I need some advice. Or maybe just to get my feelings out on paper.
I am a lesbian and have long identified that way. But recently I have been questioning if I have romantic feelings for a guy. He makes me feel safe and comfortable and loved. Like it might be okay to open up and be intimate (emotionally). He is funny and I love watching him do the things he loves. I love when he shares those things with me. I like knowing what goes on in his head. I could stay in one of his hugs for hours and I like physical contact with him. But I am physically affectionate with my friends in general.
Is this just a really genuine friendship? And I am conflated romantic and platonic feelings?
Because I can see myself being emotionally intimate, kissing and being on top of him in a flirty way. But I find myself upset by the idea of sex with him. It’s like I need to talk myself into the male-organ part of it all. Like I could do all the parts of a relationship willingly except that. I don’t know if it’s because I am a lesbian or because I am just afraid of physical intimacy.
Could anyone offer any advice? Or share similar experiences? I’m so confused and a little frustrated.
