I can relate. I swing both ways, and have to make sure I don't stare if I see another girl I find easy on the eyes. Although I'm in no way feel ashamed about my sexuality, I don't feel like giving myself away to total strangers. xD

I know for me there are like 2 levels. There is looking and there is checking out. If I been checking out somebody that I think is super cute after I cant make I contact with that person or I melt into a puddle.

I think I'm just shy with people anyway so it doesn't matter much if I am attracted to a person, but if I am it is worse.

I think looking is fine as long as you're not glaring and making it obvious.

You are definitely not alone and it's totally natural to want to check out what you find beautiful.
As long as it doesn't become an obsession or rude in the way you do it I say just embrace the feeling and enjoy.
Life is too short to stress to much about all the little feelings and thoughts we have.

I look at girls just like i do boys, sometimes when I am at the beach I notice girls more than boys.

A little. I think when you realise you have that sort of attraction, you do begin to question yourself (A LOT) on almost everything but also when you look at people.

I think, I was most affected when I began to tell some of my friends I was bi as then I started to realise that it could seem obvious I was "checking people out" (even when I wasn't).

Now I'm a lot more comfortable about it, though. It helps to just focus on the moment as opposed to really analysing your sexuality and motives for everything you do. Otherwise, before long, you begin to convince yourself you're some horrible pervert who does everything just for sexual desire when that's really not the case.

Girl do I understand where you’re coming from with this! When I first realized I liked females, I would be so self conscious that I was gawking at them if I noticed an attractive woman. I work in an office and deal with people every day and when there is an attractive woman I get so nervous and start wondering if I’m looking at her too much.

It was especially bad in the beginning when I couldn’t tell at all if a woman was into other women. I was worried that if I looked at a woman who wasn’t lesbian or bisexual, that she’d be weirded out or something.

Interesting question. I never had romantic feelings for a girl but I do find their bodies more attractive than boys bodies. I do sometimes secretely stare at them and I would hate for anyone to notice. Nothing wrong with being bi or lesbian of course, but I still would not like other girls to think I'm into them.

Btw I also check out boys but I find that they dont seem to notice as much so I feel a bit more free to look at them. Also I mostly like their butts so they not gonna see me stare

For me it's difficult, I tend to look too long my bf tells me. Trying to be less obvious but an attractive girl or boy just grabs my attention and I have to look

its crazy but the first time a saw a boy i really liked, i was just 12, and he was maybe 13. he didnt have a shirt on on and i was staring at him i guess, and he said something like, dude take a picture why dont ya. it was kinda embarassing, so i tried to keep it from being so obvious now.

3 things

if it’s a boy who goes to a club like me but has long hair and is called Nathan and I hate- I make myself look away and never go the same way as him

if it’s a boy who flirts with me- I look him straight in the eye until he looks away first

if it’s a girl I like- I look at them quite shyly

All of these reactions I cannot control strangely

Pretty similar to me
