I had a crush on a girl named Melissa when I was 6. I'm pretty sure I wanted to kiss her. My guess is that if I had a crush on a boy name Matt, I would have figured out I was gay as soon as I learned about adults that were.

That said, at 7yo, IMO it's a possibility that the kid might find that he like girls or maybe even both boys and girls as he gets older. It's hard to remember what it is to be a 7yo, but I recall that ideas were pretty open-ended and whimsical.
