Hey everybody!
I asked this question before and I really got some good answers, and some had me thinkin. So i am going to be more specific.
I am a 14yr old boy who likes girls (typical). But just over the summer i knew i was bi. right now in october i still like other
boys and i have a crush on one too! however i still like girls as in
emotionally and socially, but i like boys for all 3 emotional, social, and sexually. i would still go with a girl, but i prefer a boy because it's something diffrent. i think i know i'm gay but i still need to know if i should just be completly gay and forget girls!?!

That's like me waking up in the morning and saying: 'Today I will like peppers.' It's never going to happen. Over time maybe your feelings will change, right now, just go with your heart and what you think is right. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]

Now, heres my opinion. You can't just say, should I give up girls? It's deeper then that. You don't have to be forced into being stright or gay. Being bi is totally fine. Even being bi till you've discovered yourself a little bit more. I have a friend who was bi for about a year untill he realised he really wasn't physicaly attracted to girls. I say experament untill you feel comfortable and I think if you are bi you will feel comfortable in either a gay or stright relationship. My last suggestion is just listen to yourself and try to understand youself.

*Q. What does it mean to be bisexual?
*A. Being bisexual means that you experience a sexual bond and attraction with both men and women. A bisexual person is comfortable having sexual encounters or relationships with members of either sex.
*Q. How Do I Know If I'm Gay?
*A. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to determine if you are gay. There are no scientific tests or sterotypes that determine your sexuality. You will find out through experience and feelings.
Most define being gay as having a strong bond or sexual attraction to another man. Others define it as a lifestyle which includes behaviors and social interactions.
You should ask yourself several questions about your sexuality and sexual preferences. Do you prefer sex with a man? Are you physically attracted to men? Do you feel an emotional bond with a man? Would you consider an intimate relationship with a man?
Try not to fall into the trap of stereotypes. Gay men are just as diverse as straight men. There are no mannerisms, music or clothing preferences that can define a person as gay.
S_C answered Tuesday October 26 2004, 3:16 pm: Whether or not you want to be completely gay is up to you. If we were to be using names, then I would say that you are bisexual, and that you can date whoever you please. If you want to date a man, date a man. If you want to date a woman, date a woman. I don't like to use the terms gay, straight, and bi, because it's just putting people in a category, and that is usually a bad thing for people put in the wrong category. Date whoever you feel attracted to. To tell you the truth, I don't think anyone is ever completely gay, because, for one of the dictionary defintions, it says gay is happy, and it's impossible to be happy 24/7. And then for the term you mean, well still, even gay girls find guys attractive, and even gay guys find woman attractive, it's called hormones, and they never go away.
It's really up to you to decide your sexual relations, a bunch of strangers can help you figure out the answer, but not help you get the final answer, for you my friend, the final answer is what you feel in your heart. Good Luck with this. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
BedtymeCarebear01 answered Tuesday October 26 2004, 3:00 pm: Well, I am bisexual and I have a leaning more towards girls yet I have a boyfriend whom I am very serious with and plan on marrying. I think you should just stay bi and go out with anyone you want to. If your feeling stronger towards guys, then go for the guys. But if you still have a feeling about dating a girl or you still would then it does hurt right?. There is no problem with staying bisexual and just dating who you want, look on the bright side.. us bisexuals have better chances and more chances than anyone because we can date from either sex lol. That is not something everybody can say or be into so just be yourself and date who you want to. I wouldnt forget girls because someday down the road you might end up wanting to be back with one. The onlky way id say go completely gay is if you had no other feelings for girls, but since you do still hav some feelings for them, just stay bi and live it up!.
