It's a case of self exploration, it's perfectly natural to question your sexuality we all do at some point. I'd say be open to all genders, if you find someone of the same sex attractive then give it a try, you'll either like it or not. If you do then there's no need to label yourself, just do you. Sexuality is fluid and ever changing, you may be interested in all genders one day and then decide your preference lies elsewhere. As long as you're happy it shouldn't matter.

If you feel attracted to both men and women, you're bisexual. Finding out what genders you're attracted to is the easiet if you think about what gender your crushes were by now. The only way to find out if it's a phase is to wait.

I really was a college student, even though it didn't last forever— you can be bisexual for now and then not be bisexual later. You'll know it's a phase if sometime in the future you are only attracted to men or women, or however else your sexuality might express itself. You'll know it's not a phase if it lasts your whole life :)

To figure out your sexual identity, you must seek out new relationships and meet new people, maybe feel around see what attracts you and what does not attract you, why do you feel one way over the other. If you like people based off of there personality than your bisexual if you don't care about there gender. If you are only attracted to the opposite gender or the same than you may not be bisexual. It is really based off ones personal experience, you should test the waters and see if you like it. And if you don't it's not a huge deal, you don't have to label yourself to find someone you love and care about.

That's a good question! Firstly, it can help relieve some of the pressure of figuring yourself out if you remember that identifying as bisexual really might just be a phase! That doesn't make the experiences you gain any less real or valid! You will have figured out what you like, what you don't, and who you are! If you are bisexual, there's a good chance that you can look back at your childhood and find plenty of examples of moments when you felt attraction to both genders! Maybe you thought some girl was really pretty, and some guy had really nice eyes. That's valid! It can also help to experiment! As long as you use protection!!
