Hey! I'm a pansexual, but I have had this same issue. You know how there are the stages of grief? The same goes for sexuality. It starts as something you'd never even consider. But, you often first recognize the feelings triggered by someone of the same gender. You may feel attraction. It often comes in the form of denial, but these feelings will become welcome to you over time. The final stage is understanding your labels. LABELS ARE NOT IMPORTANT. You may be bi, pan- no matter what, you should feel free to be attracted to anyone you like, no matter their gender.

You can look at pictures of both men and women, or just spot them on the streets, and think to yourself: "would I kiss this person? Would I want to date this person? Would I want to do romantic things with this person?" and other questions like that. If this doesn't work for you: You don't necessarily have to put a label on yourself. You can tell people you -might- be bisexual, or you can just say you're still questioning. Because in the end you'll probably fall in love with someone one way (and gender) or another.

Sometimes sexuality can be really confusing because everything isn't black and white but basically if you are sexually and/or romantically attracted to both females and males you are bisexual. It could be that you are 80% attracted to females and only 20% attracted to males or vice versa, it doesn't have to be even at all.

While the only person who can know for sure is you, there are a couple questions you can ask yourself. Are you attracted to same sex, in addition to the opposite sex? Feeling attracted to both is a sign that you may be bisexual. During this time though, feelings are crazy and confusing and it's hard to figure them out. They also can constantly change, leaving you more confused. Don't feel any pressure to put a label on anything right now, unless you want to. Good luck :)

bisexuality is a very broad term, it took me a few years to come to terms with myself, don't feel pressured to be 50/50 in how much you like boys/girls, it's possible to like boys only 5 percent and girls the rest, or vice versa. Also try to keep in mind that it's possible to like agendered people and girls and still be bisexual. Its not strictly boys/girls. I hope this helps.

If you feel some kind of attraction, romantically or sexually towards both male and females. People often feel a stronger attraction towards one gender than the other, everyone is different.

You know if you know. I know some people may not be quite sure but if you think you may be bisexual then ask yourself if you have even the slightest liking to the same sex or different sex. If you do, you may be bisexual, and that is okay! This is coming from someone who isn’t really sure yet if I am bisexual or not but I believe I am because although I have a preference towards men, I also like women. If you have a preference towards one sex it doesn’t mean you are straight, it just means you have a preference, and that is fine. Just trust your instincts and make your own decision on whether you are bisexual or not, because you can’t judge your sexuality by reading comments like these on the internet. Although the internet is helpful, I used it too, trust yourself and what you think before you make a decision on your sexuality.

You like both the female and male gender. Not 50% each, but can be example - 80% and 20%. It doesn’t matter what the percentages are

My personal experience is that I have had multiple crushes on both guys and girls. In the past I have had two boyfriends (exes now), but I recently discovered that I would like to have a girlfriend. I tend to have a preference for girls now but I know that in the past I have experienced crushes on both genders. I identify as biromantic, but that might well change in the future as I discover myself because do we ever really stop discovering things about ourselves?
