    So I'm guessing if I signed up for this website I'm most likely not straight. I have only dated one guy and it didn't go well. I haven't had much interest in dating any guys. About ten years ago a therapist asked me if I might me gay. Due to the fact that I had zero interest in dating at least not guys. I was really offended. More likely because he knew before I realized it myself. In about 2010 was the first time I fully realized. But in denial. I wasn't scared to tell my parents because they are the most supportive people on the face of the earth. My dad's response yesterday was as long as you're not a republican. So here I am almost 8yrs later questioning myself. I've had an attraction to a couple ladies. It's just me needing a place to help me become fully accepting of my sexuality. I do have extended family who won't like it but as my dad said screw em. Sorry for such a long into!
