with me being a lesbian wasn't a choice it was how I was born. my family has stories of when even as young as 3 years old I would have "crushes" on my little girl friends. in elementary school I again gravitated to one or two girls that I thought were pretty, and I loved them. in jr high when I started dating my dating interests were girls/ women.
in high school I had a crush on one of my teachers and a few girls around my age. the teacher recognized a budding crush in me just like they can tell when a boy-girl couple is beginning to show their crushes and love interests. she pulled me aside after class and explained to me that though she understood I could not help who I was falling in love with because love is love and its normal and a wonderful thing when you find that in your life but her love interests are men, not to mention its illegal for teachers and students to get together romantically. it was ok to admire and think of her as pretty and such but I had to turn my focus to those around my own age.
in fact she had a friend who has a girl who loves girls just about my age and would I like to meet her and maybe hang out a bit with her. I said yes and that teen and I though we didn't find the match of a life time we did enjoy each others company.
in college young adulthood I enjoyed being with and dating women
and now Im a happily married woman to a wonderful woman and 4 children.
