how did you realize that you were lesbian and not bisexual?

Anonymous 1d

Tried sex with men and left me feeling gross every time even though honestly great guys in general

i realized i was gay instead of bisexual cause the only thing with women was "i could hypothetically, in theory, be attracted to a woman. why would i NOT be attracted to a woman?" but i was entirely asexual towards women and only really want to be really really good friends, and even romance doesn't sound like i real thing to do w them

it was a lot of little things that led me to the realization. i would go on dates with men and they never really worked out. one that distinctly made me question myself was a date i went on with one of my guy friends and after it he told me honestly that he felt like i was being too friendly and didn’t seem to reciprocate his romantic intentions. that really kept me up at night because he was right. then i thought about sex and for the longest time thought i was asexual and biromantic—

—then i had the realization that it i cut the idea of having sex with men out of the picture, i actually did like the idea of sex with women. then i started asking my friends for advice and things i had previously thought were normal for bisexual women, were not. i thought it was obvious that bisexual women naturally find women more attractive but still like men out of comfort. looking back i realized i had only liked men when they liked me first, my girl crushes, however always came naturally—

when i had a “crush” on a guy, i really just liked the attention he was giving me. and the second he stopped, i felt indifferent. when i liked a girl, nothing about it felt necessarily rewarding. in fact, it was frustrating because i felt like they usually wouldn’t like me back. i spent so much more time thinking about my girl crushes in comparison it was hilarious i didn’t see it before.

the whole time, i liked the idea of being with a man. the image of us together like they show in princess movies. the idea of my parents liking him. the simplicity of being a cookie cutter relationship. but all of the signs pointed towards settling for one. nothing about how i felt showed attraction. not like how i felt with women. with women, no matter how hard i tried to not like them, i always did. that’s what led me to realize i was indeed a lesbian.
