Question Posted Thursday September 10 2015, 5:05 pm
I want to kiss my friend. We are both females. I've never kissed anyone before. I'm sixteen. I've only begun to question my sexuality this summer. What should I do? Kiss her, even though I'm almost certain she's straight? I don't want to ruin our friendship. Another friend we hang out with knows I may have feelings for this girl. I don't want to ruin this dynamic, but sometimes I look at this girl and want to kiss her more than I've wanted to kiss anyone.
As far as wanting to kiss her and being confused about your sexuality; don't be. It is not uncommon for teenagers at some point during puberty to have feelings for someone of the same sex. It is all part of becoming sexually aware.
It does not mean you are gay. Being gay is how you are born and something you would have had feelings of and even known long before puberty hit. As for being bi scientist are of mixed opinion on that. Some feel like being gay this is how one is born. Others feel it is a learned lifestyle. Regardless of which just wanting to kiss someone does not mean you are either. as I said at some point during puberty as many as 95% of teenagers will engage in some type of same sex sexual activity.

A kiss should be both people's choice, so if you really want to pursue this, you'll need to speak to her, not grab at her. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
