I do agree with a point that seems to be echoed in some of the replies: Only you know what you are ready to do and what you are ready to share. So the best "insight" I can offer you is to take some time for yourself, get a nice cup of tea, pay attention to your breathing and allow yourself to contemplate how you feel about what is going on. Give yourself time to do this, set it aside and don't allow other things to invade this time. Its all about checking in with how you are feeling about life and the questions you are asking yourself.
I will chime in a few general things: A) You are going to have a different comfort level with each person, so do not feel guilty about not talking about your relationship to certain people. Comfort and bonds take time to develop, so just know that who you may not feel comfortable talking to today may be someone you are more comfortable talking with tomorrow.
B) Most people aren't totally straight or totally gay (we are all just different shades of love). You don't need a label to love. If you feel that an identity would be helpful for you to reaffirm yourself then power to you, but you are the one who will know who you are and how you feel about titles.
So take that time with yourself, take the time to breath and allow yourself the time to contemplate. It sounds like you have lots of questions to ponder on.
