Hi folks, This is really for any of you that used to be in the closet, how old were you when you got into your first real relationship? And how many of you came out simply came out because you wanted to find someone? (thats why i did )
I guess it all depends on how you define "real" relationship. I was 17 when I had my first boyfriend, but neither of us was very out.
I came out when I was 18 b/c, at the time, I thought that being gay was a significant enough part of who i was... (which is prolly b/c all of my friends were girls and I wanted to join in on the conversations about boys)... but ya, i definitely wanted a relationship. Oh snap I forgot that this was only last year... haha I'm almost 20 now and I still haven't been in a real relationship. Though I don't really care as much. I don't want to find a relationship - I want to find someone interesting.
I was about 15 when i think i realized I was bi... I kind of liked boys, but I remember when i saw the Russian group TaTu and thought "That's right!!" It clicked for me. i knew somewhat about homosexual men, but not really women. Once I saw that women could be with other women, i was really happy, because it seemed so beautiful to me.
