Have you turned black Havoc
not that hard
good luck!
I mean, if you just want them to see you with a guy, find a gay friend to hang with.
If you MUST tell them something, by your own admission, you are Not gay, you are bi. A world of difference in the minds of some.
I wish you well. :)

What purpose will it serve to tell them about your sex life? Especially that your "bi". I could see maybe if you were gay. But even then, why do people feel that they need to inform everybody of their sexual preference?
Did your parents ever discuss THEIR sex life with YOU?
I would not tell her... and those same sex 'friends' in your room would remain friends to her. But if you are having some fruity guy with heels and a mini spread eagle in your bed every night...i would tell her.
They may get mad it also sounds like from your description "i don't want to date" implies maybe your actually lesbian which is even more scary for mom and dad and you. It is up to you to be honest with yourself you don't have to tell them unless keeping the secret hurts you inside? if so you might want to tell them. But if you still live at home It may make things really miserable and they might kick you out. some parents are irrational like that, so have back up plan. Your dad might be okay because he doesn't want guys having sex with you anyway. Mom might freak out! But, I'm probably about your parents age and most of my friends might not care but i know a few that are ass backwards and would freak! It comes down to you, can you handle the truth? I'd say yes! they won't kill you, your their kid but they might be mad for awhile. I think parents sometime take things personally and may feel like it is their fault this is happening which implies they are bad parents when they are not because they don't understand it. If you tell them reassure them it is not a reflection of them or their parenting but something inside of you.
Good Luck
Peace
Why do you have to tell your mother you are bi?
I don't ever recall straight people going up to their parents to tell them that they are heterosexual so why should you tell your parents you are bisexual?
Why is your sexual preference anyone else's business but your own and those involved in your sex life?
