    I have most recently identified as pansexual, but thinking about it and experimenting with attractions I realized that I don't really have a sexual desire for people of my same sex, but I definitely do with the opposite sex. I have had crushes on girls (and people with any sexual identity) before and I feel urges to kiss, cuddle with, or be romantic with them; but I am almost 100% sure I don't want to go further. I haven't been sexual (besides kissing) with either sex before, but I have kissed both and had urges to do so again. I'm not really sure what this means, or if I should act on romantic urges alone with the same sex, because they may be offended if I don't want to go further (if they prefer the same sex) or may be weirded out if I just want to act romantically (if they prefer the opposite sex). Any suggestions about what is happening? :confused:

    Labels are bad. Why label yourself?

    Anyway, to go technical: Biromantic/Panromantic, Heterosexual.

    In a nutshell, you have romantic desires for both sexes but only have sexual ones for the opposite sex.

    Thanks, this was helpful! But again, what should I do with these feelings? Anything? Nothing?

    You have to accept them.I know it's hard, but that's the way it is.
    On the other side you have a very big dating pool. :thumbsup::icon_bigg
