"I don't like girls, I'm [her crush's name] sexual, I only love that person for now and forever". Yep, everything to avoid saying the word lesbian or gay. At least she doesn't use the word Yuri to describe her sexual orientation
Well, not everyone has the same experience in life and love. When I was 17 and started liking my best friend (a girl) I didn't feel I was "gay" either. She was the only person I liked til then and I felt so strongly for her that I thought she was gonna be the only person I'd ever love in my whole life. Thinking about other guys or girls in a romantic light repulsed me. In that sense, I also thought "I must be (crush)sexual". I didn't feel the need to question anything about my sexual orientation, it never even crossed my mind, I just wanted her to feel the same.
Now I know I'm bi, but I didn't like anyone else til mid college (21/22), when I fell for a guy... only then I felt the need to label myself. If you think about it, straight people aren't pressured to think about that stuff, so why should we? The world is changing, let's normalize being attracted to different genders
