You might try different places that cater to bisexual or lesbians bars,bookstores etc. My bisexual friend did and was successful.

Hey. I think it works the same as if you were meeting a guy. I think both can tell that there is an attraction when you are together and if the feeling is mutual then one of you will act on it. I think that is how it works in these kind of relationships.

Sorry I am late on responding!!  Bad, bad cl!! lol

That makes 2 of us.  I had someone also, and thought it was good, but I guess I was wrong.  lol  But unlike yourself, I am a little sore at how it all went down, but I am strong and have moved on!

"I guess you can say I am Bi on standby"...I love that!!!

Sounds like you have quite the war going on inside you.  I am sorry that you go through it like that.  It isn't right to deny who you are sexually, but at the same time, you don't want to deny your faith and christianity.

I feel as though my sexuality is my sexuality.  If I decide to share it w/someone then that is great.  Otherwise, it is who I am, and I don't need everyone to know.  As long as I am happy with who I am with, that is what matters to me the most.

"You know what I have come to realize is that when you are Bi you aren't really accepted in the straight community or the gay community. Neither one feels as though you really are Bi they just think you are confused and that you can't be trusted to remain faithful. When I was with my Lesbian girlfriend she kept thinking that I was just confused and in a period of transition. And that one day I would just wake up and be gay. Because she was my first and only adult girlfriend we both thought that at first. She told me all about her journey how she use to date men and then she only wanted to be with women. I kept telling her that I wasn't gay and she didn't understand. My love and attraction for men has never left unlike hers."

I hear ya on that.  Everyone needs to be put in a box, and being bi doesn't fit in straight or gay.  So, it seems like everyone has an opinion on it.  People don't think you can be attracted to both, which is sooooooo untrue!!  I am attracted to males and females.  Doesn't seem like one more than the other.  I am married and love my husband, but I am also attracted to women.  Seems like your girlfriend didn't think too much outside of her "box".  You just don't wake up and are gay!!

"Binogamous"...

I will have to remember that word!!  Love it!!  It fits.  No that is not hard to understand.  That is what you want to be happy, one man and one woman.  I am the same way.  Just because I am bi, everyone expects that I am want to be w/every man or woman I see.  It isn't like that whatsoever!

Drama queen or not, be who you are!!  That is all you can be.  And this response is great!!  I am able to get to know you better and that is awesome.  It seems that not many people let it out, but I don't mind at all!

You didn't scare me off at all!!  And thank you for the dedication.  I feel as though I am forever lost!  lol

I agree, but some people have trouble finding that person to be attracted to.  I have found it to be difficult when bi.  The attraction works the same as with a guy...it is being in the right place and time to find them.
