Sexuality is really not so black and white. Unfortunately, we frequently have limited vocabulary and frame of referece within which to discuss it.
Are you familiar with the Kensey scale? It presents gay-bi-straight as a spectrum rather than having to pick sides.
http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/research/ak-hhscale.htmlThe good news is that you are on the cusp of a generation that is starting to recognize this. Date who you are interested in... Men, women, trans... You never know who you will fall in love with.
One of my good friends was married to a man for 20 years or so. He was a jerk, so they split up. When she was in her 50s, she ended up falling in love with her best female friend. It took her completely by surprise and she didn't know what to do. They are engaged now. Neither of them had ever considered themselves gay or bi.
Try not to worry too much about labels. Yes, it makes things a little more complicated in the dating scene... But you'll work it out.
If you fall in love with a man, adoption is an option!
