What does it mean if I don't really feel attracted to either gender?

Question

I'm still fairly young, but it just doesn't seem.. right, I guess?

As a kid, when I was still in public school, I had one crush; it was on a boy, but it quickly dissolved after I moved grades. Simple school crush. Since then, I had only experienced one other such infatuation, and it was when I was eleven.

In general, though, I don't feel attracted to anyone. I can find people cute, sure, attractive, and I can appreciate a good figure, but no real attraction. There's certain.. well, desires I experience, but I don't get any pleasure from sating them with another person. The thought itself doesn't really appeal to me. I've thought about it, sure, but it ultimately doesn't sound.. good.

I can't say I have everything figured out for myself here, obviously, and I'm just looking for a little guidance. All help is appreciated, and please, only serious answers.

You don't say how young you are, but I wouldn't stress about it too much. Sexuality is something that (nowadays, fortunately) doesn't have to fit into this neat little box of heterosexual or homosexual. You may find things change as you grow older or have new experiences. It's possible you'll find yourself in situations that will help you sort out what works for you. Try to be open to new experiences and go from there. If you find it stressful or frustrating, hopefully you have at least one person in your life you trust and can speak with. There are also some good professional supports out there if you feel like counselling might be something you want to pursue.
