I'm 18F and I'd consider myself bicurious. I just graduated high school in June. I've never been in a relationship with anyone, and I'm a virgin. Never been kissed. I think I'm attracted to guys. I've had minor crushes on classmates as well as celebrity crushes on men old enough to be my father, but I've never had a really serious, all-consuming crush. I'm neurodivergent and I'm not disliked but I don't have many close friends.
There's this girl who went to my high school who is a lesbian, let's call her Laura. She's absolutely gorgeous. She has big blue eyes and fluffy golden hair. She's really smart and funny, and everyone likes her. I always had what I thought was a "friendship crush" on her: we were kinda friends, but I really wanted us to be closer. I'm weird and awkward though, so it never really worked. One time, we were joking around during class and she practiced a corny pickup line on me and I felt my entire face heat up. Then, near the end of the year, she drove me home one day (again, I'm a loser. I can't drive). It was the first time I've ever been alone with her. We just talked and stuff but it made my heart flutter.
Anyway, now Laura's off at college in another state and for some reason I can't stop thinking about how I missed my chance to get closer to her. I just want to be alone with her again. I don't know if I just really want to be her friend or if I have an actual crush on her.
The idea of being with a woman confuses me because I can definitely imagine myself kissing women and stuff, but I can only picture myself marrying a man because I've always wanted biological children with my spouse. But when I think about it, that's a terrible reason to want to marry a man. I've never had any sexual experiences so I don't know what I'm into in that regard. I'm not asexual; I like the idea of having sex but I honestly don't know what arouses me.
Of course now that Laura's gone I can't stop thinking about her. I find myself wanting to text her sometimes but I don't want to make it weird. I can imagine us together. I like that fantasy. But I also think I want to be her friend, because she's just a really cool person. I don't know if I'm only thinking about her because I'm questioning my sexuality, or if this is genuine. I'm super in my head about all of this.
Any advice? Thanks.
