Default Confused and not confuse about sexual preference

This may be nothing... but something that happened today got me thinking.
I have always been attracted to guys, but once when I was younger, like 12, I went with my mom to hockey. There was this woman who was a lesbian and she was quite masculine and I was terrified that I was attracted to her. There was something that attracted me but I don't know what.

Anyway... Last week at my soccer game there was this girl, probably about my age and I found myself being... sort of attracted t her. It's hard to explain. She's also masculine and lesbian.

I am not against people being gay or lesbian and I actually know people who are and it doesn't bother me. I've always been scared that I'm "going to be", even though I have a boyfriend and am extremely attracted to men... is it there masculine energy that I'm attracted to? It just kind of confuses me... ??

What scares you, exactly, about the possibility of being attracted to a woman? What would happen if you were?

I don't know what scares me. I guess... I would feel like I wasn't myself.
If I was attracted to a woman... nothing would happen. I guess it's because I'm not attracted to the fact that they're woman but the fact that they're like men... but woman....
In my life I've thought this twice... and been around woman all the time. Never been attracted to any girls I know... only the two guy like ones??
It's not something that important ... but just don't want to get married and realise this too late... even though I know it won't happen. I guess I'm always scared things won't be perfect so anything that could get in the way of that puts me in panic mode??

What would happen if things won't be perfect, that would have you choosing to be in panic mode?

Good point. It is a choice. I guess I just want to control everything... and it gets worse every day. It actually seems to be a theme lately... and over my whole life...

Yes, I hear you. That whole not wanting to be wrong thing is really in your face lately, isn't it? Congratulations! You are on the brink of breakthrough thinking!

You definitely don't give up on people! I think it's all there... but the breakthrough doesn't reach the surface. The work I do... doesn't... work.

Maybe I should start writing again?? Like my poetry etc?? Haven't done it for long!
