Dear Laura,
The other day, I was walking with a friend of mine in the Norn Terrarium, and I suddenly noticed how attractive he was. Am I gay? Since then, I've developed a crush on him, I think... All I can think about is kissing him. I'm really confused, and frightened to tell him because I think he'll reject me. Please help!

Dear Reyan,
I've heard that same-sex attractions or "hero worship" can just be part of growing up, a normal phase. In my experience, being in love, which very is different to falling in love, doesn't depend on anything but the personality of the one you adore. It can be quite natural for you and your fellow Norns to feel affection for one another, since you've probably never been more than thirty centimetres apart from each other your whole lives, if that far. I'd recommend that before you do anything, accept that it could either be true love, or a red herring, a feeling that will pass and fade, but is no less potent for the meantime. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck in your pursuits.
