How do you know if your bisexual?

Well, I'm a female bisexual, and it took me awhile to realize it. I think I finally realized it when I went on a school trip and there was a pride parade that weekend (it was June). I wanted to do my ace friend's makeup as the flag, and I wanted mine as the bi flag. That was when they actually asked if I was bi, and I realized that I would be okay with dating either gender. I think it just takes time to realize that you would want to be with either gender, and it can come at a different point in your life for everyone. If it's something you're really considering though, it can be helpful to just sit and think about it for while until you figure it out.

I’m trying to figure this one out myself

You begin to experience feelings towards both male and female. You don't need to love the way they look, but you can love them for who they are as a person.

I felt my bisexuality first when I realised almost all my celeb crushes are women and hence started my exploration phase. I became more aware of how girls AND guys looked and how they made me feel. Me being a tomboy also keyed in as a factor. For now, I don't label myself as bisexual, though there have been a few girls AND guys I wanted to kiss. (P.S. a trick - to figure out if your infatuation is only admiration or you DO have feelings, answer this simple question - do you want to be like that person or do you want to have sex with that person? )

Determining your sexuality can be highly confusing. Teenagers often feel a lot of pressure to choose to define themselves as being heterosexual or homosexual. You might feel that you do not fit either of these categories, and you may notice that you are 'turned on' and have sexual feelings about people of your own gender and another gender. These feelings may indicate you will identify as bisexual. Keep in mind, however, that you do not have to prove you are bisexual. There is no test for bisexuality. A bisexual person may have one committed relationship that lasts for decades. Many bisexual people have no sexual relationships or have these relationships with people of only one gender; yet, they still consider themselves bisexual. Some people have relationships with people of their own and of another gender, yet do not identify as bisexual. It all comes down to what makes you feel most comfortable and what you perceive yourself to be. Don't worry about not knowing for sure. Sexuality develops over time, and you should feel no pressure to identify in any particular way.

Honestly when it comes to things as personal as your sexuality, sometimes there is no right or wrong answer. Sexuality is a spectrum and however you feel is valid. If you think you might be bisexual, then maybe you are! If you feel comfortable with that label, then use it, however you also don’t have to label yourself as anything if you don’t want to.

When you're bisexual you may tend to have some thoughts about people of the same gender. However, when you're bisexual you might have thoughts of the opposite gender too. So basically, being bisexual means you are attracted to people of both sexes.

I'd personally describe it as a romantic/ sexual attraction towards both males and females (or to 2 different genders). So if you feel or have felt intense feelings that go beyond the ' friendship ' feeling towards both a male and a female, then I'd say that's a pretty good indicator. :)

It's different for everyone. I didn't realize I was bisexual until one of my best friends was in a prom dress. I was nervous and I kept turning red. There were other signs before that but I never really noticed.

You know because you are attracted to both girls and guys at the same time. You should pay attention to your sexual interests to understand if you are interested in both guys and girls. Remember to not deny if you are bisexual; it is important to accept yourself and love yourself no matter what! If you'd like to talk about it, just send me a message anytime! I'd be more than happy to help you understand how you are feeling about your sexual orientation. Also, you can know if you are bisexual by thinking about cuddling with a girl and then cuddling with a guy. Did you like thinking about both? Did it make you feel happy?
