If you think that you are bisexual, ask yourself how do you feel about each gender. Do you find yourself attracted to one or both? Do you think you could enter a relationship with either gender? Do you think that you could find yourself open about this with someone of the same sex or opposite? Do research and see if that helps you identify!

It might be a long process in order to discover you are attracted to both genders, you know when you notice you are attracted to both males and females and most important when you can see yourself building a life with any of them

If you're curious don't be scared to experiment. If you don't like it that's okay and if you do that's okay too. How else are you suppose to find out? Don't worry about what people think. You only have one life, don't be scared to live it.

If you feel like or know that gender does not have any or high influence over your sexual and romantic attraction, that's how you know you're bisexual. Now, by this I mean you are not attracted to just on gender, but two or more genders. For some people, when they feel attracted to more than two genders, they may label as Pansexual and not Bisexual. Some may label as Pansexual because they feel like Bisexuality ignores or erases transgender, non-binary, agender, and intersex people based on the textbook definition of bisexuality. However, depending on how you choose to define bisexuality; either two genders or multiple genders, this does not have to be true. So in short, if you feel like you are attracted to two or more genders, that is how you can know you are Bisexual, or if you want to label as such, Pansexual.

If you feel it in your heart that you like two genders (whatever those genders are), then you're bisexual. There's really no test you can put yourself through or any way anyone else can tell you. You only can tell yourself what you're feeling.

I am bisexual myself. It feels so right whenever I make hearts with my eyes with a fellow woman the same way my flutter with a guy.

If you've felt sexual attraction towards both females and males, you're bisexual. If you've felt your heart flutter when talking to both genders.

Do you like girls romantically and sexually? Do you like boys romantically and sexually? If you answered yes to all of those questions, you are a bisexual. If you like other genders besides boy and girl, then you are pansexual. If you don't like any gender sexually, you are an asexual. If you only like any people in a more friendly way and prefer platonic relationships then you are aromantic.

Sexuality is hard and confusing. I wish that I could give you a clear cut answer, but only you can really decide and decipher what your own feelings are. You don't have to know right away, take your time and try to sort out your own feelings of attraction, like what it feels like to you, and who you have been attracted to. Talk to and read stuff written by people who are bisexual, see what you do or do not relate to. Do research. I wish you luck on your journey, and I want you to know that even though it might seem scary, you will find people who are supportive, and it is really good and okay to be bi.
