Am I Het, Yet?
One problem with being bi is that when you’re with a girl, you’re a lesbian. When you’re with a guy, you’re straight. You can’t see how firmly in the middle of the Kinsey scale I am, you’re stuck with the evidence in front of your eyes.
I’m “talking with” a guy right now, and I’m nervous because its the first time I’ve dated in a really long time. Actually, maybe the first time ever, for real. Once I had a boyfriend in tenth grade, that I did the grand total of kiss one time on the back of the bus. I had an all of two-week relationship with my ex-best (female) friend and first (and only) love. I don’t think making out with that guy from my AP class when I was drunk a few times counts as a relationship, right?
Apparently dating these days (I sound so old) consists of texting 100+ messages a day instead of saying it all in phone calls, like I did in tenth grade. I have yet to go on a date with this guy. But of my admittedly limited pool of people that I know that are actively dating and didn’t just fall into their three-year long relationships…wait, basically that just leaves my serial-dating manager. Whom I asked, who said, “Yep.”
She’s not very wordy. She prefers to text me when she needs to call me in when I’m not scheduled.
Anyway-
I’m flipping out. How am I supposed to start the hetero-masquerade section of my life when I never hang out with guys? All of my friends are girls. Since we’re going to the movies, is he expecting to make out on the first date? Is it even okay to? He seems really nice, is that bad? I thought all guys were at least a little bit of an asshole.
And before you say that I only like girls because I’m biased against guys, hush. Tila Tequila is just too hot for that to be true.
I was going to carry on with some barely coherent thoughts on bisexuality and going out with a guy (who’s okay that I like girls too, I made sure to ask) but you know what, I’m too wired.
Any advice for a first date? I could sure use as much as you have.
