[Advice]Should I come out?
So here is the thing, until recently I didn't know I was bi. I always thought that I only like men but at the same time I never date anybody (20 yrs that's another story) , but it was until recently that I became aware that exist different sexualities (besides gay and hetero) and start inform myself, it was then that i start thinking about my sexuality and I discover that I like women too, apparently the hints were always there but I never knew that it was okay like both men and women nor that bisexuality existed. the problem is that I don´t know how to come out in front of my beloved ones, I´m afraid what they think of me from now on or worse they don´t believe me (something like "you have never dated before you don´t know what you are talking" or something along those lines). But this is what I feel I am and I think is important they know and at the same time I´m afraid.

Coming out can be super scary even when you really want to do it. I can't tell you, "yes you should" or "no you shouldn't," but I do recommend maybe looking up some articles about myths about bisexual people, so if one of your loved ones does say something problematic to you, you will have a better idea of how to respond to it. For example:
Someone: "How do you know you're bi when you've never dated?"
You: "How did you know you were straight before you dated anyone?"
