For those here who aren't bisexual, would you date someone who was openly bisexual?

Sure, probably the best decision I've ever made. Considering I'm so weird that I'm just barely straight that is.

I would be totally ok if she has a girlfriend, but no another boyfriend. :twisted:

I do not think that somebody being bisexual implies anything that is relevant for a relationship at the general level. What it could be?

Good question! I suppose when you love someone that much, you might but I can't lie, I might be uncomfortable with the idea. Something i've never considered until now.

Even though I am in a relationship with a straight NT girl (I myself am also straight), I believe that if a breakup happens between us, I would be okay with dating a bisexual girl just as much as she would be with dating a bisexual male.

I don't think I would care. Do I like them as a person? Am I attracted to them? Do they like me in the same way, do they find me attractive? That's what matters. I mean, unless you're a young teenager you expect most of your peers to have some relationship history before you. Why does it matter if those previous relationships were with men or women? What matters is how the person feels about you now, and how you feel about them.

If I really dug her, I would.

But I'd have to REALLY dig her.

I wouldn't want my lover to, all of a sudden, lose interest in men just for the heck of it.

That isn't the case for a significant amount of us on here. Way to make adults with no relationship experience feel inadequate.

Someone being openly bisexual wouldn't make or break a date for me.

I'm pretty sure bisexuality doesn't work that way where you lose interest in one sex, though you may gain a more intense interest in one sex. I'm not bisexual so I wouldn't know.

I would prefer to date a woman who is only interested in men, if for no other reason, because I already struggle in a dating sense to compete amongst males. I don't want to sign myself up for competing against members of both genders.

It has happened. But not to me, fortunately.

Women have “discovered” their lesbianism, and left their husbands.

And guys have “discovered” their gayness, and left their wives.

This is not a matter of morals. People “leaving” people tends to be a sad affair.

Merry Christmas, by the way.

It wouldn't bother me. My current girlfriend is bicurious & my 2nd girlfriend was bisexual or pansexual. What would bother me is if my girlfriend were dating someone else besides me. I've known some bisexuals who believe being bisexual means they can have a boyfriend & a girlfriend at the same time in order to get all their needs met. That I would have a problem with.
