In need of Advice
by PrettyBlackCherry
Last post
 November 22nd, 2025
...See more Hello,  I’m a  bisexual woman and for a long time I’ve felt the need to hide this part of myself due to extreme  Past experiences, being overlooked, disrespected by family, and mistreated by people who are against my sexuality has made me afraid to be open. I know my feelings aren’t a phase, and they aren’t straight girl curiosity. I genuinely love women, and the idea of having a woman as a long term partner is something I truly want and would be fully satisfied with. I’m not here to say team lesbian or team bisexual, and I’m not turning this into a conversation about hating men. What concerns me is how often I now see women posting about WLW because a man hurt them and suddenly they want to try women. I worry that opening up about my sexuality might make people assume I’m just following a trend or that I am  running from something. If I end up with a woman, I want her to feel valued, not like she is a phase or a rebound. I’m a femme woman, and while that’s not an issue, sometimes I worry about how I will be perceived. I want to show genuine interest without overwhelming someone or invading their space but still love them out loud and unconditionally. I’ve spent so many years in unhealthy dating cycles, being gaslit, lied to, and led on, and also forced into relationships that I felt were not aligned with me that it left me afraid to open up again, especially with women. So my question is: what are some tips for approaching women respectfully and slowly that are not thought of when it comes to dating one  without coming off as someone who only wants a fling. Even as I will do my best all ways to make my future partner feel valued, What can I do to show that my intentions are genuine and that I truly want to build something meaningful and not have them feel that have to run away from me.  And if you have experience dating women yourself, what is something you wish you knew sooner as a woman.  Although I know that somethings are common sense, I don't want to make any mistakes that would cause my partner to feel heartbroken in the future. I appreciate any advice you may give at this time.

TL;DR A guy in my Spanish class may or may not be flirting with me
by Enby15
Last post
 August 28th, 2023
...See more Hey Y'all. I (AFAB NB 16) have a crush on a guy (15) in my Spanish Class. We have had three days of school, and I am already crushing hard. He is charismatic, kind, adorable, and his sense of humor is amazing. On the first day of school, I was standing outside the classroom waiting for a friend. He was also standing outside the classroom, and he looks at me and says (in Spanish,) "How are you?" and I say (in Spanish) "I'm okay, how are you?" and we start talking. Afterschool, we walk home in the same direction, and we talked some more. Second day of school, we get our assigned seats, and he sits directly behind me. And I mean the back of my desk is pushed against the front of his. We sit in the back corner of the classroom. When he went to take his seat, he bumped himself and when I asked if he was okay, he said "Now I am." He makes little jokes with me throughout class. He also calls me short in Spanish a lot. I'm not actually that short. I'm a solid 5ft 5in. I'm pretty average. Besides he's maybe 5 inches taller than me. I should note that he calls me the feminine version of short, not the masculine one. I call him crazy (in Spanish), to which he always replies (in Spanish), smiling, "yes. Very." He mentioned that he learned Spanish from studying frogs in Spanish. I Love frogs. I have a frog beanie I made in my backpack. I showed him and his reaction was adorable. We did a class wide review quiz in class on that second day, where each student would get one question. One of the questions was "How do you say Miss in Spanish?" and he goes "rrrRrrr Senorita." (Idk how to spell it but he rolled his tongue before.) and it made me laugh so he kept doing it. On the third day of class, he called me the feminine version of short again and I corrected him to the masculine version. He asked if it would be the feminine one because I'm female. I wrote the word "nonbinary" on a piece of paper and showed him it. He nodded like he understood. I honestly couldn't decipher his reaction. I don't think he is mad, and I think he's okay with it, but I don't know. I'm nervous this will change his opinion of me. Our teacher was going over ways that we could get bonus points. One of them is to bring in an authentic Spanish dish for the class to share. She explains that cooking for the whole class and translating the recipe can be a daunting task, so we are allowed to work with a partner if we would like. He immediately turned to me and asked if I wanted to make churros with him. We also did one of those get to know you scavenger hunts where you have to find someone who has a dog and find someone left-handed and someone who likes math and write their names down in boxes. When the teacher told us to start, he immediately turned to me and asked me a lot of questions about me. He kept asking me questions even though I had filled out multiple boxes on his paper and he should probably talk to other people so that he gets full credit for the assignment. After I signed 3/15 of his boxes I went to go talk to other people. Even then. after maybe 15 minutes, he found me and asked me another question. When he asked me this question, he got super close to me I would say he was maybe 5 inches away from me. This gave me butterflies. I ended up signing another of his boxes. Because of the way our schedules work for school, our Spanish class has 20 more minutes than any other class, so the teacher gives us free time. He spent this free time showing me silly memes on his phone. I am incredibly neurotic and so I can't tell if he is just being friendly or trying to flirt with me. It also doesn't help that I get anxious about having crushes because I am nonbinary and it's hard to find someone who is attracted to nonbinary people. Do y'all think that he likes me? How do I navigate this? How do I flirt?

Internalized Homophobia
by proactiveBunny8502
Last post
 March 24th, 2023
...See more I am bisexual and non-binary. Growing up my family has always talked down on the lgbtq community. They are either very religious and strong republican views on genders and what not or just find the community as gross. This has made me very uncomfortable with myself. I feel a pressure to agree with them and hide my identity. It has gotten to the point where I don’t even talk to people within the community and I feel so ashamed of myself. I haven’t really come out to anyone explicitly, except my dad. And he has made rude comments to me before and been vocal about trans education for young people is wrong. I’m beginning to hate myself. Now when I talk to people who are disrespectful I just nod and smile and say I understand. I really want to be vocal because I know what it’s like to feel alone. I just don’t have any confidence in myself and now I’m growing my hair back out and trying to dress in a more conformist light. I’ve also been struggling with religion. I do believe in God, but I feel that I will never fit in within a church.

I’ve never dated a girl before

Last post
 March 10th, 2023
...See more So pretty much all of my life I have pushed aside the fact I like girls, being as I am one. I didn’t shame myself or anything, I just grew up in a religious house where that wasn’t a thing. And I’ve just turned 20, so I’m on this whole self exploration and finally exploring being with a girl and if that really is something I’m interested it. Here’s the only problem, I am COMPLETELY clueless! And I have a lot of questions but no one to really ask, so I’m going to spill them on here haha. So first one, how is dating a girl different from a guy? Like when it comes to flirting and how fast or slow you take things? I’ve been seeing this girl for a small bit now and we get along amazing, better than I have with any man. But we dont flirt all the time like I’m used to with males and like we didn’t kiss or anything on the first few dates. Is this okay? I know she’s told her mom about me and she’s told me she’s interested, so how do I move further with her (nothing huge just like holding her hand lol) without being too forward or pushy?

What should I do? I’m confused

 June 8th, 2022
...See more So, I’ve hidden the fact that I’m bi, or well that i do have feelings for girls. But anyways Today’s drama lol is about how I feel numb, but at the same time Idkkk what I feel. I’m having girl and boy problems I’m having problems choosing between a girl and a guy. The thing is i left the guy to focus on myself. But Long story short we are to toxic for each other. It’s sad because I really love him but He did things that made me lose trust and over time I just mentally and physically checked out from our relationship. so even though I love him, I don’t think it’s appropriate to be in the relationship if we both are hurting each other. So then time passes like a week or so and This girl that I started to develop feelings for , which I had liked her but two years ago, she comes back. She kissed me, and for a sec I thought things were going to change and I was happy with her. But because of everything she thinks it’s too much and well she pulled away. And I respect her decision but Another problem is that I haven’t came out, mostly because I tried and my family’s response wasn’t as how I planned. Im scared because I don’t want to lose her but at the same time I’m not ready to be in a relationship. I’m trying to juggle so many things at once that I don’t know where to start healing. I’m open to any advice, even how to deal with my mental health please and thank you!

...See more Hi, I'm Ava and I know that I'm bisexual. The problem is my parents are very religious and we always go to church and they always say it's always boys and girls together and that's it. I feel broken and alone because I can't ever tell them who I truly am and I don't mean to feel like this, sorry.

...See more Hi everyone, i'm a bisexual woman, and i'm starting to think that maybe i don't understand heterosexual women, is that possible? Like literally its so difficult for me to communicate with them, like family member etc ... it feels so distant ... i tought it was just different personalities, but i'm starting to think simply that heterosexuals interact with each other in a diffferent way, and maybe im not understanding it. Like i mean subconscious things that are different becouse of the sexual orientation ... so the communication doesnt work ... it feels like we are talking two different languages and living differently the world ... and I'm not capable of living like them becouse im bi ... i tought sexual orientation didn't matter in the perosnality ... but i'm starting to think that the differences run deeper and manifest more than i tought...

Bisexual male and have only been with my wife
by redblee
Last post
 November 22nd, 2021
...See more I am 37 years old. My wife and have have been together since we were 19 and she is my only sexual partner. I have always been very comfortable in my own skin sexually. I have never thought male on male intimacy was bad in any way like so many other men do in my life. In fact, I would often say if a man was attractive, often times as humor. At times I could tell that made my wife uncomfortable with those kinds of statements . my wife and I have had ups and downs in our relationship and I have always been more sexually exploratory. when I finally let my guard down enough to understand myself and my desires I told her that I was bisexual. obviously a bit of a shock and she did ask how I could know given I have only been with her. She was also concerned if I was actually gay but quickly realized how much I enjoy pleasuring her. I simply told her that I like males and the male body much like she does as well as females. When you know you know. we have talked a whole lot in the last month and we are learning how to go about this change. I can’t say we will get everything right but we do love each other it just so happens that I enjoy looking at men too. So far she seems more than ok with my attractions and she has been very supportive.

...See more I identify as bi and I've never dated before but I've been interested in trying. The problem is I notices I have been looking more at women then men. I worry because I'm in the closet and my parents are not exactly allies of the LGBTQ+ community that I have no idea what they would say if I mentioned I had a girlfriend and the worry makes to too scared to try
