Am I bisexual?

 

Check these out, too...

  • What to do if you think a friend needs help
  • Ew! My crush keeps asking me gross questions
  • Am I bi? I'm just not sure
  • GL goes to Washington: What's the deal with Prop 8?
  • GL's going quiet for the Day of Silence. Are you?

I feel like I might be bisexual, but not because I feel sexually attracted to people of the same gender, just emotionally and physically (like thinking a girl is REALLY good looking, you know?). I don't want things to get awkward with the other kids at school, but it's hard to be myself around them.
 
My friends are guys, so what if I am bisexual and they start cracking jokes or act weird around me? I tried talking to my mom, but she changed the subject after five minutes. I don't know what to do or who to talk to.
 
It sounds like you have a lot of sexual confusion, which is totally normal! Many adolescents question their sexuality. And even if you’re not bisexual, it’s normal to notice that girls are pretty, and to enjoy being around females for emotional support. That’s what friends are for!
 
It’s OK to be unsure of your sexuality, but it’s important to surround yourself with people who you can be yourself with and who appreciate you for who you are. If your guy friends don’t realize your awesomeness, then maybe ya need to make some girl friends, too. It’s good to have friends and mentors who you can talk to about this stuff, but it’s also important to talk to your parents. Sometimes moms don’t really get it the first time—try broaching the subject again or else talk to your school counselor for tips on how to chat with your parents.

yeah amyrose,
There is a difference between being a lesbian and being bi, when being a lesbian you are only attracted to and turned on by girls and being bi you are attracted to and turned on by both guys and girls. We talked about this and discussed it and because we are always shown in a sexual way like on tv and in magazines and we get to see more of our female bodies and guys and us may tend to be attracted to females more because of that. We usually dont see guys shown in sexual ways even though they show a lot of guys naked in movies and on hbo and showtime, they are just shown naked and not for "turn on" purposes, so its kind of one sided. I think things are changing so they may show us equally in sexual ways someday. And I think you can be straight and still be turned on by seeing girls. I know they show guys in sexual ways online but its not something we see everyday in public. To me its kind of complicated and I know people have different views about it.

I REALLY want (need) your advice. I don't know if I'm bisexual or not. I KNOW I'm not a lesbian, but when I see othr girls that are cute or hot (like those chicks in music videos or those waitresses at cool restaurants), I start to feel, um... happy, or pleased! I guess... However, I am also attracted to, and would only actually DATE guys! But, cacn you still be classified as bisexual if you're attracted to both sexes but would only DATE the opposite? Thank you.



Hey babe,

I'm actually the same way.  I don't really think you need to class yourself as either.  Sexuality is sexuality and doesn't always fall in just a few categories.  I consider myself straight since I would only date guys.  There's nothing wrong with finding women very beautiful, after all!

I think I might like a girl, and I really want to come out of the closet. No matter what happens, I know that my true friends will be there for me, and people who aren't were never really my friends. Problem is, I don't know how to come out. Any ideas on how to come out? Right now only my close friends know, not even most of my lunch table or any of my family.Please help. Thanks

Hi, I was just wondering, I think i might like a girl, and i want to come out of the closet, but i don't know how. Any ideas?




I so wish I could offer some great advice. Unfortunately since I’ m not an expert on the

matter, I don’ t want to point you in the wrong direction. Try having a chat with a trusted friend. I’ m sure they’ ll be more than happy to help you get things squared away.

A few of my really close friends are gay/bi. one of them came out officially, and the other came out at a sleepover recently. I havent told anyone yet, but I am also bi, and I kind of have a crush on the girl that came out recently at the sleepover, but I already know that she has a crush on someone else... now i have just been feeling like no one will ever like me that way. no guys that i have ever liked have felt the same, and now I know that even one of my close friends feels that way about another one of our friends. how do i deal with all this confusion!? its just all so frustrating!




hey! this must be very tough for you, but I went through the same thing in terms of thinking no one would like me. Before my first real boyfriend I was full of doubt that i would find someone. All my friends had little boyfriends and I really wanted one more as a status symbol and confirmation that my own insecurities were wrong. Only when I stopped wanting that and started trying to make myself happy and be my own person did I find real relationships. that's the best advice I can give you. good luck!
