I'm now 39 and I've never been with a man. It's what is in your heart, your stomach, and your mind. Butterflies around girls is a great thing! Go with the flow of your body.

You might be attracted to women for a year, 10 years, or the rest of your life. The important thing is to acknowledge those feelings and feel comfortable with them. It sounds like you're doing all the right things - thinking about it, talking about it (Even if people aren't that receptive yet), and exploring your sexuality. My advice would be to stay relaxed about it, see if there are any groups in your area for young LBGT people, look online for forums etc, and just let things happen. As long as you're open to all the possibilities of who you are, you'll find your way! Also, although it's crap for you, I think it's natural for older people to suspect it of being a phase - it's definitely not helpful or understanding or necessarily correct! - but a lot of girls do have crushes on women and then go on to be happily straight. You should ask them to not be so dismissive of your feelings, because - whether or not they last forever - they are real, and important to you. good luck! x There’s no need to second guess yourself.
