So I think and feel that I'm bisexual but I don't want to label myself as bi because I'm only 17 and haven't really been in love yet, what should I do? Do I come out to/tell others if I'm not sure?

don't come out until you're ready! if you're unsure of your sexuality, then wait until you're comfortable labeling yourself, and don't come out until you feel as though you're ready.

You can always tell them exactly what you feel: that you’re -probably- bisexual. You can also choose to only bring it up when the subject is brought up and/or when you’re asked about it.

Your sexual preferences are entirely your own. It is not something that you need to inform persons of. Take the time to truly understand what you identify with and when you are confident of that, if you feel led to do so share it but there is no rush

If you feel a connection and both emotional attracted to them and sexually attracted to both men and women then for sure. But if you feel more confident trying out new things. With the gender you have not yet. Then you could always try it out. Then come out when you are ready.

I understand. It can be difficult figuring out what you believe your sexuality is. I promise, with a little help, you’ll figure out the answer. If you think you’re bi, there is no reason for you to have to go out and tell everyone. you don’t need to tell a single soul until you think it’s right. like i said before, it can be difficult deciding on the first place. you really don’t have to worry about it. i’m sure if you did tell people they would 109% accept you for who you are. I hope you figure out your path.

My daughter wasn't sure as a teen and she told me she was bicurious. So maybe you're bicurious. Take time to figure yourself out first and then go from there. At seventeen you're supposed to still be figuring things out. And you are definitely not going to be the same person at twenty seven or thirty seven. Give yourself time to grow into life. what's the rush. And I could have answered this in seventy words but its making me turn it into a hundred word post so the last twenty five words are just to all the quota.

you don't have to tell people unless you want to, just as you don't have to come out unless you want to. it is always hard to put a label on something and much harder to put a label on ourselves. there is no book or how to decide I'm bisexual guideline. maybe u could explore these feelings. I bet it is confusing for you. but the best way to do this is by experimenting in my opinion to better understand the emotions you are having. on the topic of coming out, loved ones will support you regardless of your sexuality so whether you come out to them or not they will always be there right by your side :).

If you don’t want to label yourself yet, don’t label yourself yet. Labels can be helpful, but they are by no means necessary or right for everyone at every time. It’s totally valid to not have a label yet or ever. Also, remember that labels are by no means binding. If you label yourself bisexual now, it doesn’t mean you can’t change how you identify if you discover more about yourself.
As for telling others, if you want to and feel comfortable doing so, you could. You don’t necessarily need to say for sure you’re bisexual, instead you could say you’re thinking you might be bi or that you’re questioning your sexuality. That said, you by no means have to come out. That’s information that is personal and you shouldn’t feel obligated to tell anyone if you don’t want to.
