I think that depends on your definition of gay. If you mean gay as in homosexual, then you could be bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or demisexual and be a guy that likes another guy but not gay. But if you mean gay as in not straight, then I don't think that exists. If someone says that in real life, then I think they just didn't realize they weren't straight up until that point.
it's referred to as 'singular same sex attraction' where a person is normally hetero, but falls in love with a particular person of the same sex but is not attracted to others of the same sex
Agreed. Sexual attraction is not equal to love or liking. I don't know why that's so hard to understand.
Yes I'm a straight woman, have no interest in women and never have except for a girl I dated in highschool who I had genuine feelings for. I hate it when people say I'm bi and just closeted because I know myself and I know that's not the case. Sexuality is a weird thing. It isn't set in stone and black and white
I work with a LGBTQIA NGO and have never heard of this before. I googled it and can't find any information. Do you have a source you could share?
Well, there's this idea of gender fluidityヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
i wonder if there's really such thing like "i like a guy but i'm not gay" thingy in real life
