    Hey everyone. So, where to start. Sorry this will be kind of long...so I apologize.

    Ever since I was young I was into boys and girls. I was absolutely boy crazy, but I would read stories in this book that I had about girls being with girls (the book was Deal With It from Gurl). I liked reading the 'when girls like girls' section. When we got the internet I was about 7, and I was in the chat rooms (yeah that young) and I would chat with women and men. I had 'boyfriends' but I also remember my best friend coming over, somehow we ended up making out and messing around. I ended up telling my friends I was bi, but somehow that blew over and no one really remembers it. The girl I made out with and myself stopped being friends, she's a full blown lesbian now and very out. I myself have always identified with straight or usually a kinsey 3. However, none of my relationships with men ever work out, I get bored so easily, but I just don't get along with girls so I never thought I could be bi, I can't stand most girls really, so there's no way I could date one I thought. I grew up with gay friends, gay family member and I am a HUGE LGBT advocate, and I have always really known deep down I am bi but, I don't know. Never acknowledged it.

    So now here I am, after taking everything in I have come to the conclusion I am definitely bi. Girls as so sexy to me, I love watching shows with lesbian couples, I have always had more girl celebrity crushes than men (Joan Jett, Brody Dalle (The Distillers), Mila Kunis...yum). I have a couple close friends/co-workers that are bi, and one of them and myself flirt constantly at work. They've asked me if I'm bi and I've always said no. I wish I hadn't now, this is honestly the first time since I was young that I have said it, I am bi. I like girls.

    I don't know where to go from here, I have a guy that I'm dating, but I'm not 100% happy, but I never am. I want to let some people know, but I'm scared, and that surprises me because I shouldn't be...it is intimidating.

    Tl;dr I am bi, after years of knowing it, I finally admit it and accept it. I just don't know if I want to really come out.

    Thanks for the reply. That girl is hot though. That's how I know I'm bi, I'd do devilish things to her haha.

    Hey, we've already talked through wall messages, but I wanted to welcome you officially because I noticed you were pretty new. Welcome to EC~ :3

    My best friend is bi and she actually struggles with dating too. She hates it too because she doesn't want to be a stereotype, but she often feels like when she's with a girl that she wants to be with a guy and vice versa. Very fully satisfied with any relationship.

    Even though I'm gay, I've never had a relationship with a girl before. I've kissed and made out with girls before, so I know how you feel there. It wasn't until two years ago that I actually finally accepted that I even liked girls. Most of my dating and sexual experience is with men, which I didn't completely mind--which made coming to terms with my sexuality even more confusing. I'm actually panromantic, so I don't mind dating men and I don't find men sexually gross. I'm just not nearly as into them as I am girls. I consider myself a Kinsey 5.

    Not sure why I went on a rant like that... Anyway, welcome again to EC and I hope you find many friends. :slight_smile:

    Thank you ^_^ appreciate it.

    I really more identify with pansexual more than bi, because I'm not exclusive to female and male, I have and would be totally fine with being with someone that's trans too. It's all about the person to me.
