For the past 3 years, I have considered myself a gay male; however, I have been questioning my sexual orientation for the past few months. I have wondered what it would be like being with a girl, or if I could start a relationship with a girl easier than with a guy. I kind of brushed it off as me just being really desperate for a relationship and assuming that I could get a girl because "straight guys have it easier" (which I'm sure isn't even entirely true). But, I just can't get it out of my head that maybe I like both guys and girls. The only issue is that I have been sure that I am gay for the past few years, so I tell everyone I am gay. I want to see how it works being with a girl, but I do not know how to do it privately. I also feel like I am trapped in being gay. I don't know how anyone would react if I started dating a girl and liked her, and their possible reactions scare me. I know that my friends and family are proud of me for being who I am, and do not care who I like, but I just feel like if I start dating girls and like it that I lied to them about myself, and I don't know I just feel like it would look bad. Any thoughts?
You're not trapped in being gay. It's okay to have thoughts like that, and it's also okay to test out a relationship with a girl, if they're okay with it. Just make sure you actually like her. I would consider myself bi just because I'm not completely ruling out a male partner, even if I do prefer girls, so maybe you should too? I don't know.
Do not think of your orientation sexual as a label and does not let you influence by what the others can think of you, I mean, it is how you are and not how the others see you so don't ^^
