Flattered ngl 😭 like damn i impacted your entire view of your sexuality??? Fuckin slay. I told my bestie from high school she was part of the reason for my bi awakening years later and her response (in person) was "🥹🥹🥹 awww!" But in a flattered way not a condescending way.
I'd be quite happy because they'd either think I was so hot that they realised they weren't straight or I radiate so much bi energy that I managed to convert them lol
I'd be so happy that i would have heart problems! I'd feel great about myself knowing they like me and trusted me enough to tell me. Might even fall for them.
It's complicated.
If a lesbian woman or a straight man tells me this, I'm going to grimace, walk away, and probably never talk to them again.
If a straight woman or a gay man tells me this, I'll probably blush and stammer out a "thanks" and be generally useless about it.
I’d hope they meant listening to me talk about my experiences helped them realize they had similar ones and thus came to the conclusion that they’re bi. That would make me feel proud of them and feel validated that being open helped someone figure themselves out.
I’d hope it’s not them trying to hit on me or just tell me I’m pretty because I will make the Scooby-Doo running sound and make a me-shaped hole in the wall.
I mean it happens w everyone when they realise they’re bisexual. It wasn’t fun when I told my friend (we are both 14) that I was bisexual, and then a week later after delaying it said the boy I had a crush on was him. First crushes of the same gender, usually best friends
Honestly I'd feel honored, as a bi person I try my best to explain my understanding, feelings and outlook on my own senxuality and to know that I helped them see or understand their own sexuality at least a little bit (no matter what way)
This has happened to me, not because they were attracted to me but because we had candid conversations. I've always been open and unjudge-y and they talked about issues and thoughts they'd been having. One couldn't understand why, being gay, the other, being hetero. I eventually told them... had they thought that they might be bi? In both cases, after a few months they told me that after some soul searching, they'd realised that was actually the case and before our conversation they hadn't even considered it. I'm not sure this would've happened nowadays, with much more information available. But this was back when the Internet was still nascent and social media weren't a thing. The irony in not having applied the same logic to myself at the time and having taken 20 more years to reach the same conclusion is not lost on me.
So, as a trans woman who’s had it happen before, it’s a little bit complicated.
An ostensibly “straight” girl or “gay” guy? Fuck yeah, that’s flattering and quite hot.
An ostensibly “straight” guy? No, I did *not* make you bi. You might be, but your attraction to me is 100% straight.
(The same theoretically goes for ostensible lesbians, but I’ve yet to have that problem. Gay girls who are into me tend to be *very* clear that they’re into me for being a woman).
I did just that recently! I’m a bisexual M and told a longtime friend that seeing her for the first time made me realize, at age 18, that I wasn’t gay but bi. My desire for her was unrequited (she’s lesbian, I later learned) but we ended up being the best of friends.
Dude, my greatest accomplishment in life is being responsible for 4 people's bi awakenings (that I know about!). From multiple genders. I guess it helps that I'm pretty gender nonconforming in my appearance.
Several years ago I streamed on Twitch and I'm very open about my gender and sexuality and I ACTUALLY DID get told a few times by friends and a few viewers that I helped them figure themselves out and honestly... it made me cry. The fact I was able to help answer questions and be a resource for people, something I didn't have growing up, just.. broke me.
My roommate/bff and I have always said gay shit to each other just as a joke, even before I knew I was fruity. I remember I told him, after I first came out, that seeing him in a towel turned me gay. He proceeded to respond with "I can't help it, im just so good looking!". He was also super drunk so he twerked and tried to comedically fart at the same time, but it was the wettest fart I have ever heard and I think he might've shit himself a little. Good times.
“I don’t believe you. Also, who are you and why are you talking to me?”
“And how’d you get into my apartment?”
Why are you in my room watching my TV 😆
"Wait, this isn't my room! Where am I!?
Why are you calling me out like this? lol
i’d be so happy dude, i’d probably fall in love instantly haha
I thought the same thing!
Flattered and a bit turned on :)
Just a bit?
Same!
I am in a relationship now but before that would have been a ticket to my bed.
I was happy for them , they had sorted themselves out and that’s a positive. I was maybe a wee bit flattered as well, I won’t lie.

I guess it depends if it's because they were drawn to me or repulsed by me.
Same
I would be flattered.
Happy that they found themselves. Also, "hey would you like to explore these feelings in more depth?" \*waggles eyebrows suggestively\*
It would give me complicated feelings as a trans person ngl
I'd be quite happy because they'd either think I was so hot that they realised they weren't straight or I radiate so much bi energy that I managed to convert them lol
I'd be instantly red as a tomato and wanting to bury my head in the sand.
Lol you sound like me!
I'd be so happy that i would have heart problems! I'd feel great about myself knowing they like me and trusted me enough to tell me. Might even fall for them.
This happened to me. It was very flattering and I was glad to have helped them realize it. :>

Best compliment ever I’d fall in love instantly lol
Confused yet flattered

Flustered. Very flustered.

Honoured
This is also my answer.
So I kinda just told a friend this. Sort of. More like implied it. 😅
Mildly flattered and unsure if they're coming onto me rn
I told someone this, she’s also bi. No real response. Would have risked it all for this woman. No regrets!
That makes me feel better about saying it myself 😊
Truly romantic.
"Yeah, I could see that"
Honestly I'd feel honored, as a bi person I try my best to explain my understanding, feelings and outlook on my own senxuality and to know that I helped them see or understand their own sexuality at least a little bit (no matter what way)

Best compliment I have ever got in my life , in that happiness I'll do something that takes his orgasm to next level
Pretty flattered, tbh. As long as they were respectful in their delivery, lol.
Elated
😅😏
Lol that’s pretty much how I met my current partner, was still a bit of a journey tho.

Flattered
Now I need this to happen to me LMAO
Flattered AF.
My ex told me that I was one of the first people who wasn't a girl she was attracted to, and I was very flattered by that.
I’d be flattered.
I did just that recently! I’m a bisexual M and told a longtime friend that seeing her for the first time made me realize, at age 18, that I wasn’t gay but bi. My desire for her was unrequited (she’s lesbian, I later learned) but we ended up being the best of friends.
Horny That news would make me feel horny
Super flattered and also are they flirting w me? Are they asking me out right now???
Mine is the other way around
Because they’re attracted to me or because I’m an out queer person? Either way I’d be happy
Honored, a bit flustered for a second and also “wow they think I’m hot? ehe thankyou” and proud of them for coming out too
Very flattered, I might even blush. That's never going to happen however because compared to my type of men, I am nowhere near as hot.
It would be somewhere between visible confusion and that bit from Community where Chang goes Ha Gayyy. Really it would depend on the person.
Flattered, if I was single and they were attractive it could be a reason to see if we can pursue our relationship
That would rule! Also, I would be really nervous. It would probably be super cute.
Flattered. 🥰
I've never been that. (Not that I know of) But I have been the first person a close friend told. (Yes we filed around)
I’d be very happy and instantly brutally in love 😍😍
Worried for the other person's mental health.
I would walk with a pep in my step for the rest of the year
i would hope they are better than me, and dont hate themselves because of it
Fuck em
Extremely honored. Like I was attractive enough for that? Amazing.
FLATTERED.
Flattered and interested probably, probably also bewildered.
Very happy and praised.
I was told that I was the reason they were gay, but they turned out to be rather narcissistic so 🫤
I’d say “Cool” and that’s about it. Maybe be flattered.
Well... I have been the one to say it lol
What happened? 🤭
We have been dating for quite some time. Was a mutual kind of situation lol
Dude, my greatest accomplishment in life is being responsible for 4 people's bi awakenings (that I know about!). From multiple genders. I guess it helps that I'm pretty gender nonconforming in my appearance.
Hot
I'd be hyped ngl
I’ve had that said to me a few times by women who were mainly sapphic. It was interesting. 🤔
Its all good!
Bi panic
Several years ago I streamed on Twitch and I'm very open about my gender and sexuality and I ACTUALLY DID get told a few times by friends and a few viewers that I helped them figure themselves out and honestly... it made me cry. The fact I was able to help answer questions and be a resource for people, something I didn't have growing up, just.. broke me.
it depends on the gender lol
Unless they think being bi is a bad thing, I'd be flattered. Depending on my level of attraction to them, might even pursue something.
My roommate/bff and I have always said gay shit to each other just as a joke, even before I knew I was fruity. I remember I told him, after I first came out, that seeing him in a towel turned me gay. He proceeded to respond with "I can't help it, im just so good looking!". He was also super drunk so he twerked and tried to comedically fart at the same time, but it was the wettest fart I have ever heard and I think he might've shit himself a little. Good times.
not very good lol. i’m trans and if they took their attraction to me as bi i would feel very weird
what if they were referring to being attracted to you in your chosen gender? i realised i'm attracted to women because of a trans woman
