Can I call myself bisexual?

Hi there! I am 28F and I feel like a bit of an impostor any time I want to call myself bisexual. Basically, I have been working through this for years I have gotten to the conclusion that I am at least definitely sexually attracted to both men and women. Even though I have never actually hooked up with a female more than making out with them, I have always wanted to pursue it and take it further. However, I am not sure if I can see myself in a romantic relationship with a woman. I have only ever been on dates with men and had relationships with men. I also grew up not really seeing too much representation of wlw relationships (other than purely sexual) and I feel as though both of these things might have influenced me in feeling like I could only have sex with a woman but not catch feelings for them. I also almost feel like it would be easier to just “be straight” (in terms of telling family etc.) but I also don’t think I would 100% rule out the chance of me ever catching romantic feelings for a woman, it’s just that I have always seen myself ending up with a man. I guess I also feel a bit like a fraud for calling myself bisexual if it does end up only applying to sexual feelings especially if it turns out I am hetero-romantic (even though at this point I am open to the possibility that I might not be). I guess I’m scared it comes across as sexualizing women and that I don’t want to then «claim» the bisexual label if it doesn’t apply to me. All in all of course I don’t have to label myself but I think it’s just that the label “straight” feels less and less like it suits me. Sorry for the long post! Hoping to get some helpful insight xx
