Someone, anyone, HELP!!!!
Someone replied to one of my entries that I wrote from the library, about my siggy. What does FATA stand for? I've never heard of them. I just found the quote somewhere and liked it... but anyways...
Sooo I have a problem....
I asked Ian out. I do believe that I love him. I love him to death. But you know how sometimes people have a hard time accepting the fact that they like the same sex? Well, I don't mind. I'm fine with my sexuality. For the most part. But since I asked Ian out...(I still want to go out with him) it's just that I've been having second thoughts about going out with him. Even though I still want to. It's like instead of not accepting that I like the same sex, it's the other way around. I LOVE girls. As I've said before. But I also like guys. Kind of. And I REALLY like Ian. But at the same time, I have this gut feeling that maybe this relationship isn't the best thing for me. Because I have strong feelings that are telling me that I should be with a girl. I think I still have feelings for my ex girlfriend. I haven't talked to her much lately...but we're at least trying to be friends. I've been trying to tell myself that I need to move on from her, and let go, that it's best for me not to date her for now. And I guess I can handle that. But I'm so confused because even though I want to be with Ian, I want to be with a girl. And I don't want to tell him this (he hasn't answered my 'will you go out with me' question yet) because I've already done things like that in the past and I really want to change that. And I DO want to be with him. But at the same time I guess maybe I don't. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! Lately I've been telling myself that I just have to try, and accept the fact that I like a guy. Grrrrrrrrr. And I've been saying the same thing over and over here, haven't I? Please, someone, anyone, help me!!!!

Ah yes that horrible feeling
where you get confused about which sex you should be with. It sucks, I know. I'm going to give you some advice a bunch of people have given me many, many times in the past: Evaluate your relationship with Ian. Would you be happier with him or with a girl?
If you really think you would be happier with a girl, try explaining that you weren't sure what you wanted when you asked him out.
If you would be happier with Ian, then go for it.
Another bit of advice I get a lot (especially from adults, which makes me tend to ignore it but it can come in handy sometimes) is that when you're young (yeah I hate being referred to as young too but hang in there), remember that a lot of relationships aren't going to last more than a few years at absolute best. I know that sounds cold and patronizing, but I've found that it's true and I'm still finding that out. Remembering that it won't last for a long time might help.
Once you figure out what you want, it'll get easier. Compare a relationship with Ian to a relationship with a girl and try to decide which one you think is better for you now. OK enough of my rambling, I'll leave you alone now.

I was in the same situation a
I was in the same situation about a month ago, and i decided to just go for it. I realized that I really liked Steve, but i was all confused and freaked out about it because i had thought I only liked girls. I ended up taking the chance and telling him my feelings, and weve been dating for about a month now. I realized that i found my self thinking about him all the time and that i was attracted to him more for his personality than physically, and the more i started to think about it the more it seemed like a good idea and the fact that he was a guy really didnt make a difference. So, obviously i would say that if you think you really like him, go for it.
