for about a year now ive been trying to figure out my sexuality and at point i usually just say "dunno" when people ask because, well, i actually dont know lol.
ive experienced several really intense attractions to other girls and probably the only time i have expeirenced a physical reaction to a kiss was when it was with another girl, however probably the strongest attraction i have ever felt was to a guy although it never got to a physical stage so i'll never know. whats interesting is i would say that i was most likely in love with the guy and its really annoying because i have tried identifying as bisexual but it doesnt feel right in the same way gay and straight dont feel like the correct labels.. so..
what do you think?

it sounds to me like maybe you're more romantically attracted to guys and sexually attracted to girls. if this is accurate, you could use the terms homosexual and heteromantic. as far as i know there isn't a specific term for this. i'm just pulling from what i'm interpreting, though, and labels don't have to be concrete. heck, you could make up your own label for yourself if you want!

Homosexual and heteromantic is totally a thing!

You may need to define the different types of attraction for yourself, and remember that sexual activity or response to stimuli doesn't always equal sexual attraction. As blurryface and Misfit Reindeer said, sexual and romantic orientations don't have to match either so it can be confusing. I know there are some resources in the Ace forum that go into that stuff.

I mean, it's not really a matter of you getting away with it, it's more like you using the label because that's what you're comfortable with calling yourself. If you feel like that label doesn't really define you, you don't need to use a label at all.

Agreed, it's very much about finding the right terms for yourself. Sometimes nothing fits, and sometimes things change. I identified as bisexual for a long time even though it didn't feel quite right, I just knew I felt the same about guys and girls. It was several years before I stumbled onto asexual as an option and even longer before I really understood my feelings and the difference between romantic and sexual attraction. It really just comes down to what you feel best represents you, if anything does
