    So, I happen to be bisexual and feel like letting a few people know about it, but I'm afraid they might see it as a way for me to say that I am open to relationship with guys. I'm still not prepared for it and that's why I'm out as a lesbian. Any suggestions?

    You could say that you are bisexual but have a strong preference for women! or you can just say that you are bi and just date women only.

    I recommend you check out the kinsey scale if you haven't already. Makes it much more clear, and just like BookWriter1994 said, you can say you're bi but have a strong preference for women. Hope this helped you!

    Thought about it. Not a bad suggestion. I was just afraid of the pressure of the people around me wanting me to geta husband just so I could pass as straight.

    My issue is not exactly how much I enjoy men and women. It's about how to deal with the pressure of appearing straight. I just don't know how to tell another person that I'm bi, but have no plans of getting a boyfriend so soon.
