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?

I would for sure.

Never been in a romantic relationship with a woman before but wouldn’t rule it out. I’m mid-30s now and a few times over the past few years I’ve been deeply attracted to a woman and imagined taking things further if I were single.

No, I have no desire to sleep with a woman either.

Like some others have said I wish I could be bi or gay but I'm just not, so no unless it was platonic.

No, I wouldn’t date a woman. I would not be offended if one asked me out.

No but I am 100% heterosexual. Some people are 100% homosexual and some are a mix so I assume some would and some wouldn't.

My friend is a lesbian and would not consider a relationship/sex with a male

No because I am heterosexual. I sometimes wish I were attracted to women as some of the lesbian couples I know seem to have lovely relationships. I am still getting over my stbxh leaving me for someone else so not really ready to date anyone at the moment tbh.

I would for the sex but I don't think I could do a long term living together type thing.

I'm bi too so obviously would and have dated women. But I was in my 40's when I "came out" although I'd known for a long time and had experienced intimacy with women before then.

But as a pp notes bisexuals are often dismissed or ignored or even belittled not just by het society generally but also in the lgb community.

Often described as "greedy" "indecisive" "not truly committed to same sex relationships" etc

I'm often viewed with suspicion at gay events as a divorcee with a child.

Within my circle I know of a few who wouldn't be open about the fact but have confided to me that if they were to split from their current partner/spouse or bereaved they would consider it.

No, zero sexual attraction to a woman. Shame as get on with women more!

No way. Not ever. I don't fancy women. I can appreciate their beauty, but getting up close. A big turn off

Yes but I've known I was bi since puberty and have had several relationships with women before I met dh. If anything happened to him I can't imagine sleeping with another man.

It has been said that sexuality is on a sliding scale. I have identified as Bisexual since I was a teenager as I felt it was what I was; I would happily be in a relationship with a man or woman and have been attracted to both men and women. But I have never officially come out to anyone apart from casually sharing it with certain friends who weren't miffed in any way. I think my problems are more that I have never been in a relationship even at the ripe age of 35. I probably won't ever meet anyone to have a relationship with in my lifetime but it is what is.

At the end of the day do what you find comfortable and what feels right for you. Any sex between willing and consenting adults is never wrong.

Yes I'd definitely be open to dating a woman if DH & I split up. I've had sexual encounters with women in the past though (although I've never dated one) so it wouldn't be that shocking to me or anyone that knows me

@Graphista that honestly sucks and it’s so weird that people don’t realise you can be attracted to both/all genders. Hopefully peoples opinions are changing!

Probably yes. Not so much from a sexual point of view but an emotional and practical point of view.

I have briefly dated a woman and kissed, I enjoyed kissing her, but struggled with sex. She was very passive though, maybe it would have been better with someone more experienced and outgoing. So not sure if I'm bi. Only been in long term relationships with men. I do find women attractive. Not sure I've the courage to ask anyone of either sex out though.

I wish I was attracted to women as they're much nicer than men, and look after themselves much better.

I. E I'm married to a man and have never even kissed a woman, but now would consider it

Have thought about it and weirdly I would be more than happy to date and have sex with a women even though I really do identify as heterosexual.

@Bluemooninmyeyes1

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

No, not really but OK.

@givememorewinenow

No,homosexuality is against the bible.

Sorry meant to say that to this quote ** not the other one!

Wow can't believe people still believe homosexuality is a sin. Know your history people! Before it was changed to 'man shall not lay with man' it was 'man shall not lay with boy'!

Yes, although I find I fancy far less women than men.

No. I did have a brief situation with a gay woman in my twenties who i thought i was sexually attracted to but when push came to shove it wasn't the case. I have great female friends who i can objectively say are fucking gorgeous, hilarious, kind, empathetic etc but I'd never ever want to have sex with a woman.
