As a bisexual person who has mostly ended up in relationships with people of the opposite sex, there are reasons for that:

• First of all: it's a numbers game. There are more straight people out there than there are non-straight people, so the chances of you meeting someone of the opposite sex with whom you share a mutual attraction are just bigger than meeting someone of the same sex.

• There is still a stigma around same-sex relationships, so in some ways, having a relationship with a person of the opposite sex is "easier" than having a same-sex relationship. Opposite-sex relationships are seen as the default by society, so they receive less scrutiny. Also, if you are in an opposite-sex relationship, you don't necessarily have to be 'out of the closet' to everyone you know. All of these things might cause nervousness or apprehension when pursuing same-sex relationships.

• You can have a preference! Many bi people do. That doesn't make a person any less bisexual. And it is perfectly fine for that preference to chance over the years or even day to day.

What was the switch from an office job to this more straightforward and useful job like? I have an office job and I like to write in my free time. I'm thinking of making a similar career switch.

What were the things that took getting used to? Or things that surprised you the most?

Thank you so much for your answer! I'm actually a journalist, and I don't find it conducive to creative writing at all either. It actually takes up a lot of creative energy, which is why I'm thinking of switching careers to give my creative writing more space. But it's scary to give up one dream to chase another, more fragile one. You've given me a lot to think about.

Thank you so much for answering my question! I'll be sure to get your book, I'm very excited to read it :)
