    Did you really want to have a relationship, to make sure that you are right? Or just to simply see if you like it?
    Thats what I currently feel, I just really want to date a girl, for many reasons... I hate kmowing the 'only time can tell' because i just want it to happen now... im fed up :frowning2:

    Just felt like getting that off my chest.

    Well now that I realized that I'm gay, I am looking for a relationship now. However, prior to accepting my orientation, I did not want a relationship with a guy simply because I was not ready yet.

    It took me a year to get where I am now. As much as I hate telling you, it does indeed take time.

    Hi Unicornswag!

    You may hate me for saying this, but seeking a relationship for the sake of having a relationship isn't always a great idea. When you find someone you're into, and you get into a relationship (whether it's purely sexual, or also emotional), that's worthwhile. But if it's someone you're not that into, but you just really wanted a relationship, it won't be as great an experience. It won't even be telling as to your sexuality -- it's totally possible to not enjoy a kiss or a relationship with a specific person, without it being related to their gender.

    It's not really a question of "time," but of meeting someone to have that relationship with. There's no rush, it will come.

    To answer your questions, no -- I was sure of myself, without needing to experiment with either gender.

    I can totally empathize with you. Since I realized that I was gay, I would like to try being in a relationship with a guy. I understand your frustration.

    i'm in the exact same position as you - it's just frustrating waiting to be in a relationship with a girl to see if i'm right about my orientation. but i feel like until i do that i just wont know for sure.

    Strangely for me it's been the opposite. Wanting a relationship is what helped me realize I'm gay. I don't really feel like I need to be with a woman to prove I like women, though it would be nice to have confirmation I'm pretty sure of those feelings at this point. I do sometimes think I should try to be with another guy or two to prove I'm *not* interested in men, which I realize is a little crazy and not something I plan to intentionally pursue. But in that sense I guess I do understand what you mean about wanting confirmation of feelings (or lack thereof).
