  1. My friends look at lads and go oh my god they're fit and some of the time so do i but more often i look at girls and think i like her more than i liked that lad before. I dont know whether this is a stage i'm going through or if i'll always be like this but for now i don't think i'll tell anyone about it just incase.”

  2. I wouldn't have called myself bi-sexual, growing up i had many male relationships of which i really enjoyed. It wasn't until college that I totally fell in love with my girlfriend now. It wasn't about the fact that she was a woman, I hadn't had any female relationships previously and never really been attracted to women, this attraction just grew & grew & got more intense. I think it was more about falling in love with the person for me than anything to do with what sexuality I or they were. Why do we need to Pidgeon hole or label it, why is not just about totally loving a person for who they are?”

  4. I am not totally sure of my sexuality. I always thought I was straight and I married a man. Recently, however, I have had strong feelings and desires for another woman ( who is gay). Although I have had crushes on older women when I was much younger, this is the first time I have felt this strongly about another woman as an adult. I don't knwo whether to tell her or not as when it comes down to it, what happens if I back away from her...I wouldn't want to hurt her. i have been married a short time and have stopped fancying my husband a while back.”

    “I sort of started being attracted to women and I suppose went through my lesbian stage for a few years. And then I went through my bisexual stage.”
