I’m a man. Only ever dated, been attracted to women. Recently I met this guy and I’m having weird feelings. I can’t quite tell if I’m attracted to him as a person or just like the way he treats me; nonetheless something makes me want to treat him differently than any other guys - the way I would a girl I suppose. My friends say I might be attracted to femininity in general regardless of gender and that’s why I feel this way, and the reason why it hasn’t surfaced until now is because I haven’t yet met a guy to tick those boxes. Wondering if anyone has been through something similar.

I think that in reality, every human can relate to this post. Straight, gay, bi, asexual. You meet a person that makes you go "what the fuck is happening?".

My opinion is that it doesn't really mean (or necessarily equate) that you want to have sex with the person. For myself, I consider myself to be heterosexual although I wish I was bisexual. I do however consider myself to be biromantic, and could very well see myself in a relationship with someone of the same gender. The difference is that when I've envisioned or been close to trying the sex part, I get actually physically nautious. Not to say "gays make me sick" but, uh 😂😂 Me personally having gay sex makes me sick.
