Firstly, do not worry about not having had any kisses, close-distance relationships, whatever. It's not like anybody can decide when they fall in love. It's better to start late and happily than early and regret it. If you haven't found anybody worth doing _______ (whatever it is) with, who can blame you?
Panromantic homosexuality is just as normal and acceptable as any other sexuality. If it's easier to call yourself lesbian, as it often is, then do so. If you develop feelings for a guy or girl, the best way to find out if it'd work is to be honest. Tell guys that you're not sexually attracted to men. Tell girls that you've got feelings for them. Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter (in the words of Seuss). It's not always that easy, of course, but at the end of the day it's the truth.
People that are telling you it's a phase and you'll definitely get with a guy don't know what they're talking about. You know how you feel. They can't. Don't bother confronting them about it, but don't question yourself because of them. Just stick to your guns and eventually they'll just have to get over it.
As Fictional says, LGBT groups are sure-fire ways to meet non-straight people. It can be very reassuring to be around people that will unquestioningly accept whatever sexuality you are. It's a safe place. Hopefully, you'll gain the confidence to be open about your sexuality and your feelings for other girls. You can't stop yourself falling in love. Love doesn't give a damn about sexuality. It'll hurt you more to deny it.
(Oh, and the last statistic I read on diverse sexualities said that 11% of people identify as non-straight. If you never try, you'll never know.)
Keep us posted. I wish you all the very best (:
Have a free hug.

Why be stingy? Take another.

It's gonna be okay.
