This usually means being fine ......   1 reply

You can have different preferences when it comes to romance and sex. I'm assuming you're a girl? If so, you maybe bi/pan-romantic and homosexual. (Flip homo for hetero if you're actually a guy) In other words, you wouldn't mind dating/being more than friends with a dude, but want to boink a chick. But I wouldn't put to much stock into labels.
