    I've been thinking about this lately:

    Is it necessary/worth to come out/coming out at all (to people that I'm not even close friends with)... Is it necessary for a true bisexual to come out if he's thinking of engaging in a heterosexual relationship with a girl that's shown signs of liking him? So the love would be mutual...

    I'm out to my parents and my only brother, they've accepted it...

    I'm wondering if it's necessary to come out as a true bisexual (one that's not a closeted homosexual)...

    Any advice folks? Thanks

    It depends on your situation and what you are aiming at.

    Personally, i believe it is important, because i would want to be honest to my girlfriend/wife, and because i don't like hiding myself.

    That's up to you, though.

    Yeah but the thing is, if I tell her I'm bi, she's going to think I'm a closeted gay guy, which would ruin all my chance with her :/ Unfortunately, so many people are still close minded and bisexual erasure is a real issue

    Personally, i wouldn't want to date someone with a closed mind. I think i deserve someone who respects me for who i really am, and i won't lie to that person.

    But, again, that's my point of view.

    It's up to you whether you tell her but I think she would be more upset if you didn't tell her and she just so happened to find out someday. If you tell her and she doesn't accept you it's honestly her lost and you shouldn't want to be with a person that can't accept you all and all.

    Best of luck
