    Well, I don't know where to begin so I'm just going to start...

    I'm male. I'm a college student. I just got out of a long term (2+ year) relationship with a woman. I've never had a boyfriend or had any homosexual encounters. I would guess that I'm a "normal" guy...

    However, since my senior year in high school I've noticed how I find certain men attractive. I'm a theatre major in college, and I've been around A LOT of gay men. I've been mostly unatrracted to them, but there's a few stray guys who I'll find attractive. The thing is...I'm also attracted to women. In fact, I would say that I'm attracted to women 90% of the time and men about 10% of the time. It takes a very specific type of man before I'll be physically attracted to them, but the same is not true for women. In short, I have no idea of I'm bisexual or not.

    I wish this was easier for me to express in writing....

    I looked for a forum where I could talk openly about myself without fear of judgement and where I could also find someone to talk to...if you have any advice/similar stories please post. If I need to clear anything up just let me know.

    Thanks.

    It sounds to me like you may be more concerned with the concept of needing to feel attatched or detatched from a certain 'label'-or maybe that you would feel more comfortable with another sort of a 'label'---or are maybe challenging the idea of maybe-a specific 'label'?

    Rather than finding out WHO you are-
    (not WHAT you are)-

    The fact that you may find yourself attracted to certain men-Might mean that you simply are ALSO attracted to men.

    Point is.....Live. :)
    You will know who you are in time.....through living.
    Labels are limiting.

    Labels are nothing but just that....
    Personal attributes are quite another....


    Peace. :)

    ^^ Well said. Try not to focus so much on worrying about labels. If you had to label it anything, I'd say you're bisexual but that's not as important as finding out what suits your tastes.
