Were you able to tell that the person was bi-sexual or did you think the person was just "very friendly?"

I've met a few bisexuals, and am bisexual myself. I have pretty strict personal boundaries, and rarely touch other people, but socially, away from here, I'm usually friendly. It's a pretty popular myth that bisexuals are promiscuous, and non-monogamous, but I haven't noticed either issue prevalent among bisexuals any more than among heterosexuals. I'm not attracted to many people, male or female, since I am very picky about who I get involved with, since I have to have pretty intense feelings about someone before I am interested in being intimate. So no, we don't do it with everything that moves.

No I haven't in person. But I don't know if friendliness means anything about bisexuality. There are obviously many bisexual people and who "identify" as bi sexual. But I think theres a decent chance that a good amount of people you know or have met could be bisexual but are secretive about it and you don't know because they are attracted or perhaps date or have sex with the opposite sex more often and just being on the dl. I very well could be wrong, but I can read subtlies and mannerisms pretty well and not know, but have an idea some what of who among others would be the most likely to be experimental type, or seems to be one that would beinterested or has been or is interested or open to exploring the other side. Whereas, one's who are not attracted or interested in the same sex as all. So no not of who is bisexual, but I guess who would be more apt among others to have bi tendencies or bi curiosity as in interest and not just wonderment or thoughts, because anyone can wonder or think about anything, which is different from desire or interest. When I say this, I'm talking about people I know fairly well and not just some one I know as an aquiantance or someone in class or something.

I think the label of "very friendly," is not an accurate indicator of bisexuality. Everyone has their own theories about others' sexualities which are usually based on behaviors and personality. The only way you can actually know for sure is if that person tells you so.
Also, I have met many bisexuals. I'm a tad homophobic but can get past those fears when I talk to people. I had a gay roommate for a couple years, and saw him as a guy who is a good friend. I also have an aunt who's a lesbian (married to a woman), and have done a lot of theatre with many openly gay men. No big deal.

A while back, I'd had a strong/sexual relationship with a young Canadian woman and visited her at McGill University in Montreal.. and then after hosting her a few times, again in Vancouver where she'd settled.. after the first night, we talked about how (more than letters we'd sent/shared) she'd blended one friendship, with a woman into more of a love-relationship.. she'd been exclusive with her for a few months. We hadn't communicated in more than that time...
It was ending, but I'd never termed her either way.. and she never did herself either. That's the way it should be, and I wasn't affronted, effected or otherwise competitive... in fact, things blended well into what we were used to for days on end, and she could talk openly about anything.
"Very friendly" is kind of an immature way of putting it, and really it's quite unncessary.
A good make friend of mine was also dating men & women, and didn't label himself.. if this helps. People that do, may be doing so for identity purposes... as if they're being edgy and so, cool... which is very stupid.

I have met a few people who enjoyed dating both genders. I could never tell by just looking at them. I would not describe them as annoyingly friendly toward everyone, though. They were regular people with their own personalities. I also try to keep an open mind and not prejudge anyone. That enriches my life with new and exciting friendships.

One of my closest friends is bi-sexual and for the first ten years or so of our friendship I had no idea she was bi-sexual. In fact, she was married with two kids, but upon her divorce she revealed to me that she did have interest in women (sexually) as well as men, she had never acted on that interest before, but after her divorce, she began to explore those tendencies. It was all kind of mind-blowing, to me, because there was never any indication that she was bi-sexual before that. I never would have guessed it. And in fact, when she finally told me, I didn't at first believe her. I thought she was just going through a very "strange reaction" to her divorce or something...but it's been five years since then, and she really is bi-sexual.

particular me. might take too long to describe each thing that occurred right here. quickly: replace into in a rapidly courting and greater effective than satisfied. something undesirable occurred. Ended up getting (enormously lots) raped by using a guy. enjoyed the journey. Spent some years soul finding and are available to the top that it replace into okay to be gay. i got here across that I understood adult males greater desirable and favored their agency to women. It regarded a logical selection, particularly than any form of instinct or emotional element.

I have an ex boyfriend who identified as bi. He wasn't "very friendly" with other people. It doesn't mean someone isn't capable of monogamy. I knew because he was open about it from the beginning, and I knew he had ex partners who were male.

My cousin is bi I think. And my ex's roomate was bisexual. She used to look at me and make me feel like creepy! Eew! She told my boyfriend that she thought I was cute! My boyfriend used to tell me she was jealous of me! Eew! But my cousin is confused. She dosen't know what she wants. She is crazy. She isn't friendly either. Not at all. I love her anyway, I speak to her like everyday! But to each their own, as long as they don't disrespect me!
