Unsure...Please help

Okay, Well I'm not sure if I'm bi or not...This is really hard for me because my family is all straight and I feel like I'm the odd one out if I am bi...Here is my story.
I have a few friends and they are bi and for me it's really easy to spot. Lately I have been having the strangest dreams about me and my friend holding each other through the night. I haven't seen her in forever. Then I am starting to develop what I seem to call "un-natural" feelings for another girl. Today these guys were making fun of her and calling her "lesbo" she then responded and said "I'm not a lesbian I'm bi". This is how I found out she's bi. For some weird reason though I was strangely happy about this. Is this normal? I'm not sure I have A LOT of non-straight friends and they are great and I treat them like I would anyone else. What should I do? I think that I should give it a little more time-but, what if I miss out on a opportunity? This is the first time I've ever posted something about my sexuality and I'm really confused...Please help me, tell me advice, stories, or anything you think will help...

 

Are you in your early teens? You may be still trying to establish your true sexuality. When I was 15 I came out as bisexual and I got alot of crap for it too, alot of judgement and so forth and now I'm a lot older I still sometimes get off at the thought of sexual contact between 2 girls or even just a girl, I mean I'll admit I LOVE guys and I prefer them and I couldn't see myself marrying a woman, it would just feel too strange for me.

Maybe try experimenting a bit more and see what feels right for you and if you are comfortable with it then maybe you can start with dating then slowly move forward to a relationship and I know it's more common these days for same sex couples to walk around but like it or not you’re GOING TO get judged either way it’s just up to you as to how you’re gonna deal with that. If you find you cannot deal with it then keep your thoughts and feelings on the low down, you can still have a relationship just not one that consists of constant PDA.

You will have to come out sooner or later and with parents (depending on what kind of parents they are) most of them may see it as a phase, it’s usually peers and people at school that will give you the hard time because unfortunately that’s what kids do, kids are cruel and all you have to do if you want this to work is to ignore all the putdowns.

With your old friend you can always try approaching her and telling her how you feel but first off starting with “I’m bisexual too, so I know how you feel” if she’s your friend you can trust her too to keep it on the lowdown and because you guys can relate to each other it may spark some kind of connection or stronger friendship, but if she is not up for any kind of relationship then don’t push it onto her – it’s difficult in this kind of situation, just remember you’re still trying to figure out who you are and regardless of what anyone thinks, no matter how you turn out don’t let anyone try to change you or pressure you to change.

 

Thank you very much! You really helped me! I almost told my mom today but I threw away the thought when I got too scared because I don't want her to suspend me of all activities with all of my other friends that are girls....It's fine though! I guess I'll just wait a while and see. Thanks again!
