#1. You Recently Started Noticing Your Attraction To The Same Sex

Maybe you've always been attracted to the opposite sex, but lately you find that your attraction is shifting. Maybe you've started to look at the same sex in a whole new light. You might have always thought of people as good looking or pretty, but maybe now you're noticing a different feeling - a feeling of want. If your attraction has shifted from superficial to emotional, that is a good indicator that you have developed an attraction for both sexes. If you're not only drawn to what you used to be drawn to, and you don't shut down the thought of picturing yourself with both sexes, you might be attracted to both sides, and that's okay. The faster you know how you really feel the sooner you can start observing your feelings further. What's your level of sexual turn on? We're not talking porn here either. If you are watching porn and questioning your sexuality, it's best to focus your experiment on the real deal. Porn might turn you on, but that doesn't mean that you're attracted to the opposite sex. You'll only be able to gauge your level of attraction to the same sex in real life situations. Are you genuinely turned on by both sexes equally? Do you find that you're checking out both sexes when carrying out your everyday tasks? If so, you might be bisexual.

#2. You Start Looking At A Friend Differently

Maybe you've always had a friend that you get along with well and always thought they'd make a great partner if they were the opposite sex. Maybe all of a sudden you're starting to look at this friend in a new light. Does that sound relatable? If so, it might be because you've finally tuned into your real feelings, and are starting to realize that you're attracted to this person on a more sexual level. A lot of people suppress their bisexuality because they think they should feel one way or another, but eventually you have to honor your feelings. If those feelings are creeping up and telling you that you're now attracted to a sex that you weren't attracted to before, you could finally be embracing your true feelings and true self. If you're finding a new level of sexual attraction in people that you didn't see it in before, that could be a sign that you're bisexual, and that you're ready to accept your feelings once and for all.

#3. You've Been Questioning Your Sexuality A Lot Lately

Sexuality can come in phases, and if you feel like you've been questioning your sexuality for a long period of time, there's a good chance the universe is trying to tell you something. Usually if we have a fleeting feeling, we figure out that it's pretty insignificant, and we move on. If you're wondering about being bisexual or not, and that feeling isn't going away, you could be bisexual. If the feeling stays for longer than you thought it would, you might have some things to admit to yourself. You can try to forget the feeling or move past it, but if you find that your feelings are growing, and that your attraction for both sexes is equally there, it's probably time to just face the facts. Your sexuality can change, who you're attracted to can change, but persistent thoughts don't change easily unless you deal with the situation head on. Stop ignoring those pressing questions, thoughts and feelings, and start realizing that you might be bisexual, and that's okay. The sooner you learn to accept your feelings, the sooner you can stop stressing about them and start enjoying them. There are no right or wrong ways to go about analyzing your sexuality. It is what you allow it to be. If you suppress your feelings, they will come out in other ways, and sometimes not in healthy ways. Acceptance is key to moving forward, so allow yourself to feel the way you feel, accept it, and move on to things that please you emotionally and physically.

#4. You've Been Asking Bisexual Friends About Their Love Lives

If you have bisexual friends, you've probably heard a lot about their relationships. If you're moving beyond just listening to their stories to asking more detailed information about them, you could be trying to figure your own sexuality out. If you're looking for a deeper meaning into their relationships, or trying to see if you relate to them on another level, that's a sign that you're questioning yourself. If you're interested in the details, and maybe those details turn you on, you could be looking to recreate the scenarios for yourself. Maybe you're a lot more interested lately because you want to try things for yourself. Maybe you're getting as much information as you can so that if you do decide to try a new kind of relationship, you'll be prepared. If you find that your interests are changing, or that you can relate to your bisexual friends on a level you couldn't before, you could very well be bisexual yourself. The best thing to do is keep asking questions. The more you learn about the situation and how others feel, the more you can relate and in turn start to understand your own feelings. Don't hold back when it comes to figuring yourself out. The more you know, the easier it will be for you to move forward and make the switch to dating both sexes when you do figure out that you want to try going both ways.

#5. You're Worried More About Coming Out Than How You Feel

If your feelings of coming out are overshadowing your feelings of attraction to both sexes, you are probably a closet bisexual. The first person you need to come out to, is yourself. Once you accept who you are and what you want, the sooner you'll be able to share it with the world without caring what anyone thinks. Your sexuality is your own and it doesn't matter what anyone has to say about it. If you're happy, you should only concentrate on that, and the people who support you for being unapologetically you. Coming out should be the least of your worries. What you want to be focusing on is how you feel about not having to lie to yourself anymore. If you keep trying to convince yourself that you're not bisexual, you're going to suffer in other areas of your life. You might also hold onto resentment for the people you feel you can't be open and honest with, and that's not good for anyone. Be true to yourself about your bisexuality. Own it. And then explore it. The sooner that you start focusing on you, the sooner you'll stop worrying about what anyone else thinks. Your sexuality matters, and there's no right or wrong way to feel. If you want to be bisexual, if you know that you are bisexual, you need to embrace it. If your concerns lie on other people, you're going to live a very unhealthy life trying to fight your urges, and you'll only hurt yourself in the end. If you can fight the urge to keep your sexuality a secret, you'll be 100 times better off. Do what you have to do for you. If you think that this applies to you, you have to start accepting your feelings and really learning to embrace your bisexuality. When you do, you'll have all the answers you need.
