As some have already said, you just know. As a child, I really didn't understand what love or attraction was; but I always had that weird feeling around other boys, but I never knew what is was; I always ignored it. Most children do at that age, as well as heterosexual boys always have a feeling like that as well sometimes (but can't really compute what it is). As I got older, I started learning more about myself and what the feeling actually meant.
Throughout the years I never actually acknowledged I was gay (I kind of didn't want to be, because of my family) until after a while. Then I fell in love and realized what love actually was(and what the feeling had always been) and at that moment I actually knew I was a homosexual. Too bad the guy was too scared of his family to come to terms with who he was, but he helped me understand at least. Oh and I've been with girls before, but I never felt the connection when I was younger as I do when in a relationship with other males. Sorry for that basic ass cookie-cutter story, but that's how it happened.
