Lay-deez!
okay, jokes aside.
I'm bisexual and I have been for a couple years now, but I've never really had a girlfriend. My best friend and I basically came out together, and we've had a pretty close relationship ever since, but not actually dating.
Right now I have a boyfriend, but I've been leaning more and more toward liking girls ever since I came out. Here is my confusion: physically, I like girls a lot. Personality-wise, I don't really have any clue because I haven't ever been around any lesbians or been that close to any girls to know what they're like - the ones who aren't preppy and self-centered and extraordinarily mainstream, that is. And relationship-wise, I'm like a dog with catnip. I have no idea what a relationship with a girl would be like.
One of the reasons I like men is because of the comforting feeling I get from them. I think with women this might not be so readily present, and especially because of the fact that I tend to have a motherly or caring instinct, I might end up being the one who provides the comforting feeling without realizing it. I'm a little afraid of that because I think it would mean I'd end up on the giving end and I wouldn't get any comfort in return. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like girls but if I were to try a relationship with one, I wouldn't want to be the 'masculine' one in the relationship.
There are lesbian relationships where both girls are the 'feminine' component, right? There doesn't have to be one 'masculine' and one 'feminine' partner? I know this is a concept but I want to hear from people who actually have or had a relationship like that.
[... I suppose I'm wondering, just a little, if there's any girl out there around my age who would be my first girlfriend and sort of debrief me. (for lack of a better word) but at the same time, as I said, I have a boyfriend right now and I love him, and I don't want to leave him anytime soon. I'm terrible that way; wanting to have my cake and eat it too... ]
