I recently came out as bisexual after years of identifying as straight, and while it feels like a huge relief to acknowledge this part of myself, I’m finding it hard to actually change how I date. I’ve mostly dated men before and kind of default to those patterns - like looking for certain behaviors or interests that I’m used to. I want to be open to dating women or non-binary folks, but I feel like my brain just jumps right back to what’s familiar, and it’s frustrating. I’ve tried joining queer social groups and even dating apps that are geared toward bisexual folks, but I often end up swiping or messaging in the same way I always did before, and that doesn’t feel authentic. It’s like I’m caught between who I thought I was and who I want to be, but not sure how to bridge that gap. Has anyone else dealt with this feeling of wanting to explore new parts of your attraction but getting stuck in old dating habits? How did you start to shift your mindset or behavior to actually embrace your bisexual identity in your dating life?
