    Sounds like the denial stage to me. Give it time.

    I agree with Travel Tech. You don't need "experience" to know anything. It may help if you're undecided, but if you're sure, it doesn't matter.

    She's just denying it. It's fairly easy to know your attractions for most people.

    Or just tell her the truth, that you being gay has nothing to do with you having sex with another man, it has to do with being attracted to a man. Though like they said, it's denial phase, so maybe just wait. But if she sets you up with a girl...then that might be the time to ask her to stop or read some educational information.

    If you want to confront her on her viewpoint, ask if she would say the same if you announced you were straight. Ask her when she decided on her sexuality.

    Tell her you don't have experience in eating dog poop but you can assure her that it wouldn't be pleasant.

    That'll teach her... Or I'm insane. Or both. Hope it helps, insanely.

    Like everybody else is saying, you don't need "experience" to know that you're gay. It's something inside of you, isn't it? Just know and believe in yourself and you'll be set.

    my dad said the same thing to me when i came out to him, i think its denial mostly and you definitely don't need experience to know
