Advice on Dipping my Toe into the World of Bisexuality

[CuriousandReady]

Long time poster but name changed for this.

I have been married to a man for may years, separated for 2 years. I've done the online dating malarkey for the last year and I must admit, it is dire out there.

I have always been curious about sex/a relationship with a woman, and this was further cemented when a good friend came out and married a woman.

I do find some women very sexually attractive, as I do some men. I would say I am curious more than anything else.

So, how do I go about exploring this? Online dating with a clear profile? I don't want to lead anybody on, I have no idea how id feel if I did chat to, date, sleep with a woman. I don't want to make anybody feel used or as an experiment.

Oh wise women of MN, please help and advise a confused and curious woman.

Hi @CuriousandReady. Yes like any dating online has the numbers. Honesty is important but no need to apologise for who you are. As with men, some women are very bad news, don't think it's all flowers and jollity. So be realistic and take your time is my advice.
Women's discos still exist in some parts of the country and they can be a good way to meet women

Thank you.

Yes, my friend had an awful experience with a woman she dated so I am very open minded to what may be out there.

I may have a little browse and see what happens.

Good luck, op. Please do be clear with your profile/chats that you are bisexual. Many lesbians aren't comfortable daring bi women, for a variety of reasons.

I will be completely honest with what I am. I dont want to offend or use anybody.

Thank you

I would just be very frank about where you're at on a dating profile and then there's no question of misleading anyone else.

Some women will immediately scroll past you as they won't want to be in that position but there will be others who are up for something and won't be offended if there is a sudden change of heart etc because they appreciate the uncertainty that you're experiencing.

Just keep the lines of communication open throughout and then you won't be leading anyone on - you will have to use your judgement too that the other person is really on board with where you're at.

Do as others have said, but also, be very aware that putting bisexual in your profile, sadly, means people assume you are open to having threesomes. It's all I used to get asked, and it got very annoying very fast.

Thank you for the heads up!
