How the hell do you base whether you're straight or not on an internet crush? I understand that you like her, but cripes, there's more to it than that.

A part of orientation is sexual attraction, and you can't realize that you're attracted to girls OVER THE INTERNET. It's a completely physical thing, and it's not just about personality, either.

Unless you've liked or been with girls in real life, there's absolutely know way of knowing whether you're genuinely "not straight".

I know you like her, but that honestly has little to do with sexuality. Yes, there's a big difference in the mindset and personalities and behaviors of females versus males, and I know that can be conveyed over the internet. But ultimately, sexuality is well, SEXUAL too.

It sounds D: but it's TRUE.

I don't mean to bag on you, I'm just getting sick and tired of all these "fandom lesbians" who fall in love with their RP buddies (who roleplay as different genders!), then feel that makes them certifiably gay/bi/what have you.

I know you guys really "like each other" but sexuality is a lot deeper than that.

Oh and I'm gay, I've had girlfriends and such, and that's why this bothers me so much. =/ I'm really not trying to just be bitchy.

BY THE WAY THIS IS FOR 8

I forgot that part. :|

Good lord yes. I went through that whole stupid "falling in love" with your RP bud when I was like, fifteen. Was convinced forever I was at least somewhat gay.

...'Course then I had some sex and it turns out I was completely right, but that's NOT THE POINT.

In some of these cases it just seems so unhealthy.

(Icon love! That movie was so amusing. XD)

I completely agree with both of you, but at the same time, it *can* lead to some important realizations. I mean, I only accepted the fact that I was/am very deeply in love with a person I know in real-life (who is of the same sex) due to an internet/RP crush.

...Of course, that crush was pretty unhealthy too, but then again, most of my crushes are. >>;;;

Oh yeah, I'm not saying there can't be beneficial self-realization, but it's certainly nothing to base your own SEXUALITY on (esp with no other supporting evidence wow).

Congrats on that, btw <33

*nodnod* Definitely in agreement.

Oh, thank you! ^^; It's been over a year and I still haven't worked up the courage to act on it, but maybe one day. :)

Yes and no. For some people, sexuality is far more tied to emotional attraction than purely physical attraction. Also taking into account that very few people are 100% one way or another, the emotional attraction could just be something that makes someone feel more at ease with their own sexuality that they may just be learning about.

I'm bi, I've known for a very long time and only in more recent years been able to admit it (and still not out to the folks, despite having two wonderful life partners that I should probably tell them about) but sometimes the emotional attraction comes first. It's not impossible to be emotionally romantically inclined towards a particular person even if their gender typically doesn't do anything for you. It just means your sexuality is just as heavily influenced by emotions as it is by purely physical attraction.
