I identify myself as a bisexual femme.

Yes, I am attracted to men and women. But it does not mean that you will get a pass for dating both at the same time. NO! Same rules apply! NO cheating.

I currently have a long time girlfriend. And I love her so much. And we're happy as the way we are right now.
