First of all my parents are divorced and i live with my dad...it's awesome! But....
lately i've been wondering how to tell him that i'm bi-sexual. i've tried by saying, "dad, i think i'm attracted to girls the same way im attracted to boys, and i kinda have a crush on a girl at school." he deeply doubted me. he supports same sex relationships...but i can't figure out how to tell him that im bi!!!! HELP!!!!

Well, didn't you already try to tell him and he just said he doubted you?

I guess you could try and say, "Hey dad, there's this girl I really like at school. I'm thinking about asking her out - would that be okay with you?"

At least then it re-strikes up the conversation and perhaps he'll even take your more serious about your sexuality. Plus, you asked him a question that will provoke some response - which would makes him recognize you're at least bi or bi-curious.

thanks, i'll try it! i'm glad someone answered. i owe yoou.;)

Oh, no biggie - that's what this forum is here for.

I hope everything works out with your dad. My parents were surprised when I came out to them but they were still very supportive. Hopefully your dad will be too.

Although he did doubt you...maybe he was just surprised by what you said. It's not every day your kid walks in and tells you something like that. ;) Try talking to him again, like Ponta said! I hope it works out.

Ok, i have thought about this for such a long time because i had to ask myself this same question. how do i tell my dad? in the end my boyfriend broke up with me after a year because i wouldn't have sex with him because frankly i wasn't ready to lose my virginity, so i never ended up telling my dad and ended up giving up on boys, sex is really all they want and drives me crazy, i mean it's not like you have to tell him, but living a lie is no fun either, you have to find out if you really want to tell him and maybe use a less verbal way of telling him, like letting him catch you making out with your girlfriend or see some dirty text messages you sent to a girl, i mean i'm a really shy person and i can't express myself very well sometimes, and that would be the easiest way to do it now that i look back on it because my dad is kind of an intimidating person, so i never really worked up the guts to tell him, but now i'm glad i didn't because i have changed my mind about guys, and only like girls.

He's not taking it seriously, but he's not angry either, so just go after this girl and when you introduce her as your girlfriend, I'm positive he'll take you more seriously about the whole thing.

Okay. My sisters both went through this, but I have yet to broach this subject. So. I shall do me best to help.

From what it sounds like, it seems like your father is okay with the idea of girls being bisexual as long as it is not his daughter. If you bring up the subject, he blows it off as though you are joking with him and he does not take you seriously. Sound familiar?

What you need to do is this. You need to keep making Subtle hints about how you are seriously contemplating how you think that you are bisexual, and that it hurts that your dad doesn't think that it is okay for you to be so but it is fine for others to be this way. You need to let him know that you are going to keep exploring this area of your sexuality, and that you want him to support you no matter what because you are his daughter. Let him know that you might not always be this way, but in the off, and not so slight chance that you stay that way that you want him to support you even if he does not like the idea very much.

Just go up to him and say "I'm bi"
be straightforward about it.

Well... I gotta tell you I went through the same thing, and he never believed me so I dropped the issue and he ignored it. It caused our relationship to be strained and now we still don't have a great relationship years later. I think if your going to tell him. Just sit him down and let him know, "Dad I love you, I'm your daughter and I know you'll always support me as I support you. I'm bi, and I think I may like a girl."

Yeah it sounds like you already kind of said something to him and he just brushed you off. Guys (no offence to your dad) at kind of dense. You need to totally spell it out in black and white. Just be straight to the point and tell him again.

thanks to you all! i will try to work this situation out, im glad theree are people like you in thism world... =)
