I'm probably gray-ace, but thinking maybe stay unlabeled?

Hi @dreamerboy welcome to GS. This is just based on my reading, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, you are what you are. I don't believe in hard labels anyway.

I don't think your experience here necessarily sets your sexuality in stone. Being left on read, or ignored or feeling like you're being ignored is not fun and if you're an overthinker like myself, well it can lead us to jump to conclusions about what might be going on with them. When things go on for weeks without hearing back from them tells me they probably weren't into you but at any rate didn't sound like they were making you a priority. The thing I have had to learn is to not become too emotionally invested in people who do not return it. Many people are happy to take and give little or nothing in return. So look out for that. It also takes a long time to really get to know someone, so if things are not feeling good early on, a lot of drama, it just may not work out.

Have you considered you might be "demisexual" or perhaps you are asexual. Either way, I wouldn't let a bad relationship, a bad encounter make you question your sexuality. I say that because I recently questioned it myself. I was in a relationship that wasn't going anywhere and at the same time reconnected with a girl I dated before I came out of the closet. Fast forward, I've been dating a guy for about 5 months now and things are going well between us and I can say in retrospect, I don't know what I was thinking, I'm pretty gay...

The question is not whether you're 100% gay or not. I think you just need to meet other people and that can take time.

Another thing is how do you feel about your sexuality? How do you feel if you were indeed gay? Or asexual? It is important to feel comfortable in your own skin. Deal with any insecurities you might have. Hope this helps.
