    As we know a lot of us are struggling with problems but have you tried to deny your sexuality being in a relationship with opposite sex or you even didn't know then you're interested in same sex?
    If you were doing that do you regret of "not being yourself" and would you change it?

    I am perpetually in a relationship with the opposite sex. However, I only like being in a relationship with a person of my gender. I like guys. As far as relationships with people of the opposite gender, no, I've never done that.

    If I could go back in time I would never date a girl...at least the girls I did date. Wasted a year and a half with them unhappy, that's time I could've spent out the closet and as happy as I am now

    No, in fact, I'm the only lesbian I know who's never gone through a "straight phase." It took me awhile to admit that I like women, but I always knew I didn't like men.

    I had relationships with the opposite sex , I kinda regret them now because I wasted my time with people I was not attracted to and I could have been with people I actually liked .
    But then again I was so deep in denial I didn't even want to admit I'm lesbian back then

    I never have and wouldn't do that, I would feel too awful about it not just hiding myself but in a way building a relationship on a lie.

    Yes I was from the age of 15-17. It was with a childhood friend.

    It was mostly long distance though as even though we were in the same town it was hard to meet up (or I said that to myself as I was afraid meeting up would mean I'd have to act like a real boyfriend). We became very emotionally close throughout this relationship though so 'breaking up' was still hard.

    I finally came out to her last year and since then we've become best friends. So I'm happy with how it's all turned out :slight_smile:

    I have literally found out today a guy (my gaydar spoke) I went to school with, a year younger, turns out to be gay. I knew he had a GF a few months ago and though...well maybe I'm wrong, but I wasn't. Horrah.

    sadly know he fills his Twitter with #gay #boyfriends

    I never had any interest in dating a guy, even before I realized I was gay and when I did, I knew I could never pretend to be straight. Unfortunately I felt the need to try and be straight last year. I met this guy, he was really nice and we got along but when nothing happened in the way of romance I knew that I would have to finally accept who I was. I am glad we never became involved. It would have been unfair to not only myself but the guy as well.

    my sophomore year of high school I dated a woman for 5 months or so. I lost my virginity to her. I wasn't in love, our relationship was OK for a while, but got bad as some personal life stuff happened and I couldn't deal with it.

    It did solidify that I'm not gay and can have relationships/sex with the opposite gender and enjoy it.

    I have been in a relationship with a guy, yeah. It was my only relationship, really. I didn't have a crush on a girl the same time we started going out, so I didn't use him to deny my sexuality. It was after I got over my girl-crush.

    I went out and took a chance with him because I wanted to have some experience in the dating world and because I really did like him. The only thing I do regret is letting the relationship overwhelm me as much as it did.

    I was in a relationship with a women back in my freshmen year of college. Honestly, I was indifferent about being in a relationship with a girl. I mean if nothing else, it solidified that I am gay as being in the relationship gave me little to no romantic feelings at all. The feeling I got were more of one I would have for a best friend.

    I had relationships with guys in Junior High. Do those even count anymore? I'm in college now, and I've had triple the amount of time dating girls. :/

    I've been in relationships with guys, but I don't regret it at all. At the time I didn't know I wanted something different because I had never had something different. Guys were all I knew and for the most part I was happy, so I went on with my life dating guys. I got along great with my boyfriends and guys in general. I always have. The problems always came with the sex part. I didn't enjoy having sex with my boyfriends or receiving oral from them. It was a constant fight. They would be upset with me and I'd be upset right back. Nobody was happy in the bedroom.

    I liked girls and was definitely sexually attracted to them, but I was, and still am, a very logical person. I knew what bi-curiosity was and I knew that a lot of girls were only bicurious, so I figured that's what it was. I ignored it, didn't tell anyone, and continued on with my boyfriends.

    I really started to question my orientation when I was in a long-term relationship with a truly wonderful guy. Seriously the best guy I know. He still is. Anyways, I fell head-over-heels for this girl I went to school with. By this time I'm in college, so I'm super confused as to why the "bicuriosity" hasn't gone away. I broke it off with him. Not for the girl mentioned above, as she had a girlfriend, but for women in general. One of the most difficult things I've ever had to do.

    So I don't regret the relationships, but I do wish that I would have discovered myself sooner.

    i just re-read the OP, would i change anything? No, i would not. i buried things deep for a reason, a very valid reason- survival.

    would i change getting married and having a kid? no because then i wouldn't have this wonderful young man that i am raising as a single parent now. I came out to myself and some others this past spring and early summer and i'll come out to him in the coming weeks.
