I moved states a few years ago and my new close friends in the area always thought I was bi, if not lesbian. Which always made me laugh a little - always dated men, been attracted to men. I have been single for three years now and loving that too. But over the past few years (even before I moved) I really have realized how gorgeous and beautiful and amazing women are. I love how we support and appreciate each other and affection between girls is chill.. and then I realized that may just be me, and that's NOT an everyone thing lol.

Is it normal to realize this at 29? There's other factors at play here too but this is just the overall vibe I guess, if that makes sense. This is also definitely something I'd have to hide from my family if things ever got serious with a woman. Also I've always called my friends "love," "babe," "beautiful," etc - if I come out as bi are people gonna be weirded out if I keep doing this? How is this something I can explore now? I feel so dumb and naïve.
