    I really don't know why, but this reminded me of something. :lol:

    When I was starting to realize that I was gay, I looked back on all the signs from when I was little. I had kept them all to myself, embarrassed, but now I look back at all of my little obsessions and stuff and think "JESUS I WAS SO GAY". For instance, I was obsessed with Emmy Rossum when I was 13. Before that, I was fascinated by Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I couldn't have been older than 10. It wasn't until later that my lil obsessions included thoughts like, "I wouldn't mind if I could kiss one of them," and other crush thoughts.

    Not sure why your comment reminded me, probably because I looked away from my computer and said "Aren't we all attracted to Gillian Anderson?" :roflmao:

    When I hadn´t realised that I am a guy I struggled a lot with liking girls. It started when I dreamed about making out with one of my friends and I really liked that thought but I didn´t want to be gay or anything like that so I told myself that it was just a dream and that it had no meaning.
    So that dream was followed by two years of deinal, that was until I started cosplaying and wachting cosplay videos.
    I often had crushes on cosplayers but I always sat there thinking: it´s okay, I am totally straight because they are cosplaying as male charcters, right?! But then I realised that I still hab crushes on them when they didn´t wear their cosplays, so I started to identivy as bisexual.
    Then when I got more and more into the LGBT+ community I started to whatch trans* Youtubers and I had crushes on some of them and suddenly I realised that basically gender had never mattered to me at all and that I am pan :grin:.

    I don't think it here was one specific way I knew, I think it was many little things I noticed. Like when I wanted to spend more time with my best friend than my boyfriend. I would get butterflies when my best friend would walk into a room but never with my boyfriend. I never wanted to do anything physical with my boyfriend in high school. I always looked at women than men. I only crushed on female celebrities. I just wasn't interested in men. I was only interested in women. There was nothing there emotionally with men like there were with women.
