I do question why you feel you are gay. Based on what you have written; "never really had a boyfriend or never even hung out with a gay guy," I'm unsure as to how you can make such a statement.
At your age and sexual development it is not unusual to have sexual relations with a member of the same sex. It is part of exploring your sexuality. It does not mean you are gay or not gay.
I hesitate to put labels on things especially sexual identity and at your age. Teenagers can be quite cruel to anyone who labels themselves anything but heterosexual. It wrong that they do, they should be more tolerant of people that are different them themselves. But they are not because they do not understand and what they do not understand scares them. Even in today's more enlightened age.
As I said I am hesitant to label in the first place. If you have not had any gay or heterosexual relationships to judge from I would not put a label on yourself just yet. Experimentation at your age is expected during your teenage years and even into college. Labels are meaning less until you know for certain who and what you are.
