Getting started with bisexual dating
Make space for your own identity and the kind of connection you want.
Begin with your own intentions
You might be looking for dates, friendship, a partner or simply a conversation with someone who understands bisexuality. Explain what feels relevant now without promising a future relationship. Another bisexual person may have a different experience or a different goal. A useful introduction makes those differences easier to discuss instead of assuming that a shared identity settles every question.
You do not need to prove your identity
Bisexuality does not depend on a particular dating history, a current partner or equal attraction to every gender. Share the language that feels comfortable to you and let others describe themselves. Avoid asking someone to demonstrate their orientation through personal stories or photographs. Getting acquainted can begin with ordinary interests and a willingness to listen.
Use curiosity without making assumptions
An inviting question leaves the other person free to answer in their own way. Ask about their interests, what brought them to the site or something they mention in their profile. You can also say that you are still discovering what you want. Keep the conversation mutual, and allow either person to decide that the connection is not right for them.
