Am I a lesbian, or just going through a phase?

So I've thought I was gay for a while now, but people keep saying that it's probably just hormones and I'm going through a phase. I'm not sure how to tell the difference between being gay and going through a phase, so I was wondering if to you, it sounds like I am a lesbian. I'm fifteen, by the way.

I've had a few boyfriends and one girlfriend. With the guys, the cuddling and romantic stuff felt weird and awkward to me. With the girl, it felt more comfortable, and I enjoyed it more. I only really fantasize about girls (I haven't had sex, but I only can imagine enjoying sex with a female). I admit, I do rather like David Tennant from Doctor Who, but I think it's more in a admiring way. Sort of like I want to have a conversation with him, not anything romantic. (Not that it matters. He's famous and too old for me, ahaha). I have a crush on my female friend, and the only crushes I've had on guys I know were way back in elementary school. I would rather have a lesbian relationship than a straight one.

Could this be a phase? Or do I seem to be rather gay?

Any opinions would be appreciated, but no hate please :)

You really cannot completely tell if it is a phase or not. At this moment it seems like you are gay but it might change later on. But the most important thing is that you do what is comfortable in this moment. So if you are uncomfortable with a male relationship then just don't have one. However, emotions are always changing, not to say that for sure you will not be gay in the future but just be yourself and if it is a phase then enjoy the phase and if it not a phase then it is just who you are and what makes you the most comfortable.

i'm going during a similar element! i'm additionally 14. Cool. :) in specific situations i ponder whether i'm in simple terms curious or i in my view like the two genders. My question is, have you ever been with a little one? As in a relationship or kissed somebody? we are the two at a loss for words. i think of the only thank you to make certain is to test yet how could we do this? i'm uncertain that is a sturdy theory the two. reality is time will inform you. you nevertheless have a short on a similar time as to choose and discover who you rather are. whilst the time comes you will understand your place. is probably not what you had to pay attention, yet that's the trouble-free answer. in case you come across you're a lesbian or like the two, the folk who rather care approximately you will settle for you for who you're.

In my case, I sort of always knew i was a lesbian. There was a period in my early teens where I was denying it and forcing myself to go out with boys because that was what everyone else was doing and i wanted to be like everyone else. But it felt wrong. It was nothing against the guys, I just felt out of place when I was with them.



From what you described above, it sounds like you are a lesbian.
