 Why do you need a label? You would like to be bisexual? Why? Just be you, the person that you are, if you are attracted to a guy then great, if you are attracted to a girl then great. That is nobodies business but your own so you don't need to explain yourself to anyone. As you get older you will find yourself more and know your sexuality more.

 OP, we really don't get to CHOOSE out sexuality or whom we are attracted to.
I know for many people the notion of being bi-sexual means they have twice as many options, but that is not really true either.
Most people are not just "insert label" we are all a little bit gay, straight, bit, pan, whatever. But most people have a preference. As in those who see themselves as straight PREFER a partner of the opposite gender etc.
You might BE bi-sexual but preferring gals over guys. You might just not REALLY know as you probably have little experience and YES, I do think experiences MATTERS in this. Right now you might meet a LOT more girls who are on your OWN level of maturity and few guys who are.
I say TRY not to label yourself yet. As far as "who am I"? Well, YOU are YOU. You are NOT just the "sum" of your sexual preference. There is NO DOUBT more to you than whatever label you want to fit.
So get to figure "YOU" out as a whole, not just your sexual orientation.

 You're too immature to make this decision. It's not a bad thing; many your age are still unsure/curious. Some people your age just know they are straight/gay/bi/asexual/etc., but you can't say "I've dated loads of boys and kissed one girl - I want to be bisexual" and expect a label to fit you.
You don't need a relationship, right now. If you've "dated" loads of boys, you need a break from dating.
The best relationships happen on their own. They aren't searched for, obsessed about, forced or a "band aid" for loneliness. The more you prioritise a relationship, the more muddled you'll be.
Give it time and don't try to label yourself.

 You are YOU. You are 16/17. There is absolutely no need to label yourself as straight, gay, bisexual or anything else.
Relax and see who comes along that you like. Just because you kissed a girl and enjoyed it, does not necessarily mean you are "into" girls. It is probably more likely that you are curious about what it would be like to be with a girl.
Ultimately it is the PERSON we are attracted to, not their gender. A gay female friend of mine told me, when explaining why she preferred women to men, that it wasn't that she DISLIKED men, just that she could not invest emotionally in them like she could in women.
Stop worrying about sticking a label on yourself and just enjoy whatever comes along. One day you will meet someone (male OR female) who you will want to be with long term. That is all that counts.
