Q&A for How to Date a Bisexual Person

It is perfectly normal. Date whoever you like.

If they are looking for casual sex while dating you, bisexuality is not the issue. Try talking to them about it. If you're not okay with this behavior, consider ending the relationship.

Pick the right moment, like when you are having a heart to heart, or when you are out having fun. Tell your friend, and if he/she says, "No big deal. Thanks for telling me," then great. If he/she has a problem, then find an awesome, open-minded friend.

Just ask yourself if you feel attracted to multiple genders and could see yourself with them. If so, you're probably bisexual. If at some point in the future you realize that you were wrong, that's completely fine -- there's nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with you.

If you have feelings for her its best to come out and say it, then take it from there based on how she reacts.

Coming out is a hard thing to do. Some people can take years to realise that they are part of the LGBT community. If you're still unsure, sit down with him and talk to him about it.

Treat her like a normal person because she is. Read some of the articles that cover this in the wikiHow website. Don’t worry, you’ll do fine. There's nothing special you need to do at all.

It depends on whether or not you would like him to kiss you. If you want to kiss him as well, just lean in for the kiss. If not, respectfully decline his attempt to kiss you by simply telling him that you are not interested.

Then accept him or her.

There's always a chance she's not really straight and she just hasn't told anyone or doesn't yet know herself. If you want to be bold, you could express your feelings to her and see how it goes. If she's not interested, you just have to accept it and move on.

Firstly, make sure that this person likes you. If they do like you, wait for the right moment, then slowly lean in and kiss them. If the person does not like you, then do not force them into kissing you. Doing so will not change their feelings about you; it will only make them feel more uncomfortable.

Your boyfriend being bisexual doesn't mean that he's any more likely to cheat than if he were straight. There are many reasons people cheat, but bisexuality isn't one of them. If your boyfriend were to cheat on you with anyone, regardless of gender, that would be due to an underlying problem in the relationship - or just his own inability to commit to one person - rather than his sexuality.

Mention an LGBT+ topic or two, such as a news event, in a casual way. Share an opinion of acceptance towards LGBT+ people (such as "Trans women are women and should feel safe in women's restrooms" or "I'm disappointed about the anti-gay legislation"). Show that you're a good listener and validate his feelings . This lays the groundwork for letting him know that you're a safe person to tell. Don't pressure him to come out, instead, wait for him to be ready to tell you. When he's ready, he'll say something.

If someone is bisexual, there is nothing you can do to change this. Either accept her for who she is, or tell her honestly that you can't be friends with her. There is nothing wrong with being bisexual, and I suggest you think long and hard about why you would want to change this person in the first place.

Just because you're bisexual doesn't mean you can be polyamorous. Unless you and your boyfriend had an agreement right from the start that your relationship is an open one and both of you get to see other people, it is not right of you to ask him to allow you to be with other girls. The difference between being bisexual and being polyamorous has been something bisexuals have been fighting to make people understand, and as a member of the community, take more time out to understand and respect these differences.

Straight. Your partner's sexuality does not affect your own. If you are not attracted to members of your own sex, you are straight.

Yes, that is perfectly normal. Bisexual simply means that you're attracted to both genders. It doesn't mean that you have to be attracted to both of them equally.

No. Every person is different and has different preferences. Some bisexual women prefer women, others prefer men, and others like both sexes more or less equally.

If you know it's not true, then what else do you need? Sexuality is more of a sliding scale than black and white. Some people like one gender, some people like both, and some people like the person, regardless of gender.

If you are okay with an open relationship, then this is fine. If not, it is time to end the relationship, because you don't fit each others needs. Let her know there are a lot of ways to simulate heterosexual sex.

If you are a guy (or a masculine non-binary person), then most likely, yes. Bi people can be in relationships with bi people, straight people of a different gender, or gay people of the same gender. If the two of you are compatible, and respect each other, then your chances are good.

A bisexual relationship is the same as any other between consenting people. There's no meaningful difference between a bisexual relationship and a straight or gay one. Bisexual people may date people who are straight or gay; you don't have to date someone else who is bi.

There's nothing wrong with that. All you have to do is let your partners know ahead of time that you are only interested in casual sex, not relationships. As long as you're not leading anyone on or hurting anyone, you can have (consensual) sex with whomever you like.

Yes. This is called polyamory. While many bisexual people are monogamous, some are open to polyamory.

You can't "get" someone to love you. Just like you can't "decide" to be straight, you can't make someone fall for you.

Sure! There aren't any specific challenges this couple would face that are different than any other couple. Being bisexual does not increase the liklihood of one partner cheating.

The same way you would stop him from cheating on you with some of the same gender as you: be a kind, loving and supportive partner. Bisexual people are no more likely to cheat than straight or gay people, and if they do cheat, it could just as easily be with someone of the same gender as you.

You should calmly ask her if you can have an exclusive relationship, the same way you would with any other person. If she still wants to date the girl and you're not comfortable with that, then don't date her.

If your partner says that they're not bisexual, then they're not bisexual. Trust them.

Work on telling her that you're bi first. Chat about LGBTQ stuff, and just let her know that you've decided you're bisexual too. Then, if you feel comfortable, tell her how you feel. Let her know that you still want to be friends regardless.
