I'm a bi girl but I'm concerned that women won't want to date me because they'd think I'd leave them and men will think I'm a cheater or just want sex. How can I get past this fear?

I am also bi. Don't worry. Remember a relationship (weather you are straight, bi, or gay, etc.) is built on trust. How does a straight couple know the other partner will not cheat on them? It is all about trusting each other.

The only way to fight the misconceptions the people may have is to spread knowledge. When you start dating, you can tell the other person about your sexuality, and make sure you discuss how it really feels and what it means to be who you are. If they have doubts or perplexities, encourage them to express them, discuss them, and help them overcome them. Sometimes, all people need to become more accepting is the chance to get to know better a reality they don't have a vast knowledge on, and for every person who is given the chance to open their mind, the world gets a bit more inclusive.

To get past the fear you will have to accept and love yourself. People may think you are a certain way, but what they think does not control who you are. If you love yourself their thoughts and opinions will become moot compared with the truth you know.

Any fear can be overcome when you expose yourself to it. You are concerned about what others will think about you due to your sexual condition. You cannot control their thought, feeling and actions. however, you can control yours. Do not stop dating women because you fear what they will think about you. Besides, what they will think about you is their business... there's nothing to do with you. Enjoy life and be happy!

I am also bisexual. My best advice is to realize that the people who dont want to date you because they think you are a cheater and not worth your time and effort. Decent people will realize that bisexual people are not all cheaters and these are the people who truly deserve a relationship with you.

I think that to get past this fear, the best way is to actually experiment the dating. It is important not to generalize, because not all men and women are the same! Each individual can react to situations differently and the only way to really know is to have experience and know what kind of individual is really your type.

you can try and prepare yourself, but experiencing it will be totally different and more intense. I know it's easier said than done but you have to just go out there and experience these relationships whether it's with men or women and you can show them what your all about

Honestly, some people might think this, but that is based on their own insecurities, it isn't about you. Remind yourself that you are not people's thoughts, and most people won't even feel this way. The right person will understand there's a difference in attraction and cheating. Your sexuality doesn't make you a cheater or anything, and worrying about that shows you care too much to hurt someone that way. Speak with your partner openly and honestly when the time comes, building a relationship of trust.

Try to remember that even though there are lesbians who have these irrational feelings, it is not universal. I am a lesbian, and I have absolutely no problem dating a bisexual girl or any girl attracted to other girls. It's hard to remember, but there are so many understanding people out there who won't care about your label. There is nothing wrong with being bisexual, and I hope that people don't ever make you feel like there is.
