Re: Bisexual or not?
There isn't some kind of International Orientation Certification Committee that can tell someone else what their own orientation is. That truly is up to you: it's something for you to observe your own patterns and feelings with over time, using whatever words or terms feel most true and comfortable for you.
By all means, some people of any orientation -- including heterosexual people -- don't find they want to have dating or romantic relationships, but do want sexual ones. What kind of relationship you do or don't want with someone isn't really about orientation, that's about what you want with relationship models.
What sexual orientation is about is about feelings of romantic or sexual attraction (either or both): it's about if you feel sexual and/or romantic desires for people.
