soo it seems like ive got a boyfriend idk

but like he made out with me and ish and since idk anything about it im not really comfortable with it to a certain level and also im asexual and not really into that

and so like i dont want him to think i dont like him but like i cant be as affectionate as him + i have asperger (both of us do, asperger school) and i have a big problem with people toucing me, like hugging me holding me, like im okay if i know them but if not i get a panic attack

i really just had to went im sorry im just having a hard time with it

and also, how do i bring up to him that im not comfortable with him using the word girlfriend...?

If you're not comfortable then tell him to stop touching/kissing you I know it's kinda hard but your comfort is more important , also sorry but why is he calling you his gf if he didn't officially ask you out ? Is it bc you made out ?

Hello , I'm new here and it's nice to read forums like this since I can't talk about these things openly in my society, anyway for my sexual orientation i'm still questioning like most of past crushes were boys and i've only dated boys but lately I really like checking out girls and I like reading girlxgirl fanfics/movies/series more than the heterosexual ones I thought It was nothing serious at first but i'm more worried about it now...can someone give me advices please ?

welcome here, I would say just go with the flow,

being more interested in Yuri fanfics/movies/series doesn't mean that you're queer

but don't be close to the idea and if you ever have the opportunity maybe try experimenting with a girl

and see how it goes.

Thank you for answering , I guess i'll have to wait until I fall in love ( since I never did in the past) and see how it goes.

I need help with all the lesbians out there
My friend wants to come out to her parents but they're really strange about homosexuality can someone help ! I want to tell her that it's gonna be okay but mine didn't reacted well at all...

How are they strange about homosexuality ? Explain more.
I think that if she's sure about it and want to reveal who she's attracted to then let her come out , you're her friend so it's okay to feel unsure but they are her parents after all and she probably knows them more than you do.

They suspect her to be lesbian and her mother makes comments like "Homosexual shiuldn't be pround of being different" " lesbians are just straight girls who wants to have attention" and they use the f word but her father sometimes agree with her mother and other times he says that they're nothing wrong with it
You're right

Hm..in that case it's better if she doesn't tell them tbh especially since they're saying those things after suspecting her..talk more with her , coming out is one of the hardest things she should think a lot about it. Edited May 14, 2016 by YxH

You're welcome! :) And yeah, I can kind of understand you since I have gone through more or less the same conflicts. I told my mom (with bad results), but even then I feel better with myself after everything. I hope it gets better for you!

I also have a dilemma with something that is confusing me. I have known my best friend since we were 12 yo, and I have always seen her as a great (thought not so much lately because of some 'ideological' conflicts between us) friend. However, today, when we were at our school's talent show, and I was waiting with her for her mom to pick her up, we were supporting our heads on a table there, so our faces were very close. I don't know why but at one moment when our faces were the closest, I felt the desire to kiss her, and it kind of freaked me out.

I have felt this about her before, specially at moments when we are physically close, but I always shook it off, even more now that she has been acting in a way that annoys and angers me.

Do I like her? Or am I just curious about kissing another girl (since I've never had a gf)?

I also must add that she is the best friend that I've talked before in this thread. She is super religious.

I don't think you like her , you're probably just curious , I once felt the same way about my best friend and it was only because she's extremely touchy and all with me it made me curious not because I like her..so maybe the fact that you were very close made you want to kiss her ?

I've been wondering, does anyone else sometimes feel like they're not really gay (or bi) and faking their sexuality? Sorry if I'm phrasing myself badly. But lately I've been getting those "what if" questions, albeit I'm sure of my attraction towards the same sex, I keep thinking that way.
