you don't need to put a label on it.....if you're confused, just say you aren't sure.

It takes time to identify yourself.

No. Labels are unnecessary, you're not obligated to offer anyone an explanation of your attraction. If someone asks you can say that its not something that matters much to you or that you dont identify with a certain label at the moment.

As others have already said, you don't need a label. Some people find labels conforming but it sounds as though you are feeling a bit pressured to label yourself? I know I am not straight but I have decided that I don't need a label. Sexuality can be confusing. Its not exactly something you know from the get go. You have to take time to think and experience stuff (or at least for most people this is the case) and then afterwards stuff starts making sense like childhood events. If someone asks, you can say you aren't sure atm or I know some people just say queer as it is a vague term. At the end of the day it isn't really their business anyway and doesn't define you as a person.
