Yes, teen angst is almost always a sign of homosexuality! Your poor brother. But like you said, at least your dad was up to the conversation!

For me, relationships and romance have never been an important part of my life. I've dated people, but I've never had a serious boyfriend (or girlfriend). I was a ridiculously shy and awkward child, and didn't start coming out of my shell until my late teens. It took me forever to even think of myself as a sexual person! My first couple years at university, I was notorious for being completely oblivious to male attention: I'd have no idea a guy was flirting with me until his tongue was in my mouth. (And then I'd make some lame excuse and run off to my friends.)

Romantic relationships are usually the last thing on my mind. I think if I'd been a more open person, and more flirtatious, I might have acted more on my attraction to women.

If I identify as anything, it's "mostly straight". One of these days I'll get around to writing a little essay about all the blemishes on my record of staunch heterosexuality. ;)
