Help: Am I Gay or Not?

How Can I Tell

By Kathy Belge, About.com

Dear Kathy

I need your help please.

There is a girl at work when I first saw her I thought, “yea nice.” I was talking to a friend of mine and said that this girl at work she is f------ gorgeous.

She is!!!!! I am constantly watching her at work,

I am not gay. (Well I don’t know now.) This has never happened before and I have had many boyfriends. I am 35 years old.

Help! Am I gay or not? How do you know?

Signed,

Questioning in Queens

Dear Queen:

Relax. You may just be having a girl crush.

A girl crush is when two heterosexual women find themselves attracted to one another. It’s very normal and nothing to be worried about. Of course, being a lesbian is normal too. How do you know if you are a lesbian? Here’s more about that.
