Am I bisexual?

ADVICE

Okay so I (23f) thought I was straight until high school when I started having crushes on girls. Though mostly pretty manly girls—mascs 100% are my type but I also like androgyny and some femme girls, but my type in femmes is very specific. I’ve mostly preferred guys throughout my life and I don’t question my attraction there. But recently I’ve been really really drawn to masc/androgynous girls, like something about being with a girl is way more exciting to me than being with a guy?

Anyway, my dilemma is that I don’t think I’m necessarily sexually attracted to women? Meaning I don’t really fantasize about having sex with woman. And I’m not asexual, I’ve had and enjoyed sex with men. But when it comes to girls, I think I like the idea of being touched but I don’t like the idea of touching back… if you know what I mean. I haven’t had any sexual experiences with girls to test this bc the thought of sex with girls kinda scares me. However, I do find myself looking at girls I’m attracted to in a sexual way. Like I enjoy looking at boobs but I don’t want to touch them. I find girls so sexy and I feel like a perv but I don’t even want to have sex with them.

I’ve definitely crushed on girls and continue to crush on them, but I find that I really only want to kiss and cuddle the girls I’m into… nothing more than that. In high school I actually did have a fling sort of thing with a masc (but I was closeted so nothing was ever outright stated) but we cuddled and I was fully obsessed with them and I loved the physical touch. But even then, I didn’t desire to get sexual with that person?

I’m not claiming any kind of labels currently, I’m just confused and would like your opinions!!
