One of my best friends is about to turn eighteen, and we met when she was thirteen and I was twelve. Her and I were very close back then, I thought I was "in love" with her, which I doubt I ever was, but it was more of experimenting. Now, I know for a fact I am now bisexual and her and I have been friends all this time.
She insists that I'm, "So straight," and when I tell her that I don't date girls much because it's complicated with me being half-way in the closet she says, "What was the gender of the last five people you've made out with?" Like that makes her better. I don't care what people think, I do like women a lot, but I date more men because it's less complicated.
It only bothers me that SHE thinks it. How do I get her to start treating me like someone her own age besides that girl she met back in middle school?

you don't need anyone approvel and if you do then maybe that why she acts that way. First thing about being an adult is you got to live your life. Good luck (^_^)

Look her right in the eyes and say "I am bisexual. Trust me on this." and if she doesn't take you seriously tell her "It really makes me angry that you don't think I know my own orientation. Please stop insisting that I am straight. I am not."
Such things can be very frustrating, I know. I have been best friends with one girl since I was five years old, and when I came out to her as a lesbian, she was accepting but kept trying to fix me up with her boyfriend's best friend, who is a guy. "Just in case!" she kept saying. So I told her what I wrote above, and she has stopped saying that. Incidentally, I used to have a crush on her around that age too, but it is no longer.
Good luck!

Open handed slap to the mouth.
Kidding of course, "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but ther've always worked for me."

don't worry about it.
live your life, date who you choose to; she'll either accept you or not.
if you try to tell her how to think of you, she really will view you as a 12-year-old.

Just live your life, to Hell with "friends" who tell you how you're supposed to live your life. When they're you, then they can tell you.
