I've been realizing that my bisexuality isn't a phase,and I just want to tell my parents or someone who lives with me or someone!I wanna tell them,but I fear they'll think bad of me or think I'm just gay,and that being bi is an excuse*even though I've dated girls before T_T*for being gay.So to all the bisexuals,or even homosexuals,how did you come out?
P.S.
I think I love this guy,and I know he loves me,but I couldn't tell my mom :(.My dad thinks you're either gay or straight,and noone is bi/pan.

When I came out I basically got a LOT of jokes :/ I told some friends, but I'm really open with it now so my whole school knows.
As for the guy you love, go for it :) the key to life is happiness!!

I want to go for it,but I don't wanna people to label me.I'm also afraid if we didn't work out,if the girls[I'm a little more into girls,he is an exception ^^] would be cool with dating someone who is bi.

The girls that I knew didn't mind, or at least the ones I liked. Keep in mind the kind of girl that is so bothered about bisexuality that they won't go out with someone they would have gone out with otherwise probably isn't the kind of girl you would want to date anyway.
PS: I'm kind of the same with the liking girls more than guys, I guess it's just due to there being less cute guys than cute girls :L

Truth is: people are going to label you, and in fact you've already labelled yourself as Bisexual. If you tell everyone you're Bisexual, you're giving them something to label you with.
I can't be sure what girls would think of a bisexual guy, but I really don't think they'd have any problem. If the girl found you attractive, and you found her attractive, there's very little chance she'd keep away because you're into guys too. The key fact that you can always bring up if people call you gay or don't trust that your Bi is that you do like girls. If you tell them that and they don't believe you or respect you, how mature are they? What does that say about them?
You shouldn't come out unless you're totally prepared for people asking questions and maybe being a little confused. To be honest it's much harder for a gay guy or a lesbian girl because people often find homosexuality a lot harder to understand. I don't think people will judge you, and if they do, like I said earlier: what does that say about them? By all means take the step and come out, but you have to be prepared for people labelling because they always will. I'm happy for people in my year at school to know I'm gay, and the majority do. If you do it the right way and don't throw yourself in people's faces flaunting your sexuality, they just won't care. All my friends are totally accepting, even if there are some other people in my year who I'm not really friends with who aren't.
This is a life changing step, so make sure if you do go for it that you're ready and not jumping the gun. It'll be very hard to turn around one day and say that you were mistaken and are actually heterosexual if you come out. To end on a positive note here, coming out does 'set you free' in a way because it makes you feel like you can be yourself and don't have to hide. There are pros and cons to coming out, like with everything, but you can relieve a lot of tension by doing so. I think seeing as you're basically in a relationship because you've talked of a boy you love who loves you, it might be a good idea to tell a few people before someone you don't want to finds out and outs you rest of your year/school.
I'll happily reply again if you've got any more queries or concerns. :)
