Best Of

Hi @mistyinthesky I'd just like to say well done for reaching out to the community as it can be scary posting on here at first. It sounds like you are discovering what you like in a partner whether it be boys or girls and that is perfectly normal. From what you have said it seems you are more interested in pursuing something with a girl and can envision a future with them, whereas with a boy it sounds like you're more unsure. At this stage it's entirely okay because it is all about self- discovery. I would suggest exploring how you feel and if you feel a connection then pursue it! Remember don't feel like you have to fit a label to fit society's standards. Love is a spectrum so you may not be entirely one nor the other- that's what makes it so fun and exciting.

At the same time, I can understand your feelings of frustration hearing your friends talk about their heterosexual relationships because it is more widely talked about in society. However, don't let that discourage you from finding someone. Finding someone can be difficult especially when you have to consider whether the girl shares similar feelings, but there is no rush with this and take your time until you're ready to come out to those around you. Often we find that special someone when we're not even looking, so I can assure you love will find your way.

I hope this reassured you some what. Let us know how you get on- we are always here if you need someone to talk to
