Do you have to confess right now? Some things are best left aside while a new relationship develops. Many people are bi-sexual to some degree and experiment. In time you may feel able to tell her that you have had an experience like this.
You could start by initiating a wider discussion about sexuality and where she sees the boundaries blurr/what is acceptable - just to see how she thinks about it. You may be able to mention a celebrity and discuss them as the start point.
Many women find the thought of being with another woman erotic even though they may never actually do anything about it. You never know, she may have had a similar experience. She may also find your confession difficult so try to understand more about her first.
Don't feel obligated to discuss it until you are comfortable - unless there is a compelling reason why you really feel you must.

it depends how long you've been with her. I would like my man to tell me if he's bi or not after some time. If you feel for her, you should let her know.
