I tried to do some soul-searching last night. It didn't go as well as I had hoped. I got into this Harvey Two-Face type argument with myself that nearly drove me to tears. Remember that "something" that pushed me to repent, and that personal matter that made me cry for twenty minutes? That was this issue. This issue is becoming a big problem and unless I come to terms with it, and I'm not joking here, I think I'll go insane. It's a very personal matter and I've told nobody the subject matter. I'm currently looking up similar cases and I found something and, I'm embarrassed to quote this but, here it is "When you get to a certain age you will be attracted to boys. That is a good thing and there is nothing you can do about it." No, I'm not gay, the problem is just common with girls. So yeah, that's the problem. I have a crush. The post says that telling friends about the problem helps, so... here I am.
EDIT: Honestly, this thing isn't helping, here's another quote "Feelings are just feelings! When you feel attracted to someone, just say 'Oh, huh, look at that. I'm attracted to them. So?' And don't get freaked out and worried" WELL IF IT WAS THAT SIMPLE THEN I WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM!
I found out about Teen Titans Go. Ow, my nostalgia...
Yeah I feel ya.
I know today's kids are pretty slow, but they didn't need to dumb down the cartoon that much.
Kinda reminds me why I don't watch T.V. anymore, but it always saves me cash.
For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. [url=http://www.backloggery.com/jumpmad]Unive...
Heh, Speaking of Tv shows.
Trigun, the anime I'm going to watch soon, could be less enjoyable. Thanks to (ahem) certain situations which involves a cat.

There's no need to beat yourself up over it as it's a normal phase that some straight people go through during puberty. If you only feel attracted to guys and not emotionally attached to them but you feel both for girls, then you're probably straight and it's just a phase. Sorry if you don't think it's any of my business but I don't think you should have to repent for something that's completely natural.
@MickeytheGreat Repent implies you've done something wrong. From what I read you didn't do anything wrong or evil. It's ok man, you're going through stuff. It happens and like any phase you'll get through it. Don't be too hard on your self, buddy.

I second @FonistofCruxis' notion. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Bromance (or being gay, as a matter of fact).
Now, I'm not homosexual, but do I mind my potentially bi/sociopath friend hitting on me? Eh, not really. Do I mind how my ratio of guy friends to girl friends is like 4:17? Nope.
There's nothing wrong with going through phases in life, 'cause we all have to. Just 'cause you're feeling a bit woozy around another guy doesn't mean you're automatically gay. Heck, there's nothing wrong with a little male appreciation once in a while just like how girls should be allowed to call another female "hot" without being labeled as a lesbian.
It'll pass bro, and there's no reason to drive yourself mad over this.
@Everyone Thanks for trying but I should've clarified, the article I quoted was meant for girls. My crush IS a girl and, like I said, I'm not homosexual. I've read the "it's completely natural" excuse before and that's a good excuse! IF we were talking about a crush on someone who didn't really know me. I know my crush, we've been good friends for awhile and this crush is ruining that. I can't confess because what if she doesn't return the feelings? I wouldn't want her to get sad or feel bad for me because of my petty crush! And if I just live with it then I'll go insane for sure. Once again, thank you guys SO much (on an unrelated note: I wouldn't mind having a crush on any of you) for trying to console me and @FonistofCruxis it is definitely your business. One last thing I need to clear up, I didn't repent BECAUSE I have a crush, I repented because I was onboard with the crush and felt obligated to ask God if she was the one. (Of course, now I know he doesn't choose 'the one' he just lays out the rules,) I-y'know what? I said it best:
something happened (I'd rather not say) and it wouldn't leave my thoughts, and I couldn't shake the feeling that it meant something... I guess you could say it pushed me harder then the prospect of losing my family because later that night I had gone to bed and I felt like I needed to have a talk with God about it. It was incredibly awkward for me because I KNEW I hadn't been as good of a christian as I should've been, I started asking for a sign (related to "something") until I started thinking 'Yes, I know can repent right now but-I just can't!' I kept trying to convince God (and myself) to wait but I couldn't. I literally felt like I was having a conversation with God. it all led to me begging for forgiveness.
That's what really happened. So yeah, recap: I'm not homosexual, I didn't repent because of the crush, she's my friend so I SHOULDN'T have these feelings for her and thank you all for the advice. I'll try to take it to heart.
@MickeytheGreat If it's any help all the straight guys at my school hit on each other all the time. I know you're saying you're a girl, but still. At the teenager age stuff like what you're going through is perfectly natural. Seriously, if I wasn't close to some of the guys I know, I would have assumed they were very passionately openly gay when it turns out they're really not.
And yeah, what @Ark_sin said, I honestly don't care if a bi/gay friend were to hit on me as long as he can respect that I have no romantic interest in the same sex. I'd still be his friend if he's ok without and just doesn't push for it.
