(Male, 17) For a while, I considered myself bi. Then I started dating this one guy for a little bit. Then, the other day I like woke up, and I was straight. Since that day I've been really thinking about it and I think I'm right. I'm not bi anymore, Im straight. Can this happen?

And now, what do i tell the guy I've been dating? (This guy is gay, not bi) I would still like to be friends with him though.

Well don't tell him you woke up straight cos that's just funny and not believable, just make up some other excuse, something that wont hurt his feelings.

Oooh god!!! thats hard. Are you sure your not bi? If you are then you tell him your not comfortable being bi and that you noticed that your straight and that you like the friend ship you guys have and you would love to keep it. You better be sure your straight.

Tell him you're sorry but you're very confused about your sexuality and feelings so it would be unfair for you to stay with him and that you need to spend some time being single so you can take time to think about whether you still like boys. But tell him it's not because of anything he's done in the relationship, that he's a great guy and that you still really want to be friends with him. He will probably be upset and hurt, but hopefully he will understand. Then take some time to think about how you feel - don't go straight to dating someone else because that will probably make you feel more confused and your current boyfriend would think you were lying and would be more upset. And yes, it can happen when someone considers themself bi or gay and then at some point they realize they are not.

When you're younger and going through puberty, your hormones are going crazy. You're unsure of your sexuality like alot of young men and women are. It's most certainly normal to become sure of your sexuality in a sort of epiphany.

Don't worry! Just approach it with maturity.

Yeah but it doesn't make sense. I mean.. "woke up straight?"
Makes you think about the lgbt argument of "born this way".

Well, it does make sense to me. But if it doesn't make sense to you and ther, you might as well not post anything if what you post will be disrespectful instead of actually being helpful.

Also, this thread isn't for place to discuss lgbt arguements - this is a thread asking for help.

Thanks both of you!

I think I was just maybe going through some sort of phase or something

You're welcome. I hope things go well.

And yes, it was probably a phase or something.
