As a lesbian would you go out with a bisexual girl?

I'm interested to hear from lesbians whether you would consider a bisexual girl as a potential partner.

Would it influence your decision to date or go out with a girl if you knew that she wasn't a lesbian but identified as bisexual and was attracted to men as well as women?

Wouldn't matter at all.

I would hope it's the same for most (not dismissing the very real biphobia in the community - just hope it's becoming less of a thing.)

I'm not attracted to women, but I can't see why anyone would refuse to date somebody based solely on the fact they identified as bi, other than that person's own prejudice and mistrust on the issue.

Wouldn't have a problem, if someone is gonna cheat they'll do it wether they're attracted to men, women or both. Can only assume that's the root of the issue for some people, could be wrong.

I would however be weary that the 'into girls' thing is only a part time fascination, that they're primarily straight and that's the life they see a future in, been burned by that before

I'm a gay man. I wouldnt see any issue at all with having a gay man as a partner. Like so what if a person is attracted to men and women.

I'm a lesbian married to a bisexual woman, so no complaints here!

I was her first relationship with a woman so in the beginning I did have a little unease that perhaps she would want to "go back to men" but 100% of that was my own insecurity, she never did anything to make me feel that way.

Too many people (including myself, at first) fall into the mindset of "oh, bisexual people just haven't made up their minds yet" or "oh, they're just experimenting" and that's not cool. Their sexual identities are just as valid as someone who only attracted to one gender. So no, I wouldn't have any hesitation. If I had, I'd have missed out on my wonderful wife.

It wouldn't matter at all for me. All my relationships were with bisexual women and everything was fine. I was a bit worried the first time and unease that she was attracted by men as well as women. But really, it doesn't matter who she is attracted with as long as you are happy together I believe having confidence in each other is the key to feel less insecure.

As a gay man, I wouldn't be concerned about dating someone who is bi, I look beyond labels to see what the person is really like. Once they respect my rules about no open relationships and being faithful I couldn't care less what their orientation is.

This seems to be a common issue between bisexual and lesbian women-I've experienced it personally myself in the past. I would date a woman who identifies as either but I would be a little weary of a girl who said she had never dated women before and still was primarily attracted to men and testing the waters- that would make me think I was an experiment and I might then be question whether there was a future but from a casual perspective, don't see that it would matter.

It wouldn't bother me but it would be new for me!

I understand the concern that the bisexual girl in question might be experimenting but I suppose every situation is unique and every relationship will play out differently. At the end of the day- trust is trust... regardless of how people identify.

Wouldn't bother me either

As someone who identifies as bisexual but leaning overwhelmingly towards women romantically and sexually, I have had rejection from gay women for that reason, which is a pity. There are a lot of bisexual women I think who maybe hop back and forth to men and gay girls have experienced maybe being used or something, so I do understand their need to protect their hearts, but it's a pity as I'm sure a lot of potentially great matches get overlooked due to some women identifying as bi and the gay girls not being comfortable with that.

A lot of my lesbian friends say they wouldn't date a bi girl but I would once the chemistry is right and I'm lesbian. It is a pity, I say a lot of women are missing out!
