No need to apologize.

We all have different "tastes" in who may be attractive. That is a good thing, otherwise we may all be hovering around just one girl. That would not be good.

I respect differences. I am both a Boy and Girl Lover. Some of my real-life friends only like boys. No big deal. One of my friends only likes girls. No big deal. I like red hair and freckles (blue or green or brown eyes); another friend is turned off by red hair and freckles. Good. I don't have to worry about him hitting on girls or boys I like.
