So, I'll just get straight to the point. I found the idea of being in a relationship with a man/doing stuff with him possibly exciting if I met the right one, but I could never see myself in a long-term relationship with him. I do not feel very much attraction to men either, though some made my heart flutter if I'm close with them.

Now, I have a girlfriend, so I speak in the past tense and only she makes my heart flutter, but would I be bi?? A lot of people seem to be questioning, so I thought "Why not I post about this, too?" Or am I a lesbian? I am certainly not straight.

You're a person who likes what you like. If I were you I wouldn't worry too much about labels. Isn't gender and sexuality a spectrum anyway?

It's like if one of your parents was black and the other white. Are you black or white? Mixed? Mixed doesn't really fit a category. Are you gay or bi? Mixed? Same thing.

Invent a word. You're a les-BI-an, but you gotta emphasize the "BI!"
