many different ways. its very much the same as knowing you are straight, if you feel a romantic/other attraction toward both genders along with feeling the potential to be more than friends then thats usually an indicator.

If you are attracted to both males and females and find them sexually attractive too. If you think you might be bisexual but are not sure, then maybe ask yourself whether you would like to be that person or be with them. Sometimes heterosexual females can think they are into girls when maybe they want to be like them. You could even be biromantic, which is liking to be romantic with both female and males, and not being interested in the sex part.

Well, you'll know if you feel attracted to the same sex, try thinking about the same sex in a different way. If you already do then yes, you could be bisexual! And that's great 😠but you could also be pansexual or gay, just give yourself time to figure it out. Experiment!

Personally, I struggled with figuring this out as well. For me, I knew I was bisexual when I actually started dating a girl for the first time. I had always questioned it before then.

If you're bisexual then you feel attracted to both men and women, you'll also feel a sexual attraction to them.

Hi, I may be able to help with this question as I am bisexual myself :) Bisexual is a sexual orientation where you feel sexually attracted to both the same and opposite gender. There’s no set way to ‘know’ if you’re bisexual and people can find out in different ways. Just know that it’s okay to experiment with your sexuality and that you don’t ever have to even label yourself. Love is love!

There's no real test to show sexuality, it's how you feel. It is okay if you are, or if you are not.

It can take a while, but the main thing is if you feel like you're attracted to two genders, then it's likely you're bisexual. Remember there's no shame in labelling yourself as something and then realising that that label doesn't fit your identity perfectly after all!

Well, i feel that just depends on the person asking. Do you often feel like you’re attracted to both sexes? It doesn’t have to be both romantic and (excuse me if i am over stepping some boundaries) sexually. You can be attracted to one gender romantically, but the other sexually? And it doesn’t have to strictly be a 50-50 attraction to both male and females, it could be 70-30, or even 40-60. Either way, you are completely valid with what you feel. No matter who tells you what.

Bisexuality is the attraction to members of both sexes. You don't need to be split 50/50 between the two. So if you feel attraction to two genders then chances are you're bisexual
