Why is it so hard?

[redheadhoneycat]

Why is it so hard to meet other bisexual people? We live in a small East Texas town and we really feel isolated. We know we are not the only ones but everyone is so hush hush it is difficult. How do we meet people? We just are not sure where to start....seems like people we have chatted online with all live way to far away so does anyone else have this problem? Or we run into people that are married but hiding it from their spouse. Another couple would also be great but we are not into breaking up a marriage.Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks! :tongue: :flag3:

Hi, I have the same problem.

I live in a city of 80,000 and yet I still can't find any bisexual people who aren't hiding it from there spouse or are not interested in being friends. I have been on this site for a while now and just recently I found someone in my area who is interested. I hope something comes of it, and hope things get better for you!

I think that meeting other bisexuals is pretty hard in most places--its not exactly a topic you bring up when you are out with friends or over the dinner table----

and there are no chain of stores/bars or whatever called "Bisexuals-R-Us!"

I am afraid that it is going to remain a tough thing in most places to be bisexual and to find others of like mind---

I personally find it easy but I can tell who is bi and who isn't and I am out too so that helps.

Plus I go to queer bars/clubs and it's easy to meet people in those places, or online.

Diamond Dog there are not any gay bars anywhere around here.There was a short time we were in Fort Worth and we loved the gay bar we went to. We never tried to pick any one up then but we had a blast....also back then I had no idea he was bi. But I think it is awesome...just wish he could have told me sooner. Because now I feel even closer to him as now I feel we have even more in common. :bipride:

On a serious note, just keep on doing what you're doing. Post to bisexual places online. We've met a lot of folks that way.
I know around here, bi couples are really rare. Living in a small town where no one is out is difficult. Posting online is the only way that we've found nearby folks.

Good luck!

Thanks Anne! I will keep it up. It is not only for play reasons but it would really be nice just to make some friends that have these things in common.I guess we would feel comfortable because you know they are not in judgement of you since they are into it to. :flag4:

i don't know that it's any different any where really. i live in new york city and i only know a handfull of bi people. i volunteer with a lot of queer groups, but there are mostly lesbian and gay people at them. not many bi people are involved. the bo people i have met, i have met through meetup groups, at the GLBT community center and through craigslist.

good luck!
