Putting a label on yourself is not what's most important. It is to have strong connections with both sexes and not just limiting yourself to one. To see beyond body parts but for who they are. Man or woman, both an attraction to you.

By definition, a bisexual is attracted to both men and women sexually. You don't have to have had a sexual experience with either gender to verify your sexuality but its generally the sexual attraction to both men and women. It's something that you just know about yourself. It's not anything you have to be told. It's also perfectly normal.

I'm not sure what my bisexual is meant to be, the question seems incomplete somehow- what about my bisexuality? Weather it is natural?
If you meant "How do you know if you're bisexual?" It would make more sense so I am going to go with that.
Bisexuality would be apparent if you had sexual feelings for both sexes. It doesn't have to be equal 50-50 of both (in fact it is said that most people fall into some sort of a spectrum rather than being 100% homosexual or heterosexual). While some people use bisexuality to explore, it doesn't mean that you "haven't decided" or "need to pick a side" or any of those things. Just do what comes naturally to you, but remember to also respect others boundaries while you do so.

A bisexual individual is part of the LGBT+ community. A bisexual individual can be attracted to both the same and opposite sex. If you feel attracted to both the same and opposite sex, regardless of 'how much' you are attracted to them, then you are bisexual.

There is no one way to know . It really is just about following your heart and seeing where it takes you.

It can be hard to figure out your sexuality. There are ways you can figure it out though. Even through simple things such as looking at the same sex when they wear something revealing, developing strong feelings for the same sex. Seeing the same sex in tv shows or movies and having little crushes on them. But at the same time, still liking the opposite sex in that way.

There is no better way to know by exploring different relationships and developing ones own knowledge through gaining some experience. I have been gender fluid and pansexual for years now and I find that sometimes I prefer men and sometimes I prefer women, and sometimes there is not a preference. It takes time and there is no right or wrong way of self identifying.
