If I am attracted to the priestly life, does that mean God is calling me to be a priest?
Possibly, but not necessarily.  A man must pray a great deal, listening with both heart and soul to know what God wants him to do.  If you feel some attraction at this point, just continue to pray, go to Mass, and live a Christian life.  If you are living a Christian life, Jesus will let you know when the time comes.  Also, go talk with your parish priest or with the vocations director.  Try to come to diocesan-sponsored retreats and discernment nights.  The vocations director can help you determine if in fact God is calling you to the priesthood.
