"I don't like guys. I just like you"

[kunglaomksm]

Does this guy exist? I mean he's straight all through his life then a guy came to his life and became in love with him. I know I watched too many gay movies and this 'straight' guy fell in love with a gay guy. I'm not talking about some dude in the hiding of his own sexuality(pretending to be straight). I'm talking about a guy who fell in love for only 'one' guy. Just curious if our bisexual friends here have this kind of experience.

Well, love is a powerful motivator. I suppose if you love somebody enough no walls will stop you from expressing it.

I've heard of straight girls or gay guys falling for that one-and-only girl, and lesbians falling for that one-and-only guy, so this scenario seems just as plausible. I don't think it's very common, but that doesn't mean it could never happen.

[VentinIntrovert]

It could be a different kind of love... Like a brotherly thing...

[LilSupporter]

Well I've thought about that too. I'm straight, still a kid, never have had any crushes or boyfriends but it has crossed my mind, being with a fellow female if my heart tells me it's right. I'm not actually bisexual but have thought of the possibility that I might fall in love with a girl some day. Like, you're not specifically looking for a partner of the same sex but if you meet someone and fall in love with them you'll just accept your feelings and go with it! That kind of thing.

As an equal opportunity dater, I fail to understand this mindset. =p

I "knew" 2 guys there in a band, and they fell in love with each other, one is asexual and the other is straight, so I guess there are, but a minority.

[Mogget]

It happened to Ianto Jones.

[Shevanel]

I don't think it's something to dismiss so quickly. Everyone experiences different things.

[Mad Man L]

Quite possible.

Almost nobody is "100% straight" or "100% gay". While on the surface your internet history may just be a sea of gay porn and you only date the same gender (or the opposite for straight people), there is still a small part of your gender orientation which likes the other gender (which you are generally not attracted to).

Sometimes, the perfect person may come along and while you generally wouldn't be interested in them, something makes you fall for them.

But for such a thing to happen is rare, especially considering all the negative attitudes towards the LGBT community and the amount of problems having a "gay crush"/"straight crush" would create in doubting your sexuality.

[Kidd]

I think it's possible but you have to define what kind of love it is, and I think it's also kind of important to acknowledge that if it involved a genuine heterosexual and not a bisexual, that it's probably going to be an asexual relationship.

Like, I'm totally and certifiably gay, not even a little physically attracted to girls, but then at the same time I have a pretty romantic relationship with one of my female best friends. We genuinely do love each other, we sleep together, shower together, eat together, everything together, but we never have sex. I think that's probably the farthest it could ever go between a gay person and a straight one...

[malachite]

sounds more like fantasy story, but I guess stranger things have happened

Well the way I see it this person was just a bisexual who hadn't yet fallen for the same sex. I say this because I don't think anyone is 100% gay or straight as someone else mentioned above. We're all just on different points along the spectrum, some closer to one end than the other and some closer to the middle.

I think it's very much possible.

Amazon.com: And Then I Met This Woman: Previously Married Women's Journeys into Lesbian Relationships (9780965884419): Barbee J. Cassingham, Ph.D. Sally M. O'Neil: Books

There's a book compiling stories of women who've lived perfectly normal heterosexual lives only to fall in love with a woman.

If it can happen to our XX counterparts, I'm lead to believe it can happen to men.
