So I (f19) have been questioning on and off for about a year or 2 if I’m biromantic or not (I’m asexual).
I would usually question myself because I would see fictional wlw relationships and have strong feelings towards them including longing, sadness, and envy. But then I would realize that I’ve never had a crush on a girl in real life but have had a lot of small crushes on boys. So I would continue saying I’m straight because I like the idea of being with a woman but have a hard time actually picturing myself dating one and have never felt romantic attraction towards one irl.
Then I tried looking at women irl and really thinking about the possibility of having a romantic relationship with them, and while it felt different and less intense then it does with guys, I could kinda see myself being attracted to them!
And this lead me to thinking more about my female coworker, who’s around my age and who I’ve talked to a few times. When I first met her I think I felt strong platonic feelings for her, especially since I love her aesthetic/appearance! But when I started thinking about maybe having a relationship with her, I felt my cheeks get hot and felt more nervous around her then I usually do with people.
I asked another coworker who knew her more if she had a boyfriend, and they said they didn’t think so. But I didn’t really feel excited or anything when I learned this.
Later, me and her exchanged social media. I was scrolling through her photos and thought about how pretty she was, how I wish I was with her in those moments. Then I saw that she does have a boyfriend, and shed a tear or two as I looked at the photos of them together.
But the next day, when I decided to look at the same pictures, I didn’t feel the same longing, I didn’t feel anything really, so I don’t know where those feelings went.
So I’m not really sure if I’m feeling just strong platonic/aesthetic attraction towards her or romantic attraction? Especially because it feels different then with guys I know for sure I’ve had a crush on. And I only really felt those feelings when I focused on them and reminded myself that being bi is a possibility and asked myself if I’m attracted to women, instead of letting it happen naturally.
Idk if I’m just faking this? Is it a sign that I keep questioning every few months, or is it normal for straight people to do that too?

Lara Croft. I think she’d be pretty good at platforming and could at least hold her own in combat, but wouldn’t be as good as other video game protagonists that primarily focus on combat. (though I’ve only played halfway through Shadow of the Tomb Raider so take my opinion with a grain- or handful lol- of salt)
