Hello again,

Thanks for the advice everyone.

In retrospect, I should have rephrased my question about whether this makes me gay or not. If I do end up being gay, it won't be something that disappoints me, although I'm not going to say that it wouldn't be an adjustment, of course. Rather, my intent in asking this sort of question was to help myself understand my as of yet still elusive sexual identity through a potentially eye-opening situation. Sex is such a prominent part of our culture, yet also one that I just have never been able to really wrap my head around and which has caused me to feel isolated from society. Even this situation is an example of it: were it just an instance of me being attracted to someone it would be much easier for me to understand, but for some reason the answer just doesn't seem to be that simple to me. But, as Kaliope suggested, it quite possibly might have to do with the complete absence of sex in my life.

Regardless, I've got a lot of things I'll need to reflect on myself.
