DEAR DEIDRE: WOMEN have always drawn my eye but lately I have found myself attracted to men which has surprised me.

My normal type is women who are highly feminine but over the past few weeks I have found myself attracted to very delicate men – it’s so confusing.

I am a 35-year-old single man. I’ve had many happy relationships with women and never even thought about having one with a man.

But over the last year I’ve found myself eyeing up men. The ones I’m attracted to tend to be very feminine.

Harry Styles and Tom Holland are the type of men I admire.

I wonder if this is because I am attracted to feminine women as well.

I don’t understand why I suddenly have these feelings.

How can I deal with these feelings?

I am not going through a midlife crisis so I don’t understand why now.

DEIDRE SAYS: You are correct – it is not a midlife crisis.

For many people, sexuality can be very fluid, and it is not uncommon to be attracted to someone of your own gender at some point.

While labelling yourself isn’t always helpful, it could be possible that you are bisexual.

My support pack Bisexual Questions will help you think this through.

You may find it helpful to talk through your feelings.
