Dating Etiquette in the Bi Lesbian Community

Bi and Lesbian dating etiquette is quite similar to that of heterosexual rules. With that being said, there are some differences that will arise when dating the same gender, but they are easily overcome with time and experience.

If you are finding that you are having a hard time getting dates, or keeping the interest of a lady, there may be some considerations you should make. Determining why you would like to date is important. Whether it be to avoid being lonely, for a sexual relationship, or for a long term commitment, knowing why you are actively seeking a date can help you narrow down your choices. Be sure that your partner understands your intentions by being open and honest. Play head games will get you nowhere in the world of lesbian dating.

First dates are often the scariest, but they should not be. When meeting someone for the first time, it is important that you let someone know where you are going and when you will return. This is for your own safety, especially if you met your date on an online lesbian or bi dating website. Conduct the date in a public place, such as dinner in a nice restaurant, or a local coffee shop if you are meeting earlier in the day.

If your date is shy and feeling awkward on your first date, it is a sign that you should take the lead. With women couples, it can sometimes be difficult to determine who should be the dominate one. Men generally take this role in a heterosexual relationship, but women may find it too overbearing to "grab the bull by the horns." Typically, your date will appreciate you being the one to take charge, especially if she doesn't seem interested in leading the event.
