I've said this a lot through the comic, but it's important enough to be worth repeating: there's no time limit to figuring yourself out (whether it be your sexual/romantic orientation or your gender identity). It's not a race and you don't get anything for figuring it out sooner. So, there's no need to rush or fret about it if you haven't figured things out yet, and you shouldn't feel bad if other people figured things out sooner. Everybody's different.
Speaking purely for myself, y'all probably know by now that I've basically always known I was trans (even if I didn't know the word for it). But I didn't realize I was asexual until I was about 30. The funny thing is I still remember a friend in high school suggesting I might be ace, but I denied it, and thought that couldn't possibly be me. Well, a decade and a half later, that friend turned out to be right. It's important to realize these things can take time to either realize or accept, and that's okay. So, take your time. Research. Experiment. Explore. And have fun if you can! ^_^
In Drew's case, the original point I wanted to go with for his character was to have him questioning his sexuality. His arc went in a lot of directions I couldn't exactly predict from the beginning, but to this point, the boy is ultimately still questioning, even after the whole school year. Maybe he's still got a few more years of figuring it out too. And... that's okay. That's valid. He'll get there. ^_^
