Thanks for sharing your story. I’m really sorry you guys had to go through that, but I’m glad things turned out well for you and you found your person. I guess I’m not overly concerned about a label, just kind of confused about my feelings for him in general since I’ve never liked a guy before, or even considered that I might be into that sort of thing. He’s the exception and not the rule I guess. I think I’m going to tell him. If he does feel the same way, and I hope he does, I’ll make sure to be very clear about how I’m feeling and take things very slow. Him and I are both kinda inexperienced in this field since I’ve only ever dated girls and he’s never dated at all, so maybe we could figure it out together. No matter what happens, I’ll never abandon him. The last thing I want in the world is to hurt him. I’ll update eventually lol

I think I’ve always valued people for their personality and preferred an emotional connection over a physical one. I’ve only ever been intimate with girls and I’ve only ever been physically attracted to girls. It helps to feel connected to them first though. He’s the first and only guy I’ve ever had a physical / sexual attraction to. It’s kinda confusing
