How do I tell if I'm lesbian or bisexual?
This quiz said I "might" be a lesbian. I definitely know that I like girls but I only sometimes think that I like guys. And while I think that some guys are attractive, I don't get butterflies thinking about them the same way I do when I think about women. Am I a lesbian or am I bisexual? How did you know that you're a lesbian?

How compatible are Aries and Cancer?
I feel like I haven't heard much about how well romance works between a Cancer and Aries. It seems like a good match at first glance and looks like they get along. Is this combo one that works out or should I be cautious?
