Is it normal to have feelings for a boy as a small kid

Well I have heard of man crushes and stuff, but when I was 6 years old I remember liking a boy I seen on a movie he was about the same age as me, I honestly can't remember the movies name. But I have always loved girls at that time I already had 4 girlfriends in school. But I don't know what you call the feelings I had for the boy on tv I know it was the only time I ever had that. I did not get arousal or anything like that from it. I remember as a kid seeing playboy magazines lying around and I loved those. I have always loved any kind of girl and always will. That is really bothering me though that I may have been bisexual as a kid. I don't think you would call it that I guess it is just a man crush. Has anyone else had these feelings before and know what I am talking about. It would really help if you commented below.

    You could probably call it a crush. Or maybe you just thought the boy seemed cool and you wished you could be his friend.

    Sexual orientation is a weird thing with lots of gray area. Most people are not purely straight, purely gay, or exactly 50/50 bisexual. And if you were talking about when you were 6, who even knows? Little kids can get crushes but they don't experience arousal the way adults and teenagers do.

    Don't worry about your sexuality. When it all comes down to it, you only have to date and/or have sex with the people that you want to. If 2-3% of you is "gay" does it really matter?

      I thank you for the help but wow I didn't know 2-3% of you was gay. But yea I guess it would be a crush I thought he was cute. I wanted to be like him though. I remember at recess playing as him. It was in a vampire movie so I pretended I was a vampire just like he was.

    Totally normal. You do know that we're all probably bisexual to some extent? You don't have to act on it unless you want to, stop worrying about it
