Secondly, is it a matter of not finding these particular women interesting per se, or generally not being romantically interested in women?

Thirdly, since it sounds as though you're deeply (and understandably) unsure of your own feelings, and if you expect that your family's reaction will be damaging to you, then it might be wise to wait before telling them, at least until you're more certain about yourself.

Do you have a close friend in whom you might confide? An anonymous forum like DU can be a useful sounding board but is a clumsy tool for intensive self-examination.

Best of luck in any case.
