Can TV make me bi?

Quick question, although I could go on and on and on and on..alright you get the point.

I started watching The L Word during the writers strike cause nothing else was on. And now I'm completely up to speed - seen all 5 seasons. I find it pretty entertaining overall, but that's not really the point.

The point is, ever since I started watching that show, I've noticed women more and more. Or should I say - I see them in a completely new light. I've never been with a woman, and I've always considered myself straight. I'm just really, really curious now, to say the least, to be with a woman. I even talked to some of my friends about it, and they say I should just go for it. Problem is, I have no clue how to!

Let me clarify for you - it isn't just the glorified women with tons of make-up on The L Word I find attractive. I see women in the real world who turn me on. So it's the real deal, right?

But how come it took a TV show for me to find out that I'm bi - if that's even what I am...

I'm rambling and my quick question got long. Sorry about that:)
