Labels can change

It still sounds like you are figuring out your sexual identity. Labels are important, but you don't have to stick to one.

For example

I started off assuming I was heterosexual even before I heard the word.
Then in high school I identified as a bi-romantic asexual who was mostly interested in men.

When I was nineteen, my brain decided that I wasn't done with puberty yet and whoosh, hormones. After about three monthes, I figured things out and identified as a bisexual who liked men and woman equally. Over two years I had crushes on three men and four women.

Right now, I'm mostly interested in women, but still identify as bisexual or queer.

All of the labels were true at the time, but I wasn't stuck because I chose one. You might find other words that work better for you, or that bisexuality fits you best. No rush. All that matters is that you feel comfortable with who you are.

Sorry for TMI, but I'm glad the thread above helped.

I've always told myself that a) sexuality is fluid, and b) so are labels. Which is why I've always just gone with heterosexual, since up until recently, I was very strongly heterosexual without a second look at most women. Now that I'm considering making the labeling switch, I just feel like I need to be 100% sure before I make the jump, because I don't want to be wishy-washy. Not to insult those who are/have been in transition and undergo change, I just...like I explained somewhere upthread, I like my structure and linear order and anything else tends to drive me absolutely nuts. I'm the worst type of personality to be trying to figure out my sexuality, lol.

Only tangentially related, but:

I'm so glad to meet somehow else who had this happen! xD I didn't identify as asexual beforehand because it didn't really register with me that aesthetic attraction =/= sexual attraction, but when I was seventeen, like you said, 'whoosh, hormones!' and 'suddenly, lesbian!'. It was the most disconcerting thing and up until now I figured it was just me. xD

I'm the anon who posted the comment above.

I thought I was weird too, but my second boyfriend had this happen to him when he was 21.
