Question When did you know you were Lesbian or Bisexual?

When did all of you know, I mean really know you were Lesbian or Bisexual?

When did you just think that maybe, hey, I might be........

Me first - I always thought I was a little different than the other girls. Not because I didn't play with dolls - I played with trucks instead - lots of girls were tomboys to a certain extent. But I noticed girls more than other girls noticed each other. I seemed to notice them like the boys did.
Then in high school I really thought I was strange - other girls just didn't think about other girls sexually - unless they were, you know.... - that's what I thought in my head.
Then I met someone after divorcing my 1st husband and he said "you have fantasies about other women?" - do you like men? I said yes - but I fantasized about both. He said - hasn't it ever occured to you that you might be lesbian or bisexual? Duh! - then it all clicked.

So what about you ladies - how far back into your childhood can you remember thinking something was different?

Question

I'm 25 and i'm still questioning the possibility. maybe its weird.. maybe its not.. I think we all go through a questioning period in our lives. I find myself more and more attracted to women, more so than men. As far as physically being with a woman.. kissing is the extent of it.. and that was quite a while ago. Don't get me wrong, there are some men that I'm attracted too and fantasise about.

Its confusing. maybe its because i've been single for so long because of the fears and concerns that i have about even bringing up that i have pcos, to be seen naked because of my acne and to have hands on my face because of my beard. the fear of being caught shaving my face.. and the fertility issues..
UGH.

Its like as if i'm a totally different person looking into my own life and evaluating every possibility.

help?!

Well, I had my first real crush on a girl around 10 years old, of course I didn't know the name of it or anything.

Then in middle school and high school it was so socially unacceptable that I kept my feelings to myself, despite the burning crushes I seemed to develop on certain women.

Of course, in college it was everywhere and out in the open so I guess that's when I really came to terms with my "bi-sexuality."

I've always known it, but I came to terms with it when I was 21. I was living in another country at the time (Scotland) and my friends and family have all been incredibly supportive of me.

I've always been a tomboy.Used to kiss my best girl friends at school when i was like 9 but i didn't really think anything of it then.I thought everyone did it.When I was a teenager i used to think 'wow shes really pretty' but didnt think i fancied them.Just thought it was admiration and wishing i could be more like them.My first proper girl on girl experience was when i was 17.Then it all made sense to me.My family now have another reason to blame my 'phase' on.Apparently the excess testosterone is whats making me feel this way. Is this true or are they just trying to make themselves feel better? We are who we are hey

I remember being a child and having crushes on women and thinking "this is wrong, I can't be a lesbian...", etc.

By the time I hit puberty, I was attracted to both men and women... and had a LT relationship with a woman for a good part of college.

I'm married now, of course...

I've wondered about the Testosterone, too... but I don't think that could really be a possibility!
