Hi!
I’m hoping this thread might put me at ease or help me with some things that are worrying me, as I don’t have many queer friends to chat with now I’m at home.
I’m a 22 year old cis woman and have been identifying as bisexual but recently my dating interest have centred more on women. I don’t know why but men tend to make me more nervous dating wise. Now I know this is normal, preferences and all, but I wondered if any other bisexual people get a sad feeling when they feel an interest in the other sex. When I look at men I think they are attractive and could see myself dating them but I almost feel sad like I’m losing part of myself or worry that this means I will never date a woman. I’m wondering if this is something other bi people experience and if this is normal?
Also, at the moment I would really like a girlfriend I’ve tried multiple dating apps even speed dating but I never seem to have any matches or people don’t want something serious. I’m feeling a little low about this. Then my mum says well why don’t you go for boys more on dating apps but that makes me feel rubbish like I’ll never find a woman who wants to date me? This probably sounds really petty, but I just wondered if other people have found other ways to meet queer people to date. Especially because a large majority of queer women on apps are more hyper femme whereas I prefer a more masc or chapstick vibe.
Thank you for reading and I’d love to hear other peoples words of wisdom or experiences 😊
