In Answer To: Am I gay or bi? (Leviathan)

There are several straight guys who are "mentally" attracted to other guys, and while that's a great basis for friendship, it's unfortunately not enough for a relationship. The whole point of being honest about your sexual orientation is to recognize who you are truly physically and emotionally attracted to you.

It sounds to me that you're "gay," but at age 14 there's still room for things to change. If you're able to, I'd recommend that you give it some time and focus on friendships at this stage in your life. Get to know yourself better before you decide to pursue any relationship.
