Dude, of course it is okay. You are just as valid. You can date anyone you like as long as they are consenting to it. Some people seem to forget that sexuality is fluid and thats the whole point of the lgbtq+.. to be all inclusive. Anyone who invalidates you and guilts you about it is trash. Since it doesn't effect their business. They can prefer not to date a bi person but they have no right to disregard you. Differnt peolle have different preferences and that's okay. I personally have no issue with it as tons of people out there so don't worry about it! You got this!

Reading some of the comments makes me wonder if it's ok for me, a bi woman, to date a lesbian. Like I know it's ok but idk
I've know about this prejudice towards bi people but I've never encountered it irl, probably also bc I know more bi people than gay/lesbians, but this unsure feeling has been bothering me since I wanted to try an dating app, and I wasn't sure if i chatted with a girl, then would i have to make clear that I'm bi? If i'm bi would they dont wabt anything? Would it be better if I date bi women or men? That's kinda what has been keeping me from dating apps so yea
Haha this doesn't have much to do with the story I just wanted to get it of my chest bc it's been bothering me for a while and I didn't talked to someone abt it
