I'm trying to date this girl, but she knows when I was younger I was in a homosexual relationship?
for a little history on the subject,
We’ve worked together for almost two years, and I’ve had a huge crush on this girl pretty much since I started working there. When I first started working there I was involved in a homosexual relationship and identified myself as bi-sexual. Now, I was also very reserved about saying so and also never really put such information out in the open. I’m very private when it comes to all aspects of my private life, not just because of the nature of my relationship. But, things came out over time as I worked there, especially since several people who work there are openly gay or lesbians. Within a few months of working there I determined that I liked girls alot more than I like men, I can appreciate masculine features and many characteristics men possess, but as far as sexual and emotional levels, men never satisfied me. On top of that the guy I was dating turned out to be a total loser who didn’t want to do anything but sit around the house while I worked 6-7 days a week to pay all the bills and he smoked pot (icing on the cake he was 5 years older than me when we started dating, I was 18 he was 23 and he moved in with me after 6 months of dating cuz he didn’t have anywhere to go). So i dumped him after 2 years of dating and moved out so he’d have to find somewhere to go which he did, and after a series of dramatic bull **** things that I put up with from him, once including him punching me in the face, I cut contact with him entirely.
Well, after we split up, a few months passed and I started pursuing this girl. She was (and is) the most perfect girl ever. She’s smart, funny, absolutely gorgeous, we have many of the same goals ideals and principles. She’s proper, has a taste for the finer things in life and and knows how to have fun (i.e. drinking) without getting wasted and "acting a fool". She is artistic and clever, and I could go on and on all day cuz I’m totally head over heels for this girl.
We hang out a good bit with people and alone with just each other, and she knows how I feel about her (i got a little too drunk one night after a few bottles of wine and spilled the beans like an idiot) But she has very intense reservations, (she comes from a very traditional Honduran family and many South American cultures look down on homosexuality) and her family is very important to her even though they don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things. She says that there is potential, but she has other issues going on in her life as well, and also to make things worse, a few months back , I went and hung out with some of the openly gay people I work with and went to a gay bar with them, ended up going back to one of the peoples houses with a few other people and we all had several glasses of wine, and one of the male coworkers of mine(the one whose house we were at, who is also almost 20 years older than me) made advances on me with his boyfriend present. I told him that I wasn’t interested and to leave me alone in that manner that I just wanted to hang out. things got dramatic after that and I left, but he went and told people at work an entirely different story. Obviously this got back to her and her already leery reservations, were undoubtedly intensified.
Last night I took her out to lunch, suprised her with a bouquet of flowers, and we spent all day together, went out and taught her how to shoot pool, watched forgetting Sarah Marshall, gave her an hour long back massage, and hung out drinking Maker’s Mark on the rocks(a drink I got her started on) until almost 3 in the morning. When I got up to leave, I made the first move I’ve ever made on her and tried to kiss her and she turned away( another thing about this is that we’ve spent the night together over 6-7 times before this, nothing intimate just hanging out talking and sleeping in the same bed). This was when this whole thing was brought up and laid out on the table. I told her that, I had no further interest in men and would not betray that trust and long story short, she said that it wasn’t a "completely closed chapter" and that regardless of what happened she always wanted me to be around and a part of her life.
I’m in LOVE with this girl, I know I don’t have a right to be, but I am infatuated with her, she never strays far from my thoughts I think about her all the time. I try and think of ways to make her laugh and smile, and just try and make her happy in general. I’m 22 years old now, almost fluent in her native tongue(spanish), I have a good salary job, and I own the house that I live in. I’m established, intelligent, fiscally responsible, funny, in pretty good shape, and pretty good looking (not to sound concieted or anything, I’d give myself like a 7.5 on the looks thing haha)
What can I do to make her want to overlook my past and give me a chance??
You have no further interest in men?
Riiiiiiiight.
Don’t do this to her. It’s wrong and you know it because we both know you’re suppressing your feelings – you’re not over them.
And infatuation is not love.

sorry I don’t have time to read this essay. But I will try and be helpful still. What are you sorry for exactly? If she isn’t ok with it, perhaps you should not be seeing her. She must understand that people do different things to learn different lessons about themselves. There is nothing wrong with what you did. You are just you. Either she loves you for who you are, or not – which is her problem and her loss, or not. Anyway, you can make her want to overlook your past by 1. not revealing it to her so early on in the relationship next time around or 2. showing her how much you love ONLY her. Really, I am bisexual, and I have a big crush on a boy who is bisexual. I can understand experimenting and even him having feelings for other boys. But that was then and this is now. We focus on the now, and I know we both want a monogamous relationship and so we only have eyes for one another.

Just tell her bisexual is cool and kinky. Try arguing bisexuals are the ones who are least shallow because they don’t look at gender, they look at personality of the person (it’s crap but you can give it a go)

Why should she? It’s a known fact that 80% of all gay men or so called ex gay men will eventually go back to men. if you have a heart you will leave her alone and stick with your first love. Or just find women in casual relationships and nothing serious. In the end you will break her heart!

Seriously, you have a past that is going to be hard for a lot of women to "overcome." That’s part of the deal when you experiment in the area of sexuality, it always has a price.
I do feel a bit sorry for you in that she clearly isn’t setting boundaries and her actions are leading you to believe you have a "chance" with her, but really, her actions are speaking pretty loudly.
You can’t make her overlook your past. She has to do that herself, and from what you describe, she’s conflicted about that. Eventually, she’s going to come to the conclusion that this is not something she can really compromise on and in the end, you could very well end up pretty hurt over it.
I would back waaaay off. She needs a graceful way out. I do think she thinks you’re a nice fella, but there are some boundaries that some people are incapable of crossing, through their own ideals, their own background and upbringings, their religion and their families. This is something that you can either struggle with, or accept as just being a condition of the human nature.
In any case, don’t be to hard on yourself, but do face up to the reality that you are likely not what she is looking for in a life time partner. It will be easier for you in the end if you do.

its nothing new buddy…whether gay or straight..it seems no one is very comfortable having a relationship with a bisexual person..no matter how they try to pursue…..
…many people think if we ever leave them for the opposite sex of ur partner….it would be heck lotta tougher than leaving for a someone of the same sex
…
