A Shot of Tequila

When did you come out as bisexual?
I never officially made a statement. But people knew, because of the way I am. I had blogs about dreaming about girls. But I haven't come out to my parents about it yet. I still haven't. I'm going to hold that off until they find out through the press or something.

Haven't they seen the commercials?
They're old school. They don't have the Internet. They don't have cable. All they know about me is what I send them. I sent them my New York Times feature. They're like, "Oh, wow." But they'll be cool about it. They've been supportive with everything I've done so far, like Playboy.

Did you date girls in high school?
I had a lot of girlfriends. I dated through middle school and high school. I went through phases where I only dated girls and not guys. I went through phases where I only dated guys and swore off chicks for a while.

Didn't your parents see your boyfriends and girlfriends?
Guys and girls weren't allowed to come over. My parents were very strict as far as Asian strict parents. I always went to their house.

Do you get asked out on a lot of dates on MySpace?
Of course. People also ask me to marry them. I just posted up video clips of my new show just now, and the guys are getting really upset. They feel jealous. They're like, "I can't believe you're doing this to me. This hurts to watch you make out with all these guys." I'm like, "Wow, these guys and girls out there feel a connection with me online." I guess through all these years we got to know each other. And in a way, they've kind of fallen in love with me online, with my personality and through the blogs. It's weird. They get jealous when they see me kissing other guys.

Did you ever go out with anyone you met online?
I dated one of them. I met him on MySpace, when it first launched, we were just friends, then we ended up dating for a little bit. But we're just friends now. Wow! Tila Tequila dated someone on MySpace!
