Yes I am bisexual too it just seems like there were no chats that we can chat together or maybe meet someone not hinting because I am not looking what I am looking for is people to chat with that share the same thoughts that I do!

I seem to be becoming more of a lesbian every day. It's the pubescent change they forgot to mention in sex ed.

I went through that too Bloodysunset. That time of your life is absolutely filled with a flurry of emotions and emotionally situations. As I grew older I realized that I'm not bi but rather a very affectionate being (regardless of gender).
I'm a straight female, but... *points to title* :naughty: :D :p

Its annoying. I am glad you all responded and I am looking forward to chatting with you all!!

I don't choose to label myself, but I am attracted to both females and males. I used to be very proud of calling myself "bi", but now I just feel that it sticks me in yet another category. If I fall in love with a boy, I do. If I fall in love with a girl, I do. That's just how it goes. Right now, I'm in love with the most wonderful boy ever. :love: I think as I got older it got less about being able to identify myself with a particular group and more about responding to my true feelings.

Wouldn't "looking for the opposite sex" include heterosexuals too? Just askin'. Oh, and welcome to VB! :D
I am the World's Worst Lesbian. I love women but most of friends are guys and I've never even kissed a girl. Most straight women have more experience than I do. I hate being shy.

It depends on the friend and your relationship with her, but most likely it wouldn't be a good idea to ask her straight out (no pun intended). If she was bi, it would probably work out just fine, but she still might take it like you're accusing her or something. If she's straight, she could really be offended. In my opinion, the best thing to do is maybe make sure she knows you're comfortable with it (I'm assuming you are). Maybe next time the topic comes up, say something like "I really don't understand why people have such a problem about it, I mean, if one of my friends was bi or something, I wouldn't mind in the slightest, I'd just be glad they felt comfortable telling me." And remember, she may not really know if she is or not, or she may not feel comfortable letting anyone know yet, it might not be about whether she trusts *you* or not.

chances are she suspects she might be bisexual, but is uncertain how she or other people will react to that... so she makes it a joke for now, to see how it feels and to see how people react... she may try exploring that part of herself in the near future...

fwiw... I'm a hardcore, standing tall, proud gay man. I haven't seen the inside of a closet in 17 years. I defy every stereotype, (except the one about gay men being promiscuous...:tame: oh. and I do have the interior design gene... and the musical theatre gene... :) )
I love that I can be myself in my community without fear. It's nice to kiss and cuddle at the movie theatre!

Vegankat-- you are right you do not need to label yourself and I understand where you are coming from completly. I know lots of people who have strong feelings against labeling I mean you cant choose in anyway shape or form who you fall for its all in your heart. I mean I have been in love with a girl and it ended and now I am with a guy(close to ending he likes my attraction to women more then me I belive but he will never know what it is like) but I mean I agree with you totaly and I am glad you have strong opinions...:-)

and...you dont needa hehe...
I can sympathise with anyone who has had trouble with the way others think. Because for years, I've had this paranoid suspicion that my mum was worried that I'd end up being a homosexual. (She's a little bit homophobic.)
And my fears have come true. I've just talked with my sister, and apparently, she's had a few conversations with my mum where the subject of my sexuality came up, and my mum has expressed concern. Also, I guess she's worried at some telltale signs. I only recently got a girlfriend, and it's pretty much the first girlfreind I've ever had. She was really worried that I was gay simply because I never had a girlfriend, and also, I happen to be a virgin, so she was always worried that since I had passed the age of 16 and still had my virginity, that means I'm hmosexual. Not that there is anything wrong with being homosexual, but she seems to think so.
But it's annoying because my mum pretty much pushed me into any situations where there was a girl who liked me. In one case, she kept nagging me to ask her out, but I didn't feel comfortable doing so. I guess that this is one of the reasons why she thought I was gay. But I'd left all the relationships until I was 18, and she thought I was gay, simply because most "normal" boys lose their virginity at 15 years old or somehting like that.
And also, when i said that i'd got a girlfriend, the look on her face was one of relief. I can pretty much imagine her saying to herself. "Thank God he's not gay"
But the lesson is that I've pretty much experienced homophobia from my own family without even being homosexual. it's a crazy world, and I can imagine what it's like for people who aren't straight, since they have to put up with disapproval.
Anyhow, it's a weird story i had to get off my chest, and I thought it belonged here.

Both my husband and I are bi. We have allways had the belief that no matter what the sex if it is someone else you are sleeping whith that you are cheating. The first nite we met we talked for hours and He said that he was bi and I said I was to. It is funny when we see a sexy person and we both say da@# he/she is sexy.;)

I'm late..as ever!
But I'm "bi". I also don't really like the labels, but it sure makes it easier for other people.
I'm not "out" to anyone but my friends. They're great. My mum is a little..well she think's I'm a lesbian (found my top shelf mags-whoops...) and isn't too thrilled.
I can't really be bothered to correct her because in the end I can't say what I am clearly. I like so many different types of people, and their gender is just..neither here nor there.

this is a great thread. bravo to everyone for being so honest.
i guess i don't really have too much of a problem with labels for myself. they help me to define my community, both social and politicial. when i first came out i loved being defined as a lesbian because i am a very political person and it gave me such a clear place in a then very vibrant and exciting world of women's rights, gay and lesbian rights etc. as i have gotten older and more mellow, i am more politically broad i.e. working for peace and justice overall not just gay/les or women's rights. but sometimes, i do miss those fiery and fierce days of my early political activism.
i love love love women but every now and then an excellent man comes along who makes me turn my head...i'm in a longterm relationship with a woman... but we're both probably a little bi lol....
