Its easy to worry about putting labels on yourself when you're feeling confused, but the most important thing is to remember is to enjoy the ride.
Puberty happens, and it's that time when your hormones change when you start noticing both men and women. It doesn't mean it has anything to do with your orientation, but you may find that you may start looking at women, comparing them to yourself, and find a bit of attraction to them. What is it about this girl that
you like? Does she remind you of yourself or who you want to be?
In high school, I started questioning myself at 14 and juggled between being straight, bi, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and then now at 19 when I'm finally settled with being pansexual, I realize I have no interest in having sex with women, though I have preferred women all through high school and dated and made out with women. I do believe I prefer both men and women, but now I'm more interested in men than women.
Some people can settle in their orientation quickly, though some, like me, can take years to figure out. Don't be afraid to test the waters and date women. You may find that the answer surprises you, but for now don't attempt to claim to be anything you're not sure of. Hope this helps.
