I’M currently attracted to three different women.

I’m 28 and have only ever dated men, but now find myself drawn to individuals of my own sex. I look at guys and they leave me cold.

But the women I see out fascinate me. I’ve never so much as kissed another woman, but want to. l feel very confused about my true sexuality.

My last boyfriend was lovely, and devastated when I finished with him.

The truth is that I just didn’t “feel” it with him.

I felt guilty for keeping him all to myself when something was missing.

I now realise that “something” was a woman’s touch.

How are my family and friends going to react when no-one we know is gay? Sadly, my parents are very old-fashioned. JANE SAYS: You can be with anyone you like.

Of course you’re scared, because this is a new beginning for you.

But you owe it to yourself to be honest about your sexuality.

You know from experience that being with a man doesn’t make you feel happy or fulfilled.

Even though the last guy you dated was kind it always felt as though something vital was missing from your life.

I suggest you tread slowly, because there really is no rush. Then, when you meet someone special, you can proceed at your own pace.

Don’t get hung up on what your parents think; this is about you and your happiness.

Your parents have their life and you have yours and you don’t have to apologise for who you are or who you want to be.
