Are you attracted to the same sex? Are you attracted to the opposite sex? Are you attracted to both? That should answer your question.
Don't get too hung up on the label. Be attracted to who you're attracted to, love you who you love, and don't worry about the labels. When you figure out what you are, then that's fine, but don't try to force yourself to find a label. Eventually, you'll figure it out.
I was straight most of my life, then started becoming attracted to other women as well. I have never been in a relationship with a woman, but have had sexual relations with them, so I consider myself bi. But I just don't see the label as being that big of a deal.

Sexual orientation refers to the direction of an individual's sexuality, usually conceived of as classifiable according to the sex or gender of the persons whom the individual finds sexually attractive. The most commonly used categories of sexual orientation are heterosexuality (being sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex), homosexuality (being sexually attracted to members of the same sex) and bisexuality (being sexually attracted to members of either sex).
This site presents in a simple, nonpartisan pro-con format, responses to the core question "Is sexual orientation determined at birth?"

I know I'm straight because, although I find some women stunningly beautiful or smart or funny, I never think of them in terms of romance or sex. I only respond that way to men.

Bi means you could have sex with both men and women, lesbian is when you are a women who only likes other women and strait is when you can NOT see yourself marrying the opposite sex.

You're straight if the same sex (in your case girls) does not turn you on only the opposite sex. You're gay/a lesbian if you find that you not attracted to the opposite sex, only the same sex. You're bi if you're attracted to both sexes.

It's like a .... 'gut feeling', I guess.
Experimentation with both sexes helps you decide for sure (At least, it did with me), but it depends on who you're sexually, physically and emotionally attracted to

If you're straight you date and have meaningful relationships with the opposite sex.
If you're lesbian or gay you date and have meaningful relationships with the same sex.
Bis do this with both sexes
