how can you tell

[advicegirl]

how can you tell if you are gay or not? What are the signs? No I don't think i am gay or even about to be gay. I love men!!!!!!!

Here's a surefire way for any person to tell if they are gay or not. Get them to ask themselves the following question:

Q: Do I fancy people of my own gender?

If they answer "Yes" then they are. That may sound a little facetious, but there are no other guaranteed ways of telling; for instance, I know a bloke so camp he's signposted for tourists, but he's straight. Many people don't believe him, but that doesn't change his sexuality! One of my other mates is not in the slightest bit camp but *is* gay.

The same way you can tell you are straight.

good advice, but bear in mind that it's for adults. Teenagers (and younger) may go through a phase of fancying people of their own sex - quite common, but it usually doesn't last. You probably shouldn't assign your own sexuality until you're 16 or so.

To start with you just do not fancy men and you think that is kind of weird.But you don't presume you are gay.Gradually you start to fancy girls on the T.V and then girls you see around the place.However you only really realise you are gay when you properly fall in love with a girl.Then there is not mistaking that you are gay.Some gay people find they like people of the same sex first and then realise they do not but that was not the case with me.
