Sexual Orientation Help. Am I Bisexual?

[CrossingtheCourtyard]

I'd like to ask for a bit of advice/help:

I am a sixteen year old male and I think that I may be bisexual.

Ever since I was a kid I found guys attractive. There's something equally appealing about guys as there are to girls. I won't go into details since that's probably unnecessary but from a young age, I found them attractive. It only started bothering me once I knew more about the stigma of 'being gay' and when those attractions seemed more prominent (on par, perhaps with feelings towards girls) in middle school-ish years that it bothered me.

I think I'm more bothered by the idea of being seen differently than I am bothered by the idea of liking guys.

I find women attractive as well, and can see myself in a romantic relationship easier with one than I can a guy. Maybe it's because there's not a stigma attached to that, but there's something special about girls as well, and again I don't think the details are necessary to go into. I've always felt a similar attraction to girls, just without the whole 'taboo' feeling.

Sooo, physically speaking I find both genders attractive. I'm just as likely to think 'Hey, that girl is really cute' as I am to think 'Hey, he's hot.'

Emotionally/romantically speaking, I have had fantasies (romantic and sexual), and crushes, on people of both genders.

Things seem really simple in my head, I'll think "So I like girls and guys, what's wrong with that?" It's only when I'm back in the real world that, when I think of being a bisexual person that things seem difficult, weird and dirty, maybe just because I think I'll be treated poorly.

So, I guess what I want to know is, what do you think? Is it likely I am bisexual? Have you gone through something similar?

(I'm not overly worried about my family's response to whatever my orientation is, in case any one is wondering. That's not really a factor)

from what you have stated in your post it does sound like your bisexual

[Harley Quinn]

Only you know what you are, no one can tell you it. You have to find it within yourself.

[Tristin.]

from what you have said, i would say you were bi.

as to the problems you raised. your family, even though it may take time for them to adjust, will always love you for who you are.

if you need to talk, mail me x

My family will... probably be okay with it. I know some of them may already think I am. Others don't think bisexuality exists, and would probably prefer I just "choose one" (the problem is, I don't want to. I like both.), but they'd probably learn to deal with it.

The biggest problem is probably myself. Just have to try and sort things out, I suppose.

You are probably Bi-Curious. And yes there is a such thing. It is normal for someone to explore all options. You are what you want to be. Don't let others decide who you are for you. That is your job.

seems bi to moi...

[Somebuddy]

Sounds like your bi (I'm kinda going through the same thing)

[CrossingtheCourtyard]

seems bi to moi...

Yes, I suppose it does.

Well, in all honesty, I suppose I am bisexual. I've come out to one person--a close friend of mine--but no one else yet. Nor do I plan to right away.
