bisexual???

I might be a bisexual. But im not sure. Im attracted to other girls sometimes but it doesn't happen often. I like boys more but I've enjoyed being with girls occasionally. I would also see myself more in a relationship with a guy rather than with a girl. my attraction is purely physical. You know what i'm saying? Is there some way I can be sure? Thanks.

i think everyone goes through a phase of being unsure. i don't think you can definitely be sure, until you've..experimented?

Sexuality is one of those things noone can tell you. I can only speak from personal experience but being honest to yourself and going with your gut feeling is the best place to start.

Hey don't worry about it, I'm exactly the same. Girls can be attractive to me and I've kissed quite a few but I can't imagine being in a relationship with one. It would feel weird. I definately perfer guys but I "swing the other way sometimes". I think whether you're bisexual, gay or straight doesn't really matter. Just see yourself as someone who likes girls but prefers guys, you don't need to label yourself. Don't let it prey on your mind and don't worry about it.

don't worry about labbeling yourself just yet you'll have many mopre experiences in the future to help you make your mind up, just relax and enjoy life take it as it comes.

Shane in the L-word said it best:

"Sexuality is fluid, whether you're gay or you're straight or you're bisexual, you just go with the flow"

i've been there hun and I'm sure loads more people have too, even some of your closest friends so your not alone, just try not to worry or stress yourself out about it, you may just be bi-curious, or Bisexual, You're probably not totally Gay! Don't rush into labelling yourself, take time it will work itself out in the end!

Like I said I know what your going through so If you need to chat or anything just PM me :smile: !

Don't worry too much about putting a name to it, just do what you feel like and have fun.

Yup, ditto on a lot of the above. There's just no rushing this things, it's a lot to get your head around, so if you can't - don't worry for the time being. Just go with the flow, and enjoy it. It'll become clearer one day :smile: Good luck X

I have similar feelings, I mainly have heterosexual feelings, and can imagine myself having a relationship with girls, although I may be sexually attracted to boys too when I see them, but I could not imagine any kind of relationship between them. The weird thing is, if I see a boy I find good looking, it is focused on them, when I see a girl I find sexually appealing it is focused on her but also on my own male body in front of her...it's a bit difficult to explain. However, my "phase" has lasted about 7 years :p: and I have fantasies based around both sexes, but often it is to do with my own body...so maybe I am somewhat bisexual, but not "officially" since being bisexual would mean you could have romantic feelings for and have relationships with both sexes.

:ditto: Don't worry about it. :smile: It doesn't matter anyway as you'll never have to come out 'cos you like guys too.
