Hey im just wondering how long have you known that you are attracted to the same sex, or both sexes.

Rainbow Dash · **Re: How long have you known? -** February 2nd 2010, 12:22 AM

When I was 12/13 I realised that I was only attracted to girls. I only started getting attracted to guys when I was about 15/16.

I was a freshmen in high school, so 14. But after coming out, I understand why I liked girls more than guys in grade school.

Lets see, I marked that I have known my whole life because I really have deep down. It is just something I tried to deny for so long that I have only just come to accept it.

Now, the struggle is going to be coming out. :/

Bi and basically knew since 8th grade, or somewhere around that, but accepted it to myself about a couple of months ago.

I realised at around 14/15, I came out around the same time as well. I came out as bi first but after a while I realised I was a lesbian.

I came out at the age of 12 as it was just natural to me, I knew no different.

I started recognizing my feelings for girls when I was in 7th grade. Then I kept on trying to figure it out and finally did at 17. but i'm still not out

I suppose it's one of those things I've kind of always suspected, and probably known deep down, but have been unwittingly suppressing for most of my life. I only admitted it last year.

i've known just over half my life, knew something around the age of 9 came out as bi to friends at 12. but always knew i was a lesbian. came out as a lesbian by mistake.. mum read messages on my phone from my first girlfriend, the rest is history.

I'm bi and have known since I was 8 or 9.

alysaurus · **Re: How long have you known? -** February 7th 2010, 06:41 AM

Well, I was absolutely positive I was a lesbian for my entire life. Literally. No attraction to guys. When I was very young, in grade school, I would be upset because I had funny feelings in my chest around another girl.

But when I had just turned sixteen, or maybe a little before that (somewhere around September 2008?) I kinda started realizing I just like feminine people. ^^; 'Boys' who identify as girls and wear dresses and such... It wasn't difficult to come to terms with. I'm very happy. ^-^

I started having feelings for girls at 10, experimented a little at 10, though about it 11/12 and accepted myself as bisexual at 13. I'm 14 now.
