You talked about worries in regards to the awkwardness of really resting using the man, and concerns about being truly a ‘dud’. Forget about this. If you ask me, and also this is no matter sex, things have a tendency to work by themselves away simply fine when both folks are excited and involved with it. Passion alone can be well well worth significantly more than a perfect method. Put in a communication that is little it, and you also’re golden. So just make sure which you wait ’til you are all excited for this, okay? published by amelioration at 10:50 have always been on might 30, 2009
Seconding, thirding and n-thing: be upfront with this, that might maybe not (or might, according to him) be a deal that is big. Bonus: he is the man reference that is first tickled your interest. Huge ego boost! Disadvantage: talking as an etero guy, now he’s got 200% of this competition for you, which could result in a bit that is little of on their side about your relationship.
Lots of men have actually dreams about girl-girl-boy threesomes. Only a idea to help keep within the straight straight back of this mind. See above paragraph on competition for drawbacks and exactly why he is not very likely likely to ask to ‘bring a friend’. YMMV.

I have been where you stand aswell. We are nevertheless together. Nthing keep in touch with him if you can talk to each other about it about it before anything happens, and it might also be helpful to acknowledge that maybe it’ll just be awkward (or awkward the first time/first few) and that doesn’t need to be a bad experience, especially.
It type of noises, as other commenters have actually revealed, that the relevant concern of identification can be going swimming – you understand, “Am I ‘bi’ now, or just just what?” For me personally, myself, it had been a tremendously hard concern, and even though at that time, We felt enjoy it shouldn’t seem like such an issue. In retrospect, We wish I’d accepted it was quite difficult in my situation. Dating a man tossed off lots of some ideas I’d about myself and in addition it cut me removed from a sense of being element of a queer community, and I also think that is a standard emotion, no matter what strongly one believes (if certainly one does) that sex does not figure out identification.
Ultimately, I made my comfort along with it. It aided to own more conversations about this with my buddies, and discover, as an example, any particular one of those was in a lesbian help team, as well as one point them all had been dating dudes! It don’t change anything basic in them, plus they did not need to use any terms they did not desire to. They are able to feel nonetheless they desired about whomever they desired. This don’t ensure it is any less awkward to re-think whom they certainly were, however. But whether or perhaps not you stick to this person, I bet this is an appealing minute in your life, the one that offers you some insights into your self along with your environments and just how you need to live. posted by thesmallmachine at 12:11 PM may 30, 2009
If it can help, you aren’t the very first individual to have this situation that is unusual. It is best merely to be as honest and upfront together with your partner.

snugglebunny: “And what is an individual who identifies as a lesbian doing dating some guy anyhow? I do believe you are establishing your self and him up for the large amount of difficulty.”
Um snugglebunny, have you been severe? I did not understand that as soon as you checked the “gay” package you had beenn’t permitted to date anybody associated with the opposite gender. The OP don’t signal some type saying “I’m a lesbian and may never ever touch a man once more.” Sheesh! The plain truth is that it’s *not* that easy although we tend to like to label sexuality (and gender) in nice, neat, check-able boxes.
OP, this will be understandably tossing you through a cycle, partly given that it’s messing with your personal self-identity. Which is normal. And you also’re afraid as you have not been with some guy in a bit. Which is additionally normal. But try not to *ever* allow anyone tell you you “should never” be doing one thing simply given that it does not fit using their concept of the way you must be. published by radioamy at 12:21 PM may 30, 2009 [4 favorites]
I will be a right guy and and, a long time ago, I happened to be dating a lady whom defined as a lesbian. perhaps perhaps not bi, a lesbian. it had been a good relationship. we lasted for 5 years and then we’re nevertheless extremely good friends.
and she arrived of it as to what katherineg called her street that is”lesbian” intact. if you ask me (which can be, admittedly, restricted), that kind of thinking about sex and sex just isn’t plenty just how things are done any longer. it is interesting, as an example, that this problem did not allow it to be into the concern at all. and i love what thesmalmachine and radioamy have to state, therefore I’ll keep it at that.
so when you stated you did not desire to be a ‘dud,’ i did not think you had heightened sexual performance in head; I was thinking you suggested you did not desire a relationship to go south about this man therefore right after the final one. published by spindle at 12:35 PM may 30, 2009 [1 favorite]
In reality he will most likely not care anyhow. Considering exactly how much lesbian porn guys watch, he could really very well be more into you as a result of it. published by Ookseer at 12:51 PM may 30, 2009 [1 favorite]
Telling him “I’m really a lesbian” (your terms) will be equal to telling him, “I’m perhaps perhaps not interested in you.” If you are drawn to him and desire to date him, you are not a lesbian. You are bisexual. Just how do you simply tell him this? what about: “I’m bisexual.”
How can you simply tell him you’ve just dated girls within the past? What about: “I’ve just dated girls in past times.” Or “I’m bisexual, but we have a tendency to choose girls/women.” You don’t have to justify this choice. Either he will have trouble along with it or he will not. In any event, you are going to both be much better down continue with openness and sincerity. published by Jaltcoh at 12:54 PM may 30, 2009
