    Oh wow! I just read these last few posts...thats incredible you got up the courage to do that...even if she doesn't respond, I hope this doesn't deter you in the future from being true to yourself and your feelings. If she doesn't reciprocate, I can almost guarantee that its not beacuse of you, but because she's straight. You said you think she is...any particular reason? Ever check out her nails? Granted, not always reliable...but the nails can be a reasonable indication..

    Hahahaha! That made me laugh...I needed that. Strangely enough, I feel like I already have made an emotional investment...even though I haven't known her for that long...I have this really strong desire to be like: "oh, I'm available to talk and listen..." I think thats my natural response. I feel like if I'm available and it doesnt work out with this other girl, she'll come to me...I don't know if its the right move or not. I also wish I knew what the situation was w/ this other girl. Bah. This still sucks.

    Why does everything have to be so difficult? So, this girl...who I'm like head-over-hells for now, doesn't want a relationship with anyone because she's in love with this girl who actually has a boyfriend AND a kid...but that says she loves her too. I know she's not making it up, and that thats the reason, because I remember seeing a post on her myspace that, though vague, alluded to some sort of heartache, but I disregarded it... UGH. I just wish she'd see that its unlikely this girl would leave a boyfriend and child for her...of course, I really dont know *anything* about their situation...but I just wish I could be with her. I'm really, really, really disappointed and sad

    I actually just wrote out my short little coming out spiel that I'm going to write/send to some people on AIM. The one good thing about gossip is that some of my friends can hopefully tell other friends so I don't have to tell everyone! Maybe the same thing can happen for you...

    So, I had come on here recently, sort of coming to my own realization that I'm gay... I went on a date with a girl last night and all I can say is wow. I've seriously never experienced these feelings before. It's scary, but absolutely amazing at the same time. It was hard to be confident in the "i'm gay" thing before...I sort of had the cake, but no icing. Well, last night...I kissed her and boy did I get my icing. I feel ready to start telling people, but I'm not sure where to start. How do you start telling your friends that everything they ever thought about you was actually all just an act? Also, I'm really scared about my feelings for this girl. She could break my little heart if it didn't work out. I had so many feelings when I got home last night that I just started crying... Sort of just needed to rant. Ok, I'm done now

    So, I've been on these boards for a while and the whole time I've been on here, I've questioned my sexuality. I was fortunate enough to find some great people on here who were struggling with similiar issues...many of whom were a bit faster to come to terms with it than I. I noticed the similiarities in our stories, but had a very hard time accepting it iin myself. Despite the number of men I go through, I always thought I would magically find Mr Right and that I would be sexually attracted to him, even though I never was sexually aroused in previous relationships in the past (unless I was in an 'altered' state). Don't get me wrong, I can be *physically* attracted to men and even had a copule of crushes...but, once in a sexual situation, I have no interest in men. For whatever reason, I think it's finally stuck. I think I'm finally ready to admit that I too am gay. It is somewhat of a 'freeing' experience, but it also stirs up a lot of other scary emotions. I just wanted to come on here and let everyone know who's spoken with me (either through the forum or via PM) that I appreciate it, and that it helped me immensely in finally admitting to myself who I am.

    Yeah, that sounds a lot like me. I never have any interest in sex w/ men, unless I'm drunk, then I'm "ok" about it...even though I can live without it. I've been denying my feelings for so long that I've really convinced myself I 'm not gay, but everything points to me being gay. How do I make that cross-over when every thinks I'm straight...its very hard

    I think if it's something you want to try, you should definitely go for it. However, I do not think its wise to base your sexuality on one kiss. Its possible you may really enjoy it- but maybe you just like kissing? It's also possible that you are indeed gay and are not attracted to that particular girl and then, if you don't enjoy it, you write yourself off as straight.. I'd really be careful with that. I think its more about a pattern of attractions...do you enjoy the idea of being sexual with women? with men? I don't know, thats just my take on it...

    How about searching for bisexual/lesbian women on Myspace? You can do that (by location and other characteristics) if you search with advanced options

    So I have my first date with a girl tomorrow (I'm a girl). I'm not out to anyone...not even to myself really. This is sort of a way for me to gauge my feelings because I knwo guys haven't been working for me. The reason I'm posting is kinda silly, but I need answers. I was the one to find this girl (on MySpace) but she asked me to meet up. I'm not sure I'm really even attracted to her, but whatever, its good for me to do this. My question is: if we get coffee or food- who is supposed to pay? She asked me to hang out first, but I also was down for it and found her on myspace. Its so much easier to figure this stuff out when its girl/guy. Let me know what you guys think. THanks!

    I'm in a similar situation as you- feel free to PM me anytime to talk
  13. jabele
    Maybe you could use online as a way to talk to her...since it may be awkward in person. Did you see if she's on MySpace?

    Apparently today is National Coming Out Day...hmm, maybe I should consider doing the same...

    Yeah, I'm definitely going to- I even set up an apt for tomorrow. But I can't know about the HIV test for sure for *at least* 3 months because thats how long it takes to show up. Totally sucky.
