How to make it obvious? - January 24th 2012, 09:10 PM

I consider myself Bi, I've slept with 2 guys and futherest i've gone with a girl is kissing, but i do believe i've had feelings for one. I just haven't been close to getting any further in that department.


I want to make it a bit more obvious now im in college without shouting I LIKE GIRLS, i want to start meeting some that inclined that way too, if you get my drift. The relationships ive always had with guys, well they've lacked a spark. I want to just get experimenting and meeting new people.

Any suggestions?
How did you get with your first?

ahh anything!!???

You could just broadcast that your bi, or just don't seem gender suspific (expecially guy suspific.)
I haven't done anything with girls, or guys for that matter... (major virgin here.)
- you said your in college, right? Then you could find out if your have a GSA, or PFLAG nearby, or anything for LGBT's really.

^^ Just put yourself out there, and do what you normally do when meeting people, be yourself and you'll do just fine.


In a world filled with diversity, I am just another oddity.

I'm a work-in-progress, take it or leave it.

As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

Hey there.

I'm actually in the same boat as you. Having come out in high school, I'm starting University next month and I've been thinking of ways to make my orientation public knowledge without having to announce it. I know it can be a difficult situation, but there are a few ways you can go about it.

As the others have suggested, clubs are a good way to go about meeting people. Most colleges will have some form of LGBT club, so that's worth looking into. You can also just casually let it slip; find some way to bring up the idea of being interested in the same sex. For example, if you're watching a movie with an attractive woman, you could make some comment about it and see if anyone notices. Or, you can always just come right out and say it.

College is often full of more open-minded people than high school, so chances are you'll find other people who are in similar situations to you. You could try just waiting for something LGBT-related to come up in conversation, and then let them know, however subtly or openly you wish to, what your feelings on the matter are.

I hope I helped. Good luck.

Doesn't matter where we come from,
what we've done or suffered,
or even if we make a difference.

We live as though the
world is as it should be,
to show it what it can be.

Besides clubs, maybe the local area will have a center, or meetup for lgbtq people and youth. Or if there are any specific events that you'd want to go to.

It could also be as simple as wearing a rainbow bracelet or something.. just to have that awareness yet still not have to shout out that you also like girls.
