Hi @Daffodil_Moose and welcome to the online community! We are so glad that you reached out for some support 😃
Questioning your sexuality can be a really confusing experience, so it's totally okay that you're still figuring things out! I don't know what it's like to identify as asexual, but as a woman who is attracted to other women, I can definitely relate to the experience of not knowing whether you find someone aesthetically attractive or romantically attractive. Even though I don't like guys, there were always some men that I found attractive and even guys that made me a little nervous to be around, and sometimes I mistook that for romantic attraction too. It's hard to work out what you're feeling when people don't talk to you about the fact that there are multiple types of attraction. How do you feel about the idea of being romantically attracted to both men and women?
I can hear that having a partner at some point interests you, but you mentioned that you 'get weird around the topic' of relationships. Do you feel comfortable telling us a bit more about what that means for you?
Have you ever met anyone that identifies as asexual, or someone that is going through the same experience of questioning their sexuality before? If you think it might be useful for you, here's a link to our Asexual/Aromantic Community thread where some of our other users have shared their experiences with asexuality. Hopefully you're able to find some kindred spirits here!
