I am sooo confused............. help? (bi? bi-curious? straight?)(friends?friends with benifits?play toy?)Alright, so I am 15 and Ive dated multiple guys and always thought of myself as straight. Ive had those OMG! I wish i had her.... _______ (fill in blank) smile, hair...etc..... A few times I was like shes pretty or really nice, but I never had a crush on a girl when I was younger. I love the scent of a boys cologne or their touch and I have messed around with my fair share of guys for my age. But I am now wondering if Im really 100% straight. Ive fooled around with 3 girls, when we were drinking by kissing and touching eachothers waists and faces while on guys laps or infront of them. I partied a bit in the summer and stuff so I had those experiences... but I always thought it was something we were just doing to mess with the boys.
Ive never had a crush on a girl.. until maybe now. I know I havent had that much time to think about it as Im still young, but Im wondering if im bi or not.... I mean its really weird. So heres the story:
My friends and I were talking about how one girl that was really touchy, not like feelings touchy, but she huged us all the time, and stroked your hand or hair often. Which is normal, but she did it a LOT. I also had heard from my friend that she had been told by her a few years ago that she liked her. Later, i asked her if she was straight, bi, gay etc.... She said she was bi. I dont know where that puts us. We arent really close or anything, but I have really deep conversations with her.But I dont know if we are really friends or just really know eachother really well. I have had this urge to become her friend. The thing is I think about her really often and I always want to see her and get to know her more. I sort of want to touch her, not how i would want to feel a boy wrapped around me, but just softly. I want to pet her hair or something like that.
Ive done really random things with her, like ive given her a massage while she was lying down, and I was straddling her. She asked me to go lower like to her but, and I sort of did but it was awkward for me.
I dont know I just really admire her, and want to get to know her better, and yet Ive never felt this way with any other girl. I dont have a fantasy of me being with her, or having sex with her... Infact I cant imagine it at all.... I just want to be close to her, and to make her happy.
I told her that I was straight, and she told me that she was bi... so i dont know how that would be. Either way, I dont even know if she likes me, I mean shes really friendly to me, and we have done random awkward things... we talk every couple nites, by texting... but i dont know if were just two people who talk a lot to eachother, friends, or she could be potentialy interested in me. Or even if im interested in her that way. She said she just knew she was bi.... but I dont know at all... I havent talked to her about how i feel, and im not sure if i should. I noticed she has has only liked blondes in the past, atleast all the people she told me she liked were blonde. I dont fit that catagory... so I really dont know if she likes me at all...
If she liked me I would probably talk to her about how im currently confused, but at the same time... If she doesnt like me that would probably make life even more awkward around her.
How can i tell if she likes me or even sees me as a prospect... Also how can i know if i like her, or i just really like her in a straight girl way?
Ive never had a crush on a girl, but i sort of wonder if i do now. I had these feelings for her before she told me she was bi. But then I just ignored the, but ever since she told me Im begining to wonder if I am too, and what i should do.

I Think You're Straight

Trust me your're not gay b/c of this statement :
I dont know I just really admire her, and want to get to know her better, and yet Ive never felt this way with any other girl. I dont have a fantasy of me being with her, or having sex with her... Infact I cant imagine it at all.... I just want to be close to her, and to make her happy.
So relax, girl. You're not gay nor are you bi. You're just a straight girl who admires another girl like a sister. If your heart doesn't beat fast or your stomach feel like it it's going to sink or fly away when she is near you. You're not gay or bi. So relax. Just b/c some girl touches you doesn't make you gay. You're overestimating and examining your sexuality too much. Plus,just b/c she's bi doesn't make you bi.
:)
alright thanks
I know... it wasnt that i found out she was bi... and then flipped, it just made me think more about myself...
and i probably an self analyzing to much... its a bad trait of mine.....
I dont know ive just been really curious about this... and Im doubting my self a lot, so i dont really know what Im doing.
"If your heart doesn't beat fast or your stomach feel like it it's going to sink or fly away when she is near you." The thing is ive never felt like this with a guy..... I mean I enjoy being around guys and dancing with them... but ive never felt like this with anyone......
But thank you Im not sure if thats reassuring or simply helpful... I dont really know anymore... Im really unsure of everything in my life right now so that may be it, but Ive been thinking about her for the past month..... which is sort of extreme for me i think?
But thank you very much for your help
hey
well this part is quite important I guess, so your answer is that you feel that way like "butterflies in stomach" for the girl?
if the answer is yes, you can talk to her about it.. I know you're nervous about the general idea of you liking her, or being bi, or such.. but if you trust her, you can ask how she feels about all the *being bi* part :)
I know exactly what you are going through
I (up until this year) had always considered my self straight. And i always did the oh man, i wish i knew her, or was friends with her. I wish i had her ___. And then i kind of experimented with my friend while being quite drunk (a few times actually), and ended really liking her... but that would be another story. I'm new at being bisexual, and it took me along time to realize it. I think you got to let it sit with you, you can't really rush it. and maybe you should talk to ur friend, tell her what you're feeling. She might help. :D
I agree.
You do need to sit with this for awhile and cannot rush to try to get an answer for yourself right away.
While most people try to fit themselves into the categories of gay, bi or straight...many do not fit so easily into one of those slots. There is a whole spectrum of possibilities when it comes to our feelings, emotions and sexuality.
This is a new experience for you...what you are feeling and all...and while it is natural to try to understand it all right away...most often, it does not work that way.
I realize it is a bit of a tricky situation for you because the perfect person to talk to about all of this...the bi girl you are friends with (to whatever degree)...is also the girl you are wondering if you have a crush on.
But if you can find your way to asking her questions about how she came to realize she is bisexual...without making it about how you think you might feel about her...that might help you quite a bit.
Because it is kind of hard to express how we realize and get to know this aspect of ourselves...especially when most of us have different experiences from each other.
And the last thing I want to add is that some times sex is the last thing on your mind when starting to realize that you are something other than straight.
Good luck. :)
bi-curious
i believe but you have a while to discover your sexual identity. besides you can not turn into something is not already apart of you. there is asaying that if you cover a glass house in dirt and you clean it then it will become transparent. well that is basically how we are as people we are all confused during times in our lives and we let go of our confusion to become transparent to allow people to see us for who we are. but in the end you are who you are no labels intended. you are still young live it up.
Mattluvzunot's right..
maybe you are just bi-curious..
True I dont really know
True I dont really know .... I did talk to her and ask her how she knew. She said to me that she just knew.... and she had known for a long time.
I dont know at all, and Ive just never felt that butterfly feeling with anyone... I have trouble letting go, or trusting people not to hurt me mainly because of my childhood.
So I just dont know how I feel or how I should re-act or anything. I aim or text with her often...
Also could you answer this ?:
We went to parties and dances together with other friends, and she didnt do anything with any guys or girls, she just kind of stood there. I danced with some guys, and some guy came up and tried to freak with me at one point, and make out with me. I avoiding the kiss and looked into her eyes trying to get her to come save me, but she just gave me a sad smile and walked away. which really confused me. I was freaking with another guy and I asked her if she wanted to join me and she simply said, if you want me to?
I was was just like well if you want to ?
She just kept dancing with herself? sort of..... I dont know.... Does that mean anything or am i just analizing to much again?
she didnt dance with any guys or girls, she just sort of stood there in my general area for most of the time that night. Other times she just sort of is there like a wall flower
I don't know much...
But it kind of sounds like she likes you... and doesn't think you're into her... thus the sad smile?
Does anyone else agree? Cuz i might be crazy...
but it kind of does...
and p.s. i've never gotten that butterfly feeling either.
Maybe she doesn't like those kinds of parties.
She might like you and the other friends...so that is why she goes...but maybe she doesn't like it when some random person tries to make out with you.
I would ask her. Mention how you noticed her standing over to the side...and ask her if she likes going to the parties or not.
Today adds even more complications
Today we went on a field trip together. We ate lunch with a few of our friends. We hung out... and when we sat down as we watched performances things changed:
So I was sitting next to her, and our shoulders were touching...
softly, she did something she'd really done before...
She leaned her head onto my shoulder tenativly and then pulled away.
I didnt really react, and she did this once more...
this time I leaned my head onto hers
She pulled a way after a few seconds, and I sat straight again... She leaned again.. and I leaned too...
and we stopped and started for a while.... Each time for longer
She pulled up my shirt, which was falling down exposing a bit of my bra, she didnt say anythign she just reached over... (shocking for me... never had that happen before)
We were leaning like that, and she whispered,"I have a weird question"
I said"ask me?"
*silence*
"are you a good kisser" to which I replied" I dont know? find out"
-her -laughing"what?"
me "I mean ask an ex of mine or something.... how should i know"
me"are you?"
her"how should I know.... Ive only kissed someone once"
me"sober"
her"completely her too"
me"her?"
we continued talking on that line... she said she'd kissed once... a girl.. and she was really nervous.
I asked her if shed kissed a guy, "no"
why no" thats a good question"
I asked her how she'd kissed "french"
who? "someone you wouldnt know"
So random other conversation... along the above lines... her asking questions.. me asking questions.. etc...
She was playing with her hands... and after a while i put my hand out palm up close to hers, and she put her hand in mine... I massaged her hand for a while, and moved down around her arm.
She told me liked it when nails were dragged softly across her arm... which I then did.
I played with her arm for quite a while... We made random jokes to eachother... etc....
When we were leaving she lightly grabbed that back of my shirt and followed me out. While we were walking out she wrapped her arm around my waist for alittle while.
We talked on the way back ......
So please explain some more... WTF is going on....
What am i?
Im going on a date tonight with a guy... and I'm ?flirting? with a friend....
Im soo confused...
Where does she stand?
Who does she like? the girl she kissed? Someone else? is she just playing with me?
Im getting more and more confused.... It started out friendly but it got more and more touchy...
Hey, first off I sympathize
Hey, first off I sympathize wih your situation... Lol! I won't go in to detail on my story but at any rate here's my input:
Judging from what you have been saying, I think she probably likes you, but is afraid that you might turn on a dime and run. It looks like she's waiting for you to make a move, to make sure you won't be weirded out by her feelings. If you think you are interested in trying out something with her, I think that at the right moment you should let her know somehow.
I'm guessing when she asked you if you were a good kisser, she wanted to hear you say "Kiss me, if you want to know" or just wanted you to kiss her or something :P She's trying to take brave steps but without spooking you so there's only so much she can do to play it safe. I'm pretty sure she's afraid of losing you as a friend and would rather stay your friend and content herself with that, rather than trying for more but as a result not having you near anymore.
As for your orientation, I think it would be unwise and pointless to label yourself at this time in your life :)
P.S. if you want to know my story, message me or drop me a line I think it might give you some insight on your situation ;)
"What am I?" I think
"What am I?"
I think the answer to that is constantly changing for all of us. Very few people are a 1 or a 6 on the Kinsey scale. What you are is human, with human emotions, and the incredible gift of being able to see beauty in everyone. Don't try to shove it in a box. Just live it and be open to what comes. You don't have to label, you don't have to classify, you don't have to "decide". You are what you are. And that could be different from one moment to the next.
You seem to have feelings for this girl, and she for you. To me, that is worth exploring. Love is so difficult at that age (that's when I had my first gf, btw-a million years ago!), that there's no need to throw feelings of guilt or shame or questioning into it. Just roll with what comes, and do what feels right to you when the moment arrives. That's all any of us can do. And if someone else asks you what you are, answer 'enlightened'. Because truly, being able to see past the plumbing and really see the person's soul makes you a very enlightened being, indeed.
Don't worry about what you are. That will never be static. But your acceptance of the fact that there are many different, beautiful facets to who you are will come with time and practice, and will be all you need to know.
Happiness is not the absence of sorrow...it is the absence of fear...
Hmmm
It seems to me that she could be into you, but the more important question is: How did you feel when all this was happening? Did you feel excited? Nervious? Turned on? Turned off? Disgusted? Did you want to kiss her? Did you want her to kiss you?
For me personally, I thought I was straight until I held hands with one of my friends. And, even though I never had any indication of attraction for her before, I wanted to kiss her. And around the same time when I held my then boyfriend's hand, I felt gross and uncomfortable. But, that is just my experience. :p
My two cents..
I'm just guessing. But, it sounds like your friend may be asking about how well you kiss because she may be hoping that you will kiss her. And perhaps trying to bring it about in a "random" way would be safer. Perhaps, she's even hoping that if you do kiss her you might "discover" that you actually like her. Just my two cents...
Maybe you should ask her if she wants to try, i.e. if you want to too...
this is getting even more confusing
I felt nervous and i liked it in a weird way i guess... but i did, when she touched my waist i felt shivers through my spine... But Im not sure if i could ever be forward enough to kiss her..... Lean against her, play with her hand and arm... but idk.
But what do i say/what do i do?
To find out... and even then why did she bring up her 1st kiss, which was recent...
and talk about how she kissed the girl and was nervous etc...
Ok. Sorry i keep commenting on this
but it really does sound like she likes you. and it kind of sounds like you might like her too...? But don't feel like you have to jump to any conclusions. She probably brought up her first kiss and talking about it, etc. to try and keep it friendly. The "are you a good kisser" question probably made her think that she made it really awkward, and she was dropping too many hints. so she had to neutralize it with that. but i do think she likes you.
And if you want to kiss her, but don't have the guts to do it. Get drunk/tipsy (so you have control) and do it. I know that sounds really sleazy to say on my part. but it works! but don't get wasted. not good when wasted.
this is why i hate labels...
figured it out
she talked to me nicely and she somehow she asked, and i admited i liked her. I relized she doesnt like anyone at the moment, (though i suspect she likes a friend of ours)
So am i bi, bi-curious, or just funny about 1 person
uh...
It's hard to tell from what you write
huh
So, we barely speak now. we have a class together but we kind of avoid eachother. For this and other reasons. Shes bi, and happy with it, and im wondering if i am. I am currently dating a new guy and its been going on for a good while now... But the thing is, i know i really like him... yet i dont know if i love him. For some odd reasons i keep thinking about her. Its not sexual like i dont think of having sex with her the way i think/consider having sex with my bf. I was trying to move on, and things just happened with him but heres how i feel:
With him:
I feel safe and happy in his arms
I get turned on (were virgins so we kind of just fool around)
I care about how he feels, and try to make him happy
Im relaxed, and we can talk about anything
around her:
Im nervous, and hurt (" i never hurt you to hurt you" (from her)... ) but things happened and she did (not necesarrily for this reason, we had other things going on between us.
I want to please her, make her happy, i want to talk to her.
--
Its odd, i mean i dont think i love him, and i think its because theres something about her that attracts me and i just cant seem to move on. I dont know why but i think about her, and i just want to be around her.
