(I identify as bi/pan btw) You know if you're bisexual if you feel attraction to both girls and guys. You can still have a preference for girls or guys, but you feel attracted to people of both genders.

It's hard to figure out your sexuality, I get it. The main thing is if you are attracted to both men and women, you are bisexual.

Well depending on what gender, lets say your a female, if you’re attracted to females the same way you’re attracted to males than that could be one way. It takes a while to know, for some people it will be challanging to admit it to yourself before you tell anyone else

Do you need to know? Personally, I like who I like and I don't mind whether it concerns a boy/girl/anything in between. I know some people prefer more straightforward answers. If you're part of that last category: you even questioning if you're bi, might be part of the answer. Most people don't even think of the possibility ;).

Bisexuality is being attracted to both sexes (male and female). You don't have to like them equally, you could like boys more than you like girls and vise versa. Careful not to mis it with bicuriosity though, which is simply you are unsure of being bisexual or in experimental mode.

If you feel any motivation to kiss both genders than you may be bisexual. You can always love one gender more then the other one, and you can date men your whole life or only date woman your whole life and still be bisexual.

Well for this question its more of how you feel. And you'll know once you feel it . When I was younger I wasn't attracted to guys but I liked girls how others liked boys . And when I grew older it started to make more sense of oh hey I like this . Idk if that makes sense but it's of how you feel and love . And if you feel like no one will love you because you are bisexual or any sexuality . We all love you because you are human and you have every right to love who you love .

Generally, people define bisexuality as the experience of sexual (or romantic) feelings for two (or more) genders. If you feel like that definition fits you, I think you could define your sexuality as bisexual. It doesn't matter if this is about men, women, non-binary people or other genders. The proportion in which you like these genders can differ as well. Some bisexual people like men mostly, and woman a little. Other bisexual people might have equal feelings for women, men and non-binary people. They can all define themselves as bisexual.
Some people like labels, some don't. If you like having a word for what you're feeling, that's great. But if you don't really care about labels that's fine too.
If you have any other questions regarding this topic or would like some more explanation, please feel free to message me!

It is difficult to tell whether you are a certain sexuality. I would look at yourself and assess your feelings towards each gender over a period of time. If you find that you like both, then you a likely to be bi. Do not rush or feel the need to put yourself in a box and do what feels right. Remember, your feelings are valid. Being questioning is frustrating but you will work out your sexuality with patience. I would also recommend looking online and seeing if you identify with any bisexuals or other sexualities. The internet is a great tool to help you find the answers you want.
