Nonetheless, it seems very odd that you're feeling any sort of confusion about this, especially since you are a grown adult and no longer a kid/teenager. I mean, I remember my first crush when I was 4 years old... and there was never a single question in my mind of what I was feeling or that I was heterosexual. So it's hard for me to imagine another person being so unsure of their sexuality. If I had to guess, I would say I still do think there is some level of asexuality at play here. Might be something for you to look into and learn more about.
As for your father, I would put it out of my mind for now. Since you're not even dating anyone at the moment (and never have), it seems like what he said to you isn't relevant to your life as of now. My advice is for you to let that go for now and just focus on trying to figure yourself out first. When you are dating someone and things get serious, then you should think about having a talk with your father about it. If he is a good parent he will love you and be there for you regardless of who you are with. It may be a hard pill for him to swallow at first if you aren't with someone he'd prefer you to be with, but if he loves you he will get over it in time.
No need to apologize.

Fair enough. When you said "when I was a teenager" I assumed that meant you were already in your 20's or more. Good luck!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
