Hola!

Hi and welcome to the forum

Thanks for having me!

Hi there Sunshine! Btw, is that your real name? Its cool cause I have a friend named Sunshine too! To answer your question, I always had a thing for girls since I was 12. I hadn't even known that it was possible to be attracted to someone of the same gender until I was 11 and a friend told me she was a lesbian(and she had to explain to me what that was). Growing up in Asia and being queer is hard. For many years I kept thinking that it was just a phase and that I'd grow out of it. Until one day when I was 19, I realised that that wasn't going to happen. So I came out to a friend, who told me that it was obvious that I'm gay. At that point I had liked someone, and because I'm only surrounded by straight girls, I fell for one. And when I told her how I felt, she freaked out. We didn't talk for a while. But now we've grown to become good friends since then. It's been 2 years since I've come to terms with being gay and I have slowly come out to more people and I have to say that I'm lucky enough to have been accepted by my friends. The only thing I have left to do is come out to my family. Which right now, I can't bring myself to do, yet(i hope).
I hope I somehow answered your question haha

Hey, welcome! I love the nickname sunshine!(: it took me a really long time to acknowledge to myself that I was gay. I would have crushes on girls but think that they were just "friend" crushes not real ones. I grew up not really being aware that I could be with a girl, everyone was always talking about dating/marrying guys and once I went to college I finally started thinking for myself and figured it out. I got involved in the tumble lgco mmunity, made a pof account ad hungout/went on a couple dates, made out with a girl for the first time. Only after that I came out to some people. I wouldn't worry too much about what to do, just go with the flow(:
