bisexuality


Question Posted Sunday November 23 2003, 10:07 pm

i'm a bisexual girl, and i have a huge crush on a female friend of mine (we're not that close, more liek just getting to know each other/talking in classes). she doesnt know my sexual preference and, more importaintly, i dont know hers. so my question is, how would i go about finding out her sexual preferance without right out asking her. we have many mutual friends but i think i may feel weird asking them if shes straight or not, because theyd want to know why, and anyone close enough to her to know would probably tell her i asked. any ideas?

Look for tell-tale signs of the physical nature. Does she often catch herself glancing at certain parts of your body that men would commonly look at? Does she "touch" you a bit too much in your opinion? You know....that grabbing of the arm when you say something funny, etc.? How much does she compliment you and WHAT does she say when she does? I'd bet the Pope's last dollar that the signs are there. I'd also double or nothing his last, that she DOES know your sexual preference, love. When you're next together. Respectfully compliment a female that you find really hot and see her reaction. Does she agree with you? Does she simply say, " Hmph." and move on? Something tells me you're a smart cookie. You'll know what's there. I think the biggest thing holding you back is being the first to "open up". Take your time. When you're close enough, you'll know when to tell her. If it hasn't already been established. And don't be surprised if she says, " Baby, I already knew".
Any further questions? Feel free to ask me. I'm listed here as OneMan

I suppose knowing your friend's orientation is helpful, but it seems more like you want to know if she's into you in particular (in which case, gay, bi, straight but up for an exception, anti-label, whatever, who cares?)

Figuring people out in a romantic way... now that's another question. Like everyone else answering this question... keep getting to know her better, and maybe ask her out on a pretty obvious date? You'll have a little backpedalling room and it's not quite as direct as some methods, but an invitiation for a candlelit dinner, a walk in the woods or a sappy movie will certainly send some kind of message...

well you have to follow your heart. there are many different was on doing this, it just depends on your personality. if i was in the perdicament, i would ask her opinion about bisexuals. during that conversation you should get the answer. but remember to follow your heart at times whe feelings are at risk

take your time get to no her after you feel like you really no her ask her how she feels about bisexual people if she answers positivly tell her you are ... she might be takin back by it a little at first but she will be ok with it soon enough ... maybe then you could even ask her if she is bisexual if you feel comfortable enough

Hey,
You should get to know her alot better before you ask her or anyone else about her sexual preference, so that you know how she will react to this. You could ask her who she has a crush on, or watch her to see who she checks out, if its guys, girls or both.
