I definitely do not believe I'm gay - I am gay to the core.

Like Dave...you said you were bi-curious. So what happened to your feelings for women? Did it vanish in time or suddenly very quickly? And how to feel towards women now? Don't just notice them anymore or do you still at some level get happy when you see a pretty girl? How do you look now towards the girls you liked or loved before? How do you look back at these relationships? Was it real or was it you figuring out who you are? Doesn't or didn't it feel like a lost when you didn't like girls anymore or didn't get turned on anymore..

When that happened - things changed gear and it was my boyfriend (at the time) introduced me to the gay lifestyle - that lifestyle change (along with the file) made me the gay man that I am today, and I'm really proud of who I am.
I don't really know when my heterosexual thoughts faded away, I would say maybe it was a slow process over 2-3 years, but I didn't realise it was happening, I didn't "think" about it because I was totally consumed with all the new things in my life - I should say that I love women, I adore them, idolise them - I see attractive women all the time and think "she's gorgeous" - I have lots of female friends, and have close relationships with them - I can (and have) kissed women (they love it) - and it feels great, but it's not sexual - women are a huge part of my life, they are friendships, and given me counsel - but arousal is just not there.
Identifying as gay is so much more than just these sexual aspects
