It can be hard to find other bisexuals. Many bisexuals struggle with coming out, and others don't see the point. Even once bisexuals have come out, society still tends to mislabel them as either straight or gay, leading to even bisexuals mistakenly assuming there are no other bi people around them. In fact, many people fall somewhere in the middle range of the sexual orientation spectrum, and finding one another is a wonderful thing! Read on to learn how.
Steps
Know what you're looking for in a partner. Before you join a relationship, figure out what you want. Perhaps you're seeking for a long-term or short-term spouse. Knowing what you want in your relationship will help you avoid future uncertainty and conflict.[1]
Visit well-known LBGTQ hangouts. At gay bars, you might be able to meet other bisexual people. Bisexual folks may also be found at LGBT community gatherings held at local churches. By going where you think other bisexual people might go, you boost your chances of meeting other bisexual people.[2]Advertisement
Join a bisexual or LGBTQ organization or community. In your neighborhood, there may be LGBTQ clubs. They can be found at universities, community centers, and even churches in the area. Look out your local university's LGBTQ groups online to discover if they're open to the public. If you have any LGBTQ friends, see if they belong to any clubs in your region that you can join.[3]- Consider how out you are. Think about whether you can express your sexual desires to other people your age.
- Then find a group for bisexual folks at a nearby LGBT Center or local community center.[4]
Join bisexual social media groups. There may be bisexual communities on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn that you can join. These groups give you with not only dating prospects, but also the opportunity to meet friends with other bisexual people.[5]- Sign in to Facebook and type "bisexual group" into the search field to find a bisexual group, for example.
- Look for social media sites that can connect you with youth groups or a Gay-Straight Alliance.[6]
Consider using a bisexual dating app. Instead of using a full website, you might opt to utilize a dating app on your smartphone if you prefer quick access to a dating profile. Some dating websites offer applications as well, while some apps exist independently of websites. Apps, like web pages, require registration and the creation of a profile.[7]Advertisement
