    Basically the situation I'm in is I don't care who I sleep with, but I could only see myself in a long-term relationship with another woman. It's possible to be bisexual/pansexual while being homoromantic, right? Help...

    Yes, I do believe it is possible to be more romantically or sexually attracted to one sex over the other. Sexuality is a very fluid thing. Most bisexuals will also often lean towards one sex over the other. As for myself, for example, I see myself more in a romantic relationship with guys as opposed to girls, but that's not to say that I would never get into a romantic relationship with a girl. As for the sexual attraction, I can't really say there being as I don't exactly feel sexual attraction very much...Lol.

    Bottom line is, yes I do believe it's possible. There are many bisexuals/pansexuals on this site even that identify as homoromantic or heteromantic.

    I hope that helped a little :slight_smile:

    It seems pretty widely accepted if you ask me, but there are people who think that sexual and romantic attractions go hand in hand and therefore the whole -romantic label is "unnecessary". I personally think it's possible to be bi/pansexual and homoromantic, though the most important thing is that you feel comfortable with your labels. Don't let anyone speak for how you feel or do not feel, only you can know. Or maybe you don't really know, and that's totally cool, too. We don't need to be 100 % certain about our sexual/romantic interests anyway, if we find somebody we like then that's all that matters, right?

    Thanks guys :slight_smile:
    Trouble is I'm 110% certain on the romanticism (female/feminine people only thanks so much) it was just the complete lack of sexual preference that was bugging me a little.

    Hi from Auckland!
    I think it is. I haven't figured myself out entirely, but I think my preference is for guys emotionally and girls sexually.
    I don't hear about this situation much so was glad to see your post.
