attraction

I want to start by answering your question about whether it's normal or common for bisexual people to doubt their orientation, because it's something I've seen often, both in my experience as a volunteer here at Scarleteen and as a person with a lot of bisexual friends and acquaintances. I'm not...

There are a lot of binary ideas and definitions happening in your questions. By that, I mean you're viewing things as only having two possible options, when really there are more than that. Let's tackle the question with the simplest answer first. If you like a trans guy, then you like guys, because...

I'll answer your last question first, since it has an easy answer: no, you aren't too old to be waiting to feel attraction to someone. There isn't an age that's "too old" when it comes to feeling attraction; even if there was, sixteen wouldn't be it! People can experience attraction in vastly...

What to do, and what to avoid like the plague, when you're crushing on someone hard.

Identity can be such an obnoxious creature sometimes. Just when you think you've got it all sorted out, some new evidence pops up and you have to rethink things. And I don't need to tell you how frustrating that shift can be, because you're in the middle of it. It can be doubly trying if you've...
