Would you date a woman?

[Whatisthis543]

Chatting to my friend tonight (who is gay and this is relevant to the thread)

She was saying that now she’s single again she thinks that things are a lot more open and more women are open to dating women even if they’re not ‘defining themselves’ as gay. I thought it was an interesting one. I’m in a hetero relationship and have never really thought about it, but have you? Would you?

No.

I would consider it but I also know with certainty that I wouldn’t ever live with another man if DH and split.

Well no because I’m heterosexual..

Yes but then I am bisexual I do hope more women are open to it, I know some couples that thought they were heterosexual before meeting a women they fall in love with.

She mentioned it as was talking about asking a woman at the coffee shop out. I asked her if she knew she was lesbian/bi but she said she would just ask her anyway and if she wasn't interested she could obvs say no!

I thought fair enough but just wondered what others would do in this situ. I think I’d be flattered, say thanks but no thanks

No. I don't find women remotely attractive and get the ick at the thought of touching one intimately.

No

And no

Possibly

Would probably have a FWB type situation, I couldn't see myself cuddling up with a woman on the sofa though.

No. Not interested.

Yes cos I'm bisexual. Have decided that if DH and I split up/he died I probably wouldn't actively look for another male partner.

Asking the coffee shop lady out on the off chance is the same as anyone asking another person out. You hope they might be interested and they either say yes or no. They might not be defining themselves as gay but there are plenty more women now defining themselves as bisexual. It's the straight/gay assumption that is harmful because it erases a whole section of the lgB(we're right there)tq+ community. I see you included Bi in your question to your friend OP so this is more a general annoyance than a dig at you (maybe at your friend, though).

I wish I could find women attractive. I think I would be more compatible with a woman in theory. But sadly, I have never managed to feel a physical attraction to the same sex.

She mentioned it as was talking about asking a woman at the coffee shop out. I asked her if she knew she was lesbian/bi but she said she would just ask her anyway and if she wasn't interested she could obvs say no!

We never worry about knowing the sexual orientation of either party if they are opposite sexes. Your friend sounds great. I have been flirted with by another woman and she was very relaxed with my "thanks but no thanks", so much easier than turning a man down.

Nope. Unfortunately I only fancy men although that's wearing thin now

No. Not interested in women sexually.

I also cannot imagine that DH would ever consider dating a man if we were to split up.

@TheMobileSiteMadeMeSignup I just respected her to be fair. I think I’d lack the guts to ask somebody out off the cuff, unless they’d shown signs of clear interest, but that says more about confidence than sexuality 😂

I wish I was gay.

I would, if we were compatible and attracted to each other.

I could definitely fancy a woman to a point, but I wouldn't be up for much past kissing. Definitely not oral.

I’d be open to it. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it I suppose.

Yes, if I met the right person.

No

Yes, up to now all my partners have been male but I I’ve met women over the years I’ve been drawn to and wouldn’t rule out a same sex relationship.

I find it hard to imagine, as I have never really felt attracted to a woman. But if I felt like doing it I wouldn't have any hang-ups about it.
