.
