About Matt
Expertise
I can answer questions on coming out, sexuality confusion and reactions from friends and family - I have been through all of this myself. Feelings, thoughts and does the "he/she like me" stages too. I may be younger than some of the experts but I am talking from 1st hand experience and I know what it is like. Having problems at school or don't know how to tell people? I can help with that too. Don't hestitate to ask me your questions, I am here to help.
Experience
I am a bisexual teen who has come out to family and friends. I have been through the stages of "Am I gay or am I bi?", the reactions and opinions of students at school and also had trouble from people because of my sexuality. It is something I feel strongly about and want to help others, like AllExperts helped me.
Education/Credentials
I am still in full-time education and have taken my GCSE's. I have got 10 A-C at GCSE and am now at Sixth Form studying for my AS & A Levels in ICT, RE & Psychology.

Question

I'm just having trouble meeting girls that are bi or lesbian or if I do meet sum1 I become nervous I'm just really idk
Answer
Hey Vanessa,
Don't worry about coming out yet. If you are happy with your sexuality yourself, and have told your close friends then that is cool, everyone at school doesn't need to know and probably most won't care or want to know anyway. When you come out is a personal decision, therefore just wait until you are ready, now a few people know then you may get a few people asking you if it is true, and all you need to do is respond with a yes, which is coming out but not making a big drama of it which will get a better response than telling everybody, most of which won't care.
On to your second point, it will be hard for you to meet people being only 16 [I'm 17 so I know exactly how you feel] as a lot of people haven't come to terms with their sexuality yet, never mind thought about coming out to people. I know this doesn't help you really, but don't worry about it just yet. Just keep your eyes open when you are out and about and don't be afraid to meet new people, but as I said, even though you deeply desire to be with someone it is best to wait for the right person rather than jumping into a relationship with anyone and it being unhappy.
If there is anything else you wish to ask, or need more advice and/or help, then don't hesitate to ask a follow up question.
Matt :)
