#homoromantic

To be technical I'm bisexual but homoromantic, meaning I can be sexually attracted to both genders but I only feel actual love with other girls. But I say lesbian cuz that's easier 😂

Basically I was in an open relationship with my boyfriend of 4 years when I got invited to Kiba's place. We hung out and got all snuggly watching movies, it was the first time I'd been so romantically close to another girl. We weren't even together and every second with her made me feel on top of the world. I'd never felt so incredible. It was then I realised that this is what love was supposed to feel like. I still loved my boyfriend but the feelings had gone pretty stale, so it was probably just denial towards the end there. Thankfully he saw it coming too and the breakup was easy, and then I became Kiba's girlfriend.

I honestly had no idea how my family would feel as it hadn't been done before. They never talked about it either so it could have gone either way. They were shocked at such a sudden change, but totally fine with it. When I was telling mum over Facebook (we live different states) and asked what dad thought she said "Dad is having a drink" 😂
But yeah all fine all in all!

I understand how you feel. I can tell you my experience, if that helps.

When I was in 6th grade all of my friends would talk about boys and I never understood what they meant. I didn't find any of the boys they swooned over attractive, none of them. I didn't see girls in that way either, and years later when I heard about the term 'asexual' I understood that might apply to me. But, like you, I was confused and scared at the implications that I might not be straight. I wasn't sure who I was.

The time I realized I was romantically interested in girls was when I tried to date a boy, my best friend, but just wasn't interested. It wasn't him, he's wonderful and kind and the only boy who isn't awful truthfully, but it was that he was a boy. I couldn't give him anything more than hand holding and even that was a bit much for me. I thought about the type of person I'd want to date (if I did date) and none of them were boys. Even these made-up people, the 'types' I liked, were all girls. I found girls more caring, sensitive, understanding, and personality-wise they appealed to me much more than men ever did and I just found girls cuter. As a asexual and homoromantic person I found it difficult to come out, and haven't publicly (only online), but I did come out to my mother and friends already and have gotten love and support as well as adivce.

You should only speak when you feel ready. I'm lucky enough to have a family and friends who accept me, hopefully you will be too. Only tell those you absolutely trust until you're ready to be open, and don't tell anyone until you feel safe. Your well being is always most important. It's difficult to keep it to yourself but until you're sure of who you are you should think carefully, and asking for help is always okay but only you know how you feel.
