Hi all,

Could do with some help please!

I've been chatting to a bloke online, seems nice. He has just informed me he is bisexual 'in case it puts me off'.

Not sure I can fully explain why, even to myself as I have zero issues with anybody's sexuality but I would prefer not to continue this. We haven't met but I do want to be decent and give him a response.

I'm not looking to be called a homophobe as I assure you I am not. Just want to be tactful.

How would you express this politely??

Thanks!

And you then suggested we need to think about it. We don’t. How dare you suggest we do

What’s so offensive about asking someone to think about something? I promise it doesn’t hurt

People can be attracted or not attracted to other people for any or no reason. It could be their sexuality, it could be that they have hairy ears, are too tall, their scent, have an amazing voice. it is down to the individual and no deep thinking or introspection or explanation is required.

Fair do’s. I don’t tend to check dates - but I don’t think it was me who resurrected it

You're not exactly being 'decent' by completely disregarding him because of this.

Clearly you're very narrow minded so reply saying you're exactly that and he deserve someone who can fully accept who he is.
