    Several years ago I had this emotionally/intellectually charged relationship with someone that I've known since childhood and we were together for just about 2yrs before she died suddenly anyway the whole time we were together the closest we came to sex without actually doing it was making out and feeling each other up

    My question is does this make me bisexual?

    Hello, and welcome to EC

    Not really. It may be a indicator that you aren't straight, but this alone isn't enough to know.

    Think about yourself. Do you feel attracted to men, in general? What about women? Would you have sex with a woman again?

    Don't rush the answers, take your time to think. Only you can conclude what your orientation is.

    But we are here to help, so don't be afraid to ask anything you want :slight_smile:

    Hugs

    Well as far as being attracted to men goes I dated someone for 15 months and at first I was attracted to him but after awhile whatever attraction I felt to him died and we eventually I ended things with him because I realized that we weren't compatible and I've this same problem before with a person the I dated a while back also.

    As far as having sex with another women goes If I found someone that I had that same intense connection with then yes I probably would

    Don't be too worried about labels (Bisexual, Lesbian, Straight, etc.) if you feel they are too confusing. Just think about yourself and who you feel attracted to.

    Then i think you may be bi or lesbian. Do you fantasize about men too? Are you also attracted to them?

    No I actually don't fantasize about men that much anymore and I really haven't been to a man in some time

    By definition, a bisexual is someone who is attracted to both guys and girls, and not necessarily equally.

    But first you gotta break down what "attracted" really means.

    I can imagine myself having sex with an older man that I see on a street, but only as a "pornographic scene" if you know what I mean. The emotional bond would be non existant. If I begin having a conversation with him, the possibility of even doing anything sexual with them immediately goes away. If it somehow pops into my head midway through the conversation, I realize sex with a man isn't something I would do. It's not who I am.

    I've never had feelings or crushes towards guys. I'm 18 now. If anything, I've been attracted to something that older men possess, which is something that I would wish to see in myself.

    I do recall crushes on many girls throughout my life, and I've always had this good feeling when I talked with them. Their presence lifted my head when I felt the lowest, as I was able to do the same when they were in need.
