Confused……….

I am a mature adult woman of a certain age. I am very much attracted to men, but I have recently met a young woman and started a friendship with. She is a lesbian and I had NO PLANS on getting physically involved with her, it seemed to just happen. I have very strong feelings for her, but also maintain a relationship I just began a few months ago with a man. I care very much for her and she is one of the most BEAUTIFUL people I have ever met. I don’t want to hold her back from meeting “Mrs. Right”, because she deserves to be happy. She was in a long term relationship and she wasn’t being treated right at all. I’m confused on how I feel. My family is not aware, I have only told 1 friend about this relationship. I’m not attracted to other women, only her. Confused……….

It’s entirely possible you are bisexual. A lot of people are. There is a wide range of bisexuality. So even though you usually prefer to be with men, you may still be attracted to particular women.

My only suggestion is to be honest with the people you are dating. If you are currently going out with a guy, but want to also go out with a girl, let both parties know that you’re not interested in an exclusive relationship. In other words, don’t cheat. Whether gay, straight or bi, cheating is immature, irresponsible and inconsiderate.

Best wishes on your journey!

You are an adult so you can date who you want to date? Maybe because you know that your friend is a lesbian you have given yourself permission to feel what you feel for her. You are being honest to yourself about having feelings for her beyond just friendship so you are not confused. You probably already know that you will never be in a relationship that is exclusively with a woman. If you had to choose which one to be with you would probably pick the man even if you liked them equally or her more because you are heterosexual.

I think you should be honest with your female friend and tell her that she is the only woman that you have been attracted to and that you are also seeing a man on a regular basis. Then she can decide if she wants to continue having a romantic relationship with you. Due to her past relationship she could be fragile at this time. She could fall for you and be really hurt if you break up with her. So at least give her the option of keeping things the way they are now or ending it.

I don’t date heterosexual women because their natural attraction is to men.

I wrote a story about a woman who dated several women. They knew they were not the only one she was going out with so they had the option to date her or not. Unless people are in an exclusive relationship then they can date who they want to. They just need to make sure the others know that they are not the only one so there will be no jealousy or hurt feelings if they want to keep going out.

A wise woman once said. The heart wants what the heart wants…. I’ve found it’s easier think about the individuals than their respective groups. There is always tons of grey area and variance (butches that like to have girly night etc). The important thing is that you be honest with the two people you care about and if you hurt one of them it’s because of your true feelings (not duplicity that never goes well)

I’m obviously bias but but my free advice (worth every pound) is that if you met such an incredible woman that she makes you think like you have never before. Well…. that’s something worth exploring. Life is extremely short and sometimes you only get once chance at things. Love is sooooooper high risk and suuuuuper high reward.
