Would you date a bisexual person? Why or why not?

I used to think this was a straight person thing, but lately I've been noticing that a lot of gays (and even some bisexuals themselves) have issues with dating bisexual people.

Personally, I'd feel too out of my comfort zone to handle it well.

Here here!

Yeah, but you'd hope that people who get discriminated against would think about it when they discriminate towards others and go 'oh yeah, that's unfair and it feels horrible when people do it to me'. Often sadly not.

Sometimes they feel the need to discriminate more to feel like less of a victim themselves :(

Yeah, there's a lot of mono-sexual prejudice against bisexuals.

I don't get it. Why would it put you out of your comfort zone?

I used to not have a problem with it, because I never bothered to think about it, but one day I was talking to a friend about the topic, and all of a sudden I imagined a scenario where I was sitting next to my bisexual boyfriend and then seeing a hot guy walk into the room. I imagined myself checking him out and then noticing my boyfriend checking the dude out too. It just struck me as bizarre, because I've only ever checked out guys with my female friends or gay guy friends. Ever since then the feeling just stuck with me.

See, I don't understand that. If you're in a relationship where noone is allowed to check anyone else out then it doesn't matter, and if you do both check the same person out, isn't that more even and fair, so you should feel less uncomfortable and insecure in the relationship?

Well, I think most people would agree that they'd like to have partners that don't check anybody out. But we all know we do it when we see a really good-looking person. In romantic relationships, I'm just used to the whole "opposites attract" thing, so I'm only equipped with knowledge of how straight men are. I know us girls have lots of differences in romance than men. I have no idea what bisexual men's ideas/ways of thinking in the romance/relationship department are like.

I'm straight. No. I'm a jealous girlfriend and dating a bisexual would mean twice the headaches.

Well put.
