How can you tell if you're bisexual?

Question

Don't just say, 'you like both guys and girls.'
I was just wondering.. cause I don't like most girls, I only like a few and what I feel for them feels different to what I feel for guys, and I'm a bit confused because I think it's just a phase I'm going through? Is that possible?
Any help?

Answer 1

I know you want more detailed information, but to be quite honest, there's only one real way to tell, and it's to examine your desires.

If you can imagine yourself having a sexually satisfying experience some time in the future with a woman, (and the same with a man, too), then you are bisexual. That's it.

If you like men, but find yourself attracted to only woman in particular, and no other women, I wouldn't say you were bisexual; just in love/crushing on someone who happened to be the same gender. But if it's more than one woman, while that still might be true, you're probably bisexual.

And yes, you might still be a little confused. I am loathe to call it a 'phase', because that denotes that sexuality is something that can just change any time and demeans bisexuality in most people's eyes (you'd be surprised how many people say bisexuals who have been out as such for decades are still said to be 'in a phase'). But you can definitely be confused and still figuring out what you like and navigating different feelings (many young girls often get same-sex crushes at certain points in their lives, but aren't bisexual or gay).

My advice: give it time, don't try to force anything, and just examine your desires.

Good luck.

Answer 2

If you are attracted to even a few girls, then you are bi. No one is attracted to everybody--I'm bi, and I find most men AND women unattractive.
I denied my feelings for girls for... ever, until recently, so maybe you're in the same boat. But sweetie, if you have any sexual or romantic feelings for other girls, you are bi (I'm assuming you like guys too?)
Enjoy it. Mwahh!

Answer 3

if you "ever tried it that way" it constitutes being bi and 75% of the time it is only a faze so just be whatevers about it and have fun
