I have never had a girlfriend. I've never really had a proper boyfriend either, because the relationships were so short or just not serious. So I guess I could say I've dated boys, but not had a boyfriend. Anyway, I have never dated a girl, or anyone other than cishet boys. Now I am really attracted to girls (my sexuality slips up and down the Kinsey scale like mad) and am considering asking them on dates. However, I'm terrified. I'm terrified about asking boys on dates too, but with girls it's way worse. There are three people I'm interested in at the moment, 2 of whom are cis girls, 1 of whom is genderqueer FAAB. I'm scared of so many things: Being rejected Hurting people Falling in love Being in a relationship Committing to someone Fancying more than one person Any advice? I just don't know how to get my head around this.
