I'm in high school, and as it's still early in my life, I suppose a lot of confusion is to be expected. My school, fortunately, has an exceptionally accepting community and I have several very close straight, bisexual and lesbian friends. My lesbian friends are openly dating and have no bullying issues and I'm really happy for them.

As a younger child, I wasn't really introduced to these kind of things, but I grew up to accept and support it. Eventually, I started questioning my own sexuality. At first, I thought that maybe I was bisexual - I almost hoped I was, because I really liked the thought of being attracted to people regardless of their sex, but I came to realize that I just wasn't attracted to other women. Of course, I then thought I must be straight, but I started to question that as well...

I don't think I feel sexual attractions to either gender, which I think would make me asexual, but I've never met an asexual person before and I have no idea what that would really mean. The bigger catch is that I think I still feel strong emotional connections and possibly desire romantic relationships with people, but not sexual ones.

My biggest concern is that if I do end up in a serious relationship with a person (that will most likely not be asexual, as most aren't), how could I still give them everything they need? It seriously worries me to the point where I don't think that I want to be in a relationship even though I still love people. Does any of this even make sense? What are possible solutions for me? How should I cope with this?
