i honestly think mine was sometime in 8th grade when i realized that i didn’t just admire this guy, i wanted to go out with him.

i got jealous when he jokingly flirted with guys, but at the same time hoped that he was hinting that he was queer and not just joking around.

Honestly? Not until high school. I was always pretty hetero as far as I knew. I related to the other girls and when they talked about romance with guys, I could relate because I too liked guys and for a while, my crushes were only guys.

I met this really pretty girl and I thought I just wanted to be her friend until I realized I felt the same way about her as I did my guy crushes. Fortunately, she was a lesbian :)
