    Congratulations! Those are great steps and a great attitude. Although it was scary and at times still is, accepting myself felt so good. I realized most of my fear is what other people thought, I actually liked being gay.

    Move on. I don't know you but there are other fish in the sea.

    I am fine in my own skin but often wonder if in a truly non-judgmental world I would be more openly bi. What is the bottom line with your male friend? If it is done you are far too young to keep yourself chained to him. Your dilemma really is no different than where an individual in a hetero match falls for another opposite sex individual...except for the difficulty with the awkwardness of coming out.

    you may wish to seek counseling or support from other members of this group. The ONLY mistake you are making is your holding on to this woman. She is not available.

    goid luck

    I understand what you are saying and you are right, there may be plenty of fish... But I am not ready to.


    I have joined some dating apps to meet new people but it's not the same.


    I don't know how anyone can just forget about someone they like just by saying move on?
    Maybe if i didn't know her it would be different but it wasn't.

    However... I am a hopeless romantic...
    I am content to continue to like or love my crush and only time will tell when I'm ready to move on.

    It's been almost 2 months since I wrote that post...

    Plus I have a lot of other things going on so dating isn't a priority. I am in therapy for various other things... no doubt this will eventually come up.

    I am not married to the one woman who could have placed a ring in my nose and led me anywhere. She was a broken woman and I do not think I would have had the ability to fix her but she was precious to me and twelve years later, married to a wonderful woman I still reflect wistfully on what could never have happened.

    In other words, good luck.
