First Boyfriend

[Brice]

So... I'm almost 16 years old and bisexual and I'm in my first relationship with a guy. I'm having trouble calling him my boyfriend though. I really like him and want to be able to call him what he is but I just can't make myself say it. How do you get used to calling someone that when its your first homosexual relationship?

If you love him, that is all that should count. Gay relationships are hard to deal with and understand sometimes. Especially because you are so new to this, you want to take it slow and probably respect him more. I'm sure eventually you will address him as your boyfriend, but if right now you don't want to say the word, you don't have to.

Celt is speaking a truth here, hes hit it right on the head with this good point. I agree

Yup^

It feels weird and alien at first. I was uncomfortable with it for ages because of the homophobia I encountered in fmy dad to day life, but after a while out relationship grew., became more comfortable and after a while didn't even care, called him it without even thinking.

I'm sure the same will happen for you.

If you are truly in love with him it will come. You just need to get past the initial weird feeling, the more you do it the more comfortable you'll get with calling him your bf.
