Confusion about my sexuality

I'm new and I'm exited to be able to chat with people who understands. So I'm in a very bad situation. I live in a religious country with relegious parents. I am very confused with my sexuality and feeling and could use help. I think i have feelings (but I'm still not sure)for this girl in my class. It started as a small thing she would casually flirt with me and tease me but now it's well.. she always like touches me in a way thay feels intimidate, she gets openly jealous and removes people's hands away from me if they are touching me. I still don't know if she's just being playful but something tells me it's more. I feel myself blushing whenever she flirts with me and i get all confused... i could really use help trying to figure out my feelings.

@Minileslla don't worry, exploring your sexuality can be confusing at first! Before you make a move with her, make sure you truly understand what you feel for her: what do you like about her? How do those feelings differ from those you have for other friends? Can you imagine you and her in a romantic scenario? If there were no one around you to judge, how would a relationship feel? Once you've answered all of that, your mind should be clearer. I know it's not easy to recognize feelings you've been taught to ignore, but you deserve a chance to know yourself better. There's nothing wrong with love, whatever gender you feel it for!

Next step is figuring out how to deal with this girl. Do you think she would be open to explore these feelings with you? You can try to learn more about how she feels when it comes to queer people - for example, you can mentions news about queer celebrities or shows as a way to introduce the topic and see her reaction.

Eventually, whether things with this girl go further or not, I hope you can find supportive people around you to share this side of you with. Having to hide and repress your identity is not fair. You can even look for LGBT associations to meet other people with similar experiences and exchange tips and support. They may not be easy to find near you due to the religious environment, but you can take a look at the ILGA list of associations divided by country, there's something almost everywhere!
Best of luck on your journey!
