    So, I used to think I was straight. I guess I never really thought about it much, I just assumed that I was. It seemed like that was just how people were. Which now, of course, I realize is terribly insensitive.

    I was maybe twelve when I liked a girl for the first time, and I just figured it was a fluke, or something like that. I didn't think about it much. After all, I liked boys! Or so I told myself.

    Now I've been noticing that I like girls more, that I find them more attractive. I still like boys, and calling myself bi seems to make sense. But somehow, I can't quite come to terms with it.

    How can I be sure I'm not just bicurious?

    It might not be a big deal but I'm kind of stressed out.

    :help:

    I think experience and time can help you realize that. Me, for example, I like guys quite a lot more than girls, but I do seem to have at least a measure of sexual attraction toward women. Bi-curious fits me quite well, bisexual or pansexual fits me quite well... so I place myself on the bisexual spectrum, indicating here on EC that I'm at the lower end of the spectrum (Kinsey Scale 2, or more like 1,5 - if you don't know what the Kinsey Scale is, I advice you to maybe look it up).
    Anyway; try not to stress, hun! It's okay not to know. :slight_smile:

    How about finding a female partner you're attracted to in order to explore your sexuality more? :slight_smile:
