I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but because at your age if these microlabels had existed I would have identified in a similar way, I find myself compelled to say: You are fourteen and I hope you continue to explore your orientation beyond this. Because what you've listed boils down to "I'm not sure about romance or sex" and that's absolutely fine for now, but I would implore you not to stay married to those exact labels, because a lot of these things can change as you age. They did for me, and they did for every single LGBT person I've ever known. 

I'm not saying it to dictate to you what you are or aren't, or how you should label - I'm just saying, figuring this stuff out can be really confusing and it's worth sorting things out, and sometimes that can take years.

Welcome.  You are not alone.  There is every sexual orientation and race and diversity in this group.  Have fun exploring.

Lesbian trans-girl here. (Also possibly aromantic, although I'm a little more hesitant to state that definitively)

Thank you! A lot of these microlabels can come from internalized misogyny, homophobia, transphobia etc., and often younger people on the internet can suffer as a result. It's okay to not know your orientation or to be uncomfortable with sex and romance at such a young age! Often these microlabels take these discomforts or sometimes even other issues that should be addressed (mental illness, trauma, etc) and give the idea that these are okay and just a part of who you are.

Again, it's okay to be unsure! If this ends up being who you are, that's okay too. But like Jejune said, don't feel like you have to put yourself into a box and stick with it. Sorry, I may be projecting a little bit as someone who was on the internet at such a young age, and watched their friends (and even themself) struggle a lot with identity as a result of all these micro-orientations.

I'm in the same boat. I'm Greysexual but I don't really have sexual feelings towards people. Only my fetish content can get me off and it's not in a sexual context. I've recently discovered the common denominator for all of my sexual needs are 

1. Caretaking element (Most likely due to emotional neglect as a child)
2. Safe loss of control over one's own body.

[Stimuli]

Time to "come out" as bicurious for me.

I've, for the duration of my life, tried to find where I fit in, and frankly I am far from entirely certain but heavily leaning towards being bisexual. I have not had experience enough for myself to be certain however since I grew up in a strongly conservative home and was my parents' trophy kid. 

[Elektra]

Bisexual here --I think! But what i've come to realize is for me trying to label myself has been mostly a cause of grief. We are human beings, we change over time, and as a very dear gay friend once told me : "you fall for a person, not a gender"

@Willowwhip  I agree, and also for me the fetish has blurred many lines. I guess that comes from "trying to fit in a box" part : that particular aspect of my sexuality defines it as much as anything else. So I go with Junia : no labels, let's stay open and in touch with ourselves (no pun intended)

Ditto.   I think I’m basically Ace/Aro, but then this comes in and makes me go, hmmm…where the fetish is concerned, I do feel something once in awhile, so….I get confused.    But I don’t think this is meant to be black and white.   At least I hope not.  

[chronic reader]

I’m a combination of graysexual and demisexual. I’m also bi :)

[SneezeAbbie]

I’m a lesbian ☺️

[AngelRain]

Hi! I'm bisexual and genderfluid/non-binary but AFAB.
