Hi everyone, I'm a 28 year old, questioning/confused woman. Despite that, I have always felt that I know myself very well -- it's just that I have trouble fitting myself into any established gender/sexuality roles, and so struggle to come to a conclusion about what exactly I am. Although I don't like labels when it comes to people, I must admit that not being able to categorize myself is somewhat frustrating! I will save the long stories for another time. Basically, I am very inexperienced romantically, having tended to always turn down dating invitations from males (just not interested) and never having had the courage/opportunity to date a woman (which I would like to do). My family, friends and work environment are all very open-minded, but I have not discussed my sexuality with any of them. Being perpetually single, I didn't see the need. Also, I don't want to jump the gun while I'm still uncertain. I know I'm not nearly straight, anyway. I just don't know to what degree I am alternately gay, bi, or asexual (probably not the last one, although I've fooled myself before). I hope to find here an environment in which to explore and better understand myself and my identity.
Hello all! I am new the to board as well. I am a lesbian who is out to pretty much everyone. Although, I have aunts and uncles and cousins who don't know. I drop hints on social media but don't know if they have caught on. I originally came out as bi to my mom and best friend about 5 years ago. My friends and family are very conservative, so it has been a bit of a struggle. I do have a few friends who have been supportive. I like being online because it is easier to find people who accept me for who I am. I haven't been a part of an active message board for years, and I am very excited to have found this one.
