I want to start telling people that I'm Bi but everytime I've told someone I can't seem to think of a better way to say it than just to say, really bluntly-'I'm Bi'.
Can anyone thing of a more subtle way of telling people?
Additional info, added Monday March 29 2004, 6:06 am: Hmm,my boyfriend is Bi as well, just FYI.
The grapevine is being particularly slow. It seems that in 6th form people are more tolerant and less gosspiy, believe it or not.
I don't want to tell my family yet, they're just getting used to the idea of me having a boyfriend, let alone the possibility of a girlfriend in the future.

Best of luck to you.

You souldn't care what ppl think and if your friends ditch you because you are bi their not ture friends! Just say hey i am bi what do you rhink about that? if they have a nasty comment... screw them. [ Bunny101's advice column | Ask Bunny101 A Question ]

Just come out and say it, and if somene doesnt understand you, try saying something like "i think i might be interested in someone other than so n so, and its not a guy.." or "i like girls as well as guys"
Something like this should get someone to understand you. I've told many people and its gotten out to others, some seem to understand and not care, and others act like i dont exist, like they dont care about me, like they've never did.. but the only thing i can say, is do whats best, with the people you trust.
:)- hope this helps!

Perhaps just saying "I like both sexes", or "I find both girls and boys sexually attractive", it may not be as much of an eye-opener. Good luck :) [ endilwen's advice column | Ask endilwen A Question ]
homesickalien answered Tuesday March 23 2004, 1:01 pm: You don't need to necessarily tell people at all if you're uncomfortable about it...they'll find out through the grapevine eventually because that's what people do - talk about each other. But if you want to tell close friends I'd just tell them. If they're really your friends they'll respect you for being so honest and like who for who you are. Also make sure to quash any of their pre-conceived notions and stereotypes and answer anything they may ask you. [ homesickalien's advice column | Ask homesickalien A Question ]
