writes:So I'm confused about my sexuality at the moment. I'm an 18 year old girl who has always been attracted to guys. But within the past year, I've been very attracted to older women, like at least 40 years old. I'm usually attracted to that age group of men too, but I've liked plenty of guys my own age. I've always thought I was straight, but now I don't know. I would date guys from the age of 17 to about 60, but I would never want to date any girl my own age. What does this mean? I don't think I'm a lesbian obviously because I like guys, but I don't think I'm bisexual either. Any ideas? Is this just teenage hormones or something?

Hi there. It's hard to say which of these you are.
You probably see different things in different people that attract you to them. It might be friendship in older people.
I guess it really depends on whether you have actual sexual feelings towards the older men and older women, or do you simply want to get to know them - as a friend.
This is what you need to clarify to yourself, to know for sure.
The best suggestion I can give you is to just go with it, and don't try to make sense of it.
Some things in life just can't be explained. They just happen. They are neither right nor wrong. They simply are.
The main thing is that you don't judge yourself in any way, and instead, just accept you for who you are.
It may be hormones, and all your body is changing and you are becoming a woman and are no longer a child, so your whole world is changing quite rapidly right now.
It's going to make it even more confusing if you try to figure it all out. Just go with it and don't worry too much. Everything's normal.
As we grow up, we all experience different things. Our perceptions change as we grow into adults.
Sometimes the more you try to figure it all out, the less you understand.
And, the less you try to figure it all out - the more you understand.
