So, I know that i "like boys." But, I feel attracted to girls. Not just the innocent little "girl crush." I understand that coming out as bisexual or gay or anything else isnt easy, and trying to have people understand isnt easy, but isnt knowing that you're bisexual or gay supposed to be easy? I'm kind of questioning right now, but girls and guys are something that i'm both attracted to, i guess. I'm at a young age right now, so maybe the hormones are messing me up....I don't know...So, if you guys could give me some insight (if you can, i feel like this is a difficult thing to discuss, since it is my own confused thoughts on my sexuality) that would be really great. Thanks

Oh hell no! I have never heard anyone who said "knowing who I like is easy" unless they're straight as a board. Because most people grow up knowing "boys like girls and girls like boys" I never received any education on homosexuality until I started having girl crushes and guess what, I dated girls all through high school and now I'm straight as a board again!
Thanks for this!

Yeah…I'm in my mid-twenties and I've never really figured out what my sexuality is (mainly because I've never dated) and I doubt I'll ever know. My momentary preferences seem to change somewhat…like right now I'm more interested in the "opposite gender"…I say that with quotes as I don't really know what gender even is, I'm just going by opposite by saying someone who has a physical body less familiar to me.

So you're less confused than me it seems…could be wrong, but at least you're not alone.
Thanks for this!

I wouldn't worry about a label. I'd worry about being happy and whatever form that takes is okay for you.

^ This.

Sexuality isn't usually black or white, but runs on a sliding scale. I'm pretty much straight as a board (as DrSkipper says). But take my wife, she's a "little bit" bisexual. She likes watching two women have sex, but isn't interested enough to ever actually have sex with another woman.

What I'm saying is that Angel is correct because if you try to fit yourself into a nice neat category, you'll just get frustrated and more confused. Better to just be happy with whatever comes along.
Thanks for this!
