In a world where homosexuals want to be accepted as having been born homosexual, and heterosexuality is still the norm, bisexuals are viewed by some as deviant nymphomaniacs who love just any sex. Take this label in stride as it doesn't really matter (some people are even turned on by the notion) and take comfort in the fact that your dating landscape is twice as wide as that of wholly straight or gay individuals!
Homosexuality is still considered by some in the United States as immoral or unnatural, but the general population's opinion on the issue has been steadily swaying in the direction of acceptance, for some time, and at this point, being a homophobe is seen by many in the same light as being a racist. Prejudice exists of course, but the prejudice against prejudice has a pretty good foothold in American culture as well. With that said, going to the local honky tonk festival or to the nearest church function is not likely to land you a whole lot of same sex dates, nor is it likely to land you a person of the opposite sex who is totally cool with you being willing to date people of your own gender. Put yourself in more liberal or neutral environments and your odds of stumbling across other bisexual people increases. Dance clubs are a good bet, as are shopping malls and fashion based establishments.
Flirting can be obvious such as walking up and making conversation or more subtle such as shifting your body toward her while flashing a faint smile. Lesbians particularly enjoy flirting of the eyes.
Everybody is different, but women who are attracted to women generally seem to flirt in a more subtle way than men.
Flirting is part art and part observation of human behavior. Here is a list of some common ways women flirt with other women;
-Starting conversation with her
-Complimenting her
-Locking of eye contact
-Glancing down at her lips while you're talking
-Smiling at her
-Smiling with your eyes
-Standing or sitting close
-Leaning toward her
-Biting your lips
-Twirling or playing with hair
-Touching her on the arm or leg to make a point
-Picking lint off her clothes (even if it isn't really there)
If you're going out on the town and you're ready to get your flirt on, try these tips to get yourself prepared. The first step is to look and feel good before you even walk out the door. Get dressed in something that makes you feel good and confident about yourself. When you arrive make sure you hold your head up and walk with an air of confidence. Loosen up and smile. Get out and mingle. Talk to people and flirt when you feel an attraction. See if they respond in kind.
When all else fails just walk up and say hi, my name is (insert your name here), what's yours? If you end up in a conversation that's great. If not, you were being friendly and that's always nice, right? This simple approach works more often than you might think.
Remember that most of the women you bump into in a bar or social setting are going to be sitting there waiting for someone to approach them. They probably haven't read our guide on how to flirt with women. Be bold - go get 'em!
