You want to meet bisexuals online in a safe, friendly context. But finding legitimate connections is hard. Despite the best intentions of search engines, the web is lousy with content-light sites about bisexuality that are little more than vehicles for commercial activity.
- How do you know whether a particular site or forum is safe and legitimate?
- How can you protect yourself and your information?
- How can you meet the right people, in the right context, the right way?
Finding a bisexual social site that meets your needs.
Although many people spend tons of time online, we still are hardwired to communicate best face to face. In terms of evolutionary time, it hasn't been that long since we dwelled in caves and small villages. Our minds and bodies are best adapted to those kinds of circumstances – not to online worlds.
That's why it's so much easier to select potential mates in real life. You can joke with people, flirt, engage in telling nonverbal communication, and use other subtle tools (such as input from friends) to assess danger or select prospects.
On the other hand, flirting online can be more intense.
You can spend time to make yourself look better, sound smarter, and react with more poise. The intensity can lead to rapid escalations that you would never get in real life. For instance, 5 minutes after meeting a sexy stranger in a chat room, you might be asked to take off your shirt or pose for a bawdy picture on your webcam.
Elements of uncertainty abound online. Is a potential match lying to about his or her age, gender, occupation, etc? If you send a snapshot of yourself, will the other person use it inappropriately or even try to impersonate you or steal your identity?
To protect yourself, be wary about giving out personal information, such as your full name, your address, where you work, etc.
If you feel even slightly creeped out by someone you meet online, break off contact. It's better to be safe than sorry, and there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Take time between your online contact and real-life meet ups. Don't rush into things. When you go out on dates, start at a public place, and be sure that friends and family know where you are.
Lastly, give yourself some time and opportunities to (safely!) figure out your own process.
Online dating is such a new phenomenon. Even if you read every "how to" article about it on the web and beyond, you'll still need to formulate your own process and revise it over time.
