    :help:So, I've realized I'm at least bisexual, possibly a lesbian. I know I'm in love with my best (female) friend, and she has hinted she feels something for me...

    I think the hardest part is I have a boyfriend. He is aware I'm questioning my sexuality, and that I'm in love with my friend. He's encouraging me to find myself, but has also said he wants me to give us some time before i decide anything. We have only been togther since October 8th, seeing each other once every couple of weeks.

    His idea of me experimenting? A threesome... which I don't think would help

    I think I would like to actually DATE a girl to see how it makes me feel.

    Thoughts, opinions, ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    I'd say drop the boyfriend. You don't have to remove him from your life, but there really doesn't seem to be much reason to keep him around, especially if he thinks a threesome is in his future. :slight_smile:

    You don't owe much to someone you've been dating for a couple of weeks. Politely say "thanks but no thanks" and pursue this thing with your friend.

    For a guy that you have been dating for a couple of weeks and he things a threesome will help you I think you should drop him.

    My friend lives 6 hours away, and I am not sure she could ever accept IF she has feelings for me, due to her family.

    I'm currently trying to decide HOW to dump the guy tho...

    "I've been doing some thinking, and right now, I think it's best that I don't date anyone. I want to figure myself out and I don't think it's good for me to be in a relationship until that happens. I'd like to stay friends, if that's okay with you."

    Something like that, maybe? It doesn't have to be 100% true, but it's a nice way of breaking things off without putting blame on anyone.

    Just tell him your heart is elsewhere. Hopefully he'll understand.

    Just be truthful with him, the truth is always the best way forward. However hard it might be now it will always be harder later on.
