Yes but then when I kissed her I felt like I was eating sea urchin and straightened up pronto. Something felt wrong about the entire thing. Too soft or something.

Sea urchin sounds like a turn on to me šŸ˜‚

I can think of a girl at a party in college and a character on a tv show... havenā€™t acted on it but perfectly happy to admit sexuality is fluid! I have a friend who everyone (herself included) thought she was gay as can be... but she had a LTR with a man for a while! You never know who will spark things for you!

Yes! Iā€™ve realized sexuality is so much more fluid than we often allow it to be.

Iā€˜ll have an active interest in men, but will generally have more passive attraction towards women. Itā€™s partly because Iā€™m nervous to explore that part of myself unless itā€™s with a woman who is initiating a lot of the flirting and chasing.

This really helps! Indicating Iā€™m bi is really really hard for me. I canā€™t give myself away to a girl esp if I find her cute lol. But noted on your tips!

šŸ˜‚ yesssss
It was at a kick boxing class
She had an amazing šŸ‘...
I couldnt take my eyes of it šŸ˜­

funny

It was attraction but I wont act on it
If it just tap... well its ok no ?
Never without consent but wont go further šŸ˜‚

Yes. And when watching special shows ;), that often works. I havenā€™t explored it further as my family would not be supportive but also mainly because Iā€™m not ready to. Single mom of two little kids. I have almost no time or energy for that self exploration now. Maybe if someone was like the one, but have not met yet.

Well I wasnā€™t technically attracted to her, she was my friend and we were drunk and heartbroken (when you date assholes, you end up with wine). Sheā€™s bi and went for the kiss, I hadnā€™t thought about that before so I went with it. Realized soon after that I am absolutely not attracted to women sexually. Iā€™d admire a nice rack now and then, but thatā€™s about it.

A few times!

That makes sense! Deciding between active effort or not is complicated for me

My friend who I have known for 10 years recently became really weird about paying me back for things and Iā€™m not sure how to handle it. We went to a group dinner and everyone paid me back but her, I assumed she forgot and let it go. We went out to grab a drink yesterday, I had one glass of wine, she had 3 cocktails and then ordered a meal, when the bartender asked how we wanted to split the check she quickly said ā€œyou can just split it evenlyā€. I ended up paying $55 for my glass of wine (cont)
