Why is she hiding her bi self from me?

Question - (10 March 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 March 2011)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I'm 15 years old,female,and bi. Anyway there's this girl that I like, a lot. She says she is straight, but I know she isn't because she told my friend the other day that she is bi. She denies it though because she doesn't want to be that way and hates herself for it. I would never judge her, her and I have talked longer than her and my friend, and she knows I am bi as well, but she also knows I like her. Why do you think she hides it from me...?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (10 March 2011):

She may not be bi at all. When I was in high school, all the guys paid more attention to the bi girl. And then some of the straight girls began claiming to be bi just to get more attention.

It could also be that she's not sure. She's likely only growing into her knowledge of her own sexuality. She might find another girl attractive and think she's bi, but she really isn't.

Maybe she's also not ready to explore that sexuality, even if she is bi. Maybe she feels she's too young, or feels society's push for kids to have sex at earlier ages is wrong. Aside from having sex, what difference should being bi have on a high-schooler's life?

And maybe, although you probably don't want to hear it, she's just not that into you. Just because she's bi, doesn't mean she has to be interested in the first, or any, bi person that comes along.

It could be anything. At this age, just be a friend. If anything is to come of it, then it will happen. If not, then too bad.

GeeGee255 agony auntBecause highschool is hard enough without everyone thinking your gay on top of it. She isn't ready for that. So she avoids you because she is afraid of what might happen.

That's why most people wait until they go away to college to open up about their sexuality.
