I don't know how to label myself!

Question - (18 January 2016) 2 Answers - (Newest, 18 January 2016)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So I'm confused on what to label myself as and how to take a step towards my sexuality and getting to know people. First of, I'll admit that I'm bi. Yet, when I was looking at some types online I found the butch/femme lesbian type relationship and immediately considered myself apart of that. I feel like as if I'm the femme of things, I can't really say I'm the femme of the relationship because I've never actually been in any relationship. Is it possible to be labeled bi-femme? Or is it only femme lesbian? Are there other terms for that? Also, discovering that I'm part of the butch/femme aspect of things how would I go along as of dating? I really want to date a butch but I have anixiety and that always prevents me from doing many things. Would I have to just wait until someone approaches me? But what if they don't? I mean, I'm single for a reason probably. Ugh, I need help please. Thank you. xx

Ciar agony auntI agree. Why label yourself at all?

Every one of us fits into more than one category. To like more than one thing, be it a food, a film or a personality type is normal.

If you're trying to describe yourself on a dating profile or something then just say you have eclectic tastes or something.

You can fine tune it as you live it.

There is no need to label yourself or worry about the labels of other women. Just put yourself out there and see who you're attracted to butch/femme/whoever. It's what's inside that counts.

I didn't realise I was gay until I was 24. As soon as I put myself out there I saw what I'd been missing!
