how do i know if i like girls or guys ?
Heya, working out who you’re drawn to can take a bit of noticing 💫
Think about whether you feel differently around certain girls or guys compared with friends.
👉 Do you want to spend more time alone with them?
👉 Do you think about them a lot when they’re not around?
👉 Do your feelings seem similar for girls and guys, or different?
You could also talk things through with a close friend or a parent or trusted adult if that feels helpful 💛
Sexuality can be fluid, so your feelings may change as you grow and meet new people.
There’s no rush to know for sure or choose a label unless you want to.
Take your time, and just ask luna if you want to talk more 🦋
