Sometimes I wish there was a quick, science-approved test to know your exact sexual orientation.

"Yeah, you're bisexual, you can try dating the opposite sex"
or
"No, you're gay, you like women aesthetically but that's it"
and etc.

This will likely happen in 20 years or so, and it will make life so much easier

20 is too generous, given how hard it is to pin down psychology in general. It might be that our current paradigm of sexuality doesn't even closely map to reality so such a thing is just impossible.

^ this. I feel like the language we currently use to define attraction/orientation is probably extremely lacking and a lot of the work done to understand it isn't really getting much of anywhere.

but honestly, I feel everyone would be happier if they, just kinda, cared a bit less. I mean-- let yourself exist, learn who you are on your own time, and, like, you can use words to describe who you are, but don't get attached to a lable, and certainly don't let yourself be defined by what words you think apply to you or not.
