I’m a 15 – almost 16 – year old boy and have never been in any type of relationship. I have been attracted to both males and females but for a long time it has been primarily towards males with some attraction to breasts, but I feel as if that is a ‘weak’ attraction. I’ve wanted to have a caring, stable relationship for a while (although I know that’s unlikely at this age) but every gay relationship I have seen personally seems cold and shallow and most men the same. I find that I only feel emotional attraction to women but sexual attraction towards men. I guess what I want to know is whether to keep hoping for something unlikely – for someone who fits both bills – or whether to try to just be more open and less… fussy? Sorry if a lot of that made no sense – I’m not good with writing/ typing

Hey,
While it’s a fairly common stereotype, it’s definitely not true. Having been in a few same-sex relationships myself (17 years old, by the way) I can safely say that gay relationships can be anything straight relationships can be, and maybe more.
There’s one mistake that people our age tend to make, especially people like yourself who are exploring what they like and what they are attracted to; selecting a partner solely on looks.
If you make that mistake you’re very likely to end up with someone that you’re not emotionally compatible with, and your relationship may very well end up being cold and shallow.
Find someone that you truly connect with; someone with shared interests, someone you can have a good conversation with and someone that you can have fun with.
Hope that helps.
