3 Things You Need to Know About Dating a Bisexual

If you are interested in dating a bisexual man or woman, there are many questions that can come up if you have never dated a bisexual before. Being bi is still a bit of a mystery for many, and that’s okay. The important thing is that you are open to learning more about dating us! For the most part, we find that others are just curious what it’s like to be bisexual and of course, what it is like to date one!

1. We identify with both the gay and straight communities

Generally speaking, most of us were raised in a heteronormative environment and likely started off being attracted to the opposite gender. Of course, after discovering we were also attracted to the same gender, we found likeminded men and women in the LGQBT communities. This has allowed us to see opinions, views, interests and misconceptions in both gay and straight cultures. We probably know a lot about both communities, so if you’re going to date us you can expect us to be well informed on issues and opinions from both of these worlds.

2. We may be more open to your fantasies

One of the misconceptions of being bisexual is that we cannot commit to only one person or that we will want everyone we see. This is not true. We can stick to the same person for the rest of our lives and still be bisexual! However, if you happen to be interested in a MMF or MFF threesome, there is a good chance we would be happy to fulfill the fantasy with you. In fact, if you really want to add a threesome to your sexual experiences at some point in your future relationship (and many couples do!) then dating a bisexual is a great way to increase the chance that the fantasy will be mutual. Or you can find a third that is bisexual, to complement your existing relationship.

3. Being attracted to both genders doesn’t mean everyone is attracted to us

Some people may think that being bisexual is the best of both worlds because we have more options but this is not necessarily the case. Just because we are attracted to both genders doesn’t mean everyone is hot for us. In fact, many people are a bit hesitant to date us because they think we are actually gay or transitioning to being gay. And just like straight or gay relationships, not everyone we meet and like is going to like us back. So even though we like two genders, our success rate is likely not any higher than yours.
