Question:

Ok so this is what’s up. I have a boyfriend and he's really nice and all that but for some reason I just cant make myself like him more than a friend. I guess its cuz he just seems so clingy to me. And I'm wondering should I break up with him or not, but that’s not only the problem. You see I am bisexual and I want to find a girlfriend and I’m not sure if I am just bi or if maybe I am just a lesbian who's in denial. But I don’t think I am because whenever I see a guy that’s cute I want to look, but if I see a girl that’s cute I want to look but I also want to get to know her and it just makes it even harder since there aren’t that many bisexual or lesbian people where I live that I know of. It’s just hard. Plus my boyfriend doesn't know I’m bi or if he does he acts like he doesn’t know. What should I do?

Answer:

I’m a big believer in following what your heart tells you. My golden rule is: if you are not happy in a relationship then it’s time for you to move on and find someone who makes you happy. My sweet and confused Gabrielle, it sounds to me that you’re ready to start figuring out who you really are, which can often be a daunting task, yet in order to do this you must leave the comfort zone of a relationship and become single once again.
Being single can help us shape ourselves without the support of others. It allows us to discover what we want out of life without having to rely on someone else. My advice for you, Gabrielle, is to break it off with this guy who doesn’t seem to know you really at all before it gets even more complicated (i.e. you start dating a girl on the side). Be single again and date freely so that you can develop a clear picture of what you are looking for in a relationship, whether it be a guy or a girl.
Don’t worry about the finding people who are “like you,” just go out there and be yourself…trust me the right people will come into your life.
Right now you are definitely struggling with your sexuality my dear. Now is not the time for you to be in a relationship Gabrielle. Now is the time for you to experiment and see where your true tastes lie. Just please remember to be gentle when you let your boyfriend go, it sounds to me that he cares for you very much. I wish you nothing but the best and fulfillment out of this roller coaster ride we call life!
