[QUOTE]Originally posted by SansNom: [QB] From reading various other posts and replies on the message boards, I understand that I am the one to determine my sexual identity, not others. However, I would love to know if the following indicators are sufficient for me to assert a bisexual identity....... :S Up until a couple of months ago, I've believed unquestioningly that I was heterosexual (I've had crushes on guys since grade 7). That was, until I started examining the rather "unconventional" way I related to my best friend, who is a girl (as am I). For about 4 years or so, I've felt extremely protective towards her and would have done much for her well-being. I couldn't control the way I acted around her (which I found similiar to the fact that I couldn't maintain my cool around the guys that I crushed on). I acted childish, a lot of times in a silly and annoying way (playing pranks, etc.), to get her attention and to keep it focused on me. Later, when reflecting on my actions, I could never understand what exactly possessed me to behave that way. I would also feel jealous when she started talking to someone else. When she told me of the type of guys she liked and wanted to date, an deep ache that I didn't understand instantly formulated in my gut; I desired very much to be the one that she wanted, and I didn't know why. I didn't explore these feelings in depth until recently, as stated above, because I never thought of the possibiliy that I could be anything but heterosexual (so stereotypical of me, I know). But a couple of months before, I stumbled upon a website stating that there are some who claim to be heterosexual who are actually suppressed homosexuals. I pondered upon this at length. I came to the realization that my feelings for my best friend are not simply platonic; they are the makings of an intense crush. I furthermore discovered that, by that time, my feelings for her were the same and more as the ones that I'd have for boys whom I really liked. I loved her romantically and sexually, and I wanted to be in a relationship with her so much. I also realized, around this time, that I am attracted to both the male and female anatomies. After the school year started, I started having crushes on various girls in my classes as well as boys, some of whom I can imagine myself having a relationship with. I apologize for the long-winded post looks sheepish, and thank you all for having the patience to bear with me until the end. So, the question is, am I bisexual? Thank you in advance for commenting! ^.^ [/QB][/QUOTE]
