I know who I want to date or who I'm interested in dating. I just don't know who I'm attracted to. I find a lot of people good looking. Stuff like gender or age doesn't matter to me. I rarely get sexually aroused or sexual thoughts about people I find good looking. I think I'm like this because I'm kind of on the asexual spectrum.

...and there are those who are attracted to only one very specific look. Different ends of the spectrum. From what I've seen over the years...I'm guessing you'll meet someone, become friends and then realize you *like* being physical with them. Unless, of course, you want to be attracted to someone because that's what you've been taught you should do, but its not really you. In which case you actually have more options than most other people. You can find someone who you are *comfortable* with and who you trust and enjoy being with in all ways, or you can let go and truly let yourself enjoy not doing so. Lucky for you, the next decade or so are the perfect time to try out your options and learn what shape your life should be to enable you to be the most content and happy!

I have confusion about attraction as well.

You might be romantic asexual.

I've felt sexual attraction a few times.
