That's a very big issue and churches deal with it in different ways. I don't know your age, but if you are still a teenager I suggest you talk about this with an experienced Christian counsellor. However money can be a problem.

Some pastors are great, but others can be limited in what they say.

But whatever, you do need to talk with someone suitable.

I agree with Johnnz.. try to find wise council from a youth pastor, Christian school counselor or someone else to talk to is important.

Maybe tell us more about what is going on. Not everyone has a pastor that they can go to, so I'm sure we can help you here, too.
I would like to to help, as I know others will to. Could you tell us more about what's going on?

In the meantime, I suggest that you pray a lot. Tell God exactly what is bothering you. Don't hold back--He already knows what you're going to say, but say it anyway. Telling Him can also help sort things out in your head, too.
And remember--sometimes it takes awhile for God to work a change into your life. Things don't magically go away...give God the change to help you. Try to be patient, and know that God will never abandon you. He will help you with this, as long as you are fully open to letting Him.

And also realize that many people mature quite late. I have met people who didn't develop crushes on the opposite sex until they were in their twenties. Don't feel as though you've got to be worldly and date every person you come across. It might not be your time yet to fall in love or get a crush, either. This world throws really warped messages at us, every day. If you keep your eyes on God, everything will begin to straighten out.

How old are you?

Society gives such mixed messages about sexuality and what it means to be attracted to someone. It could simply be that you aren't yet attracted to females and are confusing other feelings for homosexual attraction towards men. Curiosity doesn't mean you are gay either.

However, talking to an adult you trust is always a good idea- be it a therapist or minister. They will be able to talk to you about what it is you are going through and what it all means.

Truly decide this day that you want to lay it all down at the feet of our Saviour and it will all be washed.

I will keep you in prayer

Have a great day

JESUS IS LORD!
