Honestly...when I was in my teens going through puberty...I always thought that I was a straight boy. I would watch my male peers come back from the summer breaks looking more like men...and interested in girls. My changes were sloooowwwww. I found out later that I actually had crushes on men instead of women...and that I was actually gay NOT straight. I was cool knowing...it was nice not having to keep on waiting for the interest in women to happen.
I never felt like I was a part of the whole HETERO thing anyway.
I was the exact same way in my teens. I kept thinking that I was going to start being interested in girls but it just never happened. I did find handsome men attractive but the idea that I could be gay never really crossed my mind. Finally this girl (who was my sister's best friend) decided that I WAS going to be her boyfriend and I basically went along with it because all of my friends had girlfriends.
By the time I graduated high school I had figured out I was into guys and not into her. She was a year younger and still in high school and shortly before I left to attend college 250 miles away I broke it off with her telling her that "I just didn't think a long distance relationship would work".
She was completely neurotic when we were dating if she ever thought I was looking at another girl. In most cases when she thought I was looking at another girl I was really checking out the guy the girl was with. ROFL. She was completely devastated when I broke up with her and immediately accused me of cheating on her (I hadn't) and that I dumped her so I could sleep around with all the CoEds at college.
I did not deny her accusations because I knew that if I didn't vehemently deny them she would assume they were all true and she would tell all of her friends what a jerk I was and soon everyone in the small town where I grew up would think I broke it off with her because I was a player, not because I was into guys.
Then I left town. :wink:
