Hello, all!

I'm Tom, 16 years old, and I'm pretty sure I might be gay. At least, I think I might be bisexual. I'm still trying to seek my identity and my place in the world, and I feel very welcome here already, and I haven't even posted yet (well, until now!)!

I just have one question -- I sometimes completely mirror some of the characters in IOMFATS's stories (which is why I love it here, BTW, IOMFATS, you're doing a wonderful job), in that I have a big big BIG crush on this guy from school. I can't stop thinking about him...heck, I've got butterflies even typing about it to you. He's a little younger than me, but probably by a margin of 8-12 months, and I only talk to him a little, but we seem to get along whenever I talk to him on my schoolbus (or, at least that's they way I think Wink

).

But, I don't know if he feels the same way about me -- heck, I don't even know if he's gay. What's the best strategy to find this information out, without being too obvious? I mean, no one close to me knows this about me -- except for one friend that merely shrugged it off as a phase and nothing more. Even the slightest bit of information would help me out here, because I'm totally clueless (and probably a bit too nervous!). Thanks a bunch, and I hope to get to know each and every one of you! Smile

-Tom
