Boyfriend told me he thinks I'm straight, and it's making me doubt myself.
The question i have, do my experience/feelings count as bi from a definition standpoint? I'm asking because I want to talk to him but I want to be sure of how I feel about myself, and how I should label myself when I start that discussion.
First of all, i know this is stupid but I've only ever dated 2 people including my current boyfriend.
I've had 1 very definite girl crush that I've realized but there always been this admiration for other girls or thinking how beautiful they are which other straight friends couldn't understand (sorry I really don't know how to phrase this)
I have never told anyone that I think that I'm bisexual because I feel like I like men slightly more than women, merely when it comes to the percentage of guy crushes I've had versus girl crushes.
but I can see myself with the girls just as much as a guy. I feel person like it comes down to not assuming women are gay/bi and that I'm kind of attracted to people, first of all that I like but also where I feel like they could like me.
I've had crushes on like women's celebrities that feel like genuinely just the same as like whenever crush on like and the celebrity.
sexual attractions also definitely not really different.
before starting to date my boyfriend I was kind of on the verge of feeling sure that I'm bisexual, but it worked out with us.
lately half and kind of openly talking about these feelings just because I don't like to lie. but it seems like he has took it as like a joke so he kind of thought of it as fake, and also mentioned that well right now I'm dating him.
I mean not only do I feel invalidated but I am also doubting myself. like I kind of want to talk about it to him because I don't like the way he talked about those topics, but I kind of wanted to ask are those feelings do they already count as bisexual. really from a definition point of view because of what I felt and kind of sure off. I'm not sure if it's meant under the lable
if anyone has read to the end I really thank you I don't really know who to talk to because I haven't confided this to anyone. I have alluded to it and all of my friends are very supportive even though no one talks about an openly because I don't
