Being attracted to women is a natural thing. I think all of us at some point in our life are attracted to someone of the same sex to some extent. It's just a matter of whether or not it carries on for the rest of your life and how intense the feelings are. Especially since you say you are attracted only sexually, that makes me think that you may just be simply fantasizing about women, but it doesn't neccsarily make you a lesbian or bisexual. Could you see yourself in a ROMANTIC relationship with women? That's the big question. If the answer is yes, then think about it further, but don't make it a big issue. If you're with a man you truly love, don't let this affect it. (especially if it's only sexual or physical attraction) And lastly, if you truly are lesbian or bisexual in the end, DO NOT FEEL GUILTY. There is absolutely nothing wrong at all with having feelings towards someone of the same sex. It shouldn't be a fear. At all. Be proud of who you are. Always remember that Smile Good luck and hope this helped

If being with a man was really that painful, maybe men aren't for you. Don't force yourself to be with a man if you don't feel comfortable with them. Now that you say you could date a girl romantically, that's taking a step further. Test it out a bit. If you find yourself liking a certain woman ( or even that woman you had dinner with), ask her out again. If she's bisexual or a lesbian as well, you two could try to seriously date and see how you feel with that. Do whatever you feel is right, but always be proud of your sexuality Smile
