    I only realised a few minutes earlier how stupid and closed-minded I was to think the way I did when I posted this.

    Of COURSE it doesn't matter whether the person's bisexual or gay or straight! It matters on how the person is, and how they control themselves. I know bisexual people aren't all promiscuous etc. I feel really stupid about what I said! It is completely out of my usual character. Sure, like "No One" said, I worry a little bit, but if I was pursued and he ensured me of his trust, I would have no trouble dating him.

    Sorry for the temporary (insane) biphobia!

    Sexual orientation doesn't matter too much to me, since I've only dated bi girls, but at this point, if I were to date another bi girl, I'd rather her have more of a preference for women than men, only because of past experiences, if that makes sense. I'd also them be the type that doesn't have a boyfriend AND a girlfriend.

    I would have problems going out with people likely to leave me for anyone so i guess that I would pick someone with a "one way" orientation either completely gay or straight but nothing wrong with us bisexuals but the chance of being hurt is less when the partner only likes half the population!

    For me i have to really click with them before i want to start something with them. So in the end if i find someone who cares about me and loves me i wouldnt care if the peson was a boy or a girl. I would just be happy to have someone who loves me for who I am. plain and simple. :slight_smile:

    well, i am bi, so any girl/guy is welcome. however, i've had bad experiences with guys so far, and have never had a girlfriend, so at the moment i'm more likely to date a girl.

    Hmm, well it would be hard for me to date a straight male now would it? So yes, sexual orientation does have an influence on who I date. ;P

    i think its unfair to purposefully not date someone just because they are bi. just because we like both sexes doesn't mean that while we're dating one we're constantly being tempted by the other... we can be faithful!!!
