would you date a bisexual?

Ok, so I was talking to some of my friends some time ago and the topic of bisexuality came up. Now, some of them said they would not want to date someone bisexual. Now what surprised me is that these people are otherwise not homophobic at all, and some of them are even gay.
So well, what about you lot? Would you date someone if you knew they were bisexual?

Shouldnt make any difference, really. They're no more likely to run off with someone else
ditto
I wouldnt even look one in the eye!!!
In fact, im not sure they even exist.
I agree.
While, like scarlett said, I can see why people would have the fear of their partner running off with a person of the opposite sex (to me)... I don't think it's any more likely or any more of a threat then the possibility of their running off to pursue another heterosexual relationship -- or bit on the side. If that makes sense.
So yeah, I would.
Wise decision. Everyone knows that you turn to stone if you look directly at a bisexual person. :shocking:
Nothing wrong with being bi as long as it isn't an excuse to get off with a member of the same sex because it 'doesn't count' :rolleyes:
I think it would make things harder though. Everybody knows that a guy will eye up hot girls and girls will eye up hot boys, but I don't think I could take my boyfriend eyeing up hot girls and hot boys, I get jealous enough as it is.
Yeah, of course I'd date a bisexual.
But at the end of the day, it didn't really matter. Cause he was with me, and if he wanted someone else, he'd be with them.
*ahem* On topic! Yeah I would, totally. I guess I'd worry I somehow wasn't good enough but that's what I do anyway!
Tsk, he was too busy sleuthing to worry about carrying such instuments of vanity as mirrors.
I've been out with bi girls and lesbians; that doesn't bother me at all.
I always knew my fiance's past of having feelings for other males (as we have been very close best friends for absolutely ages), but it didn't bother me as I've never had problems with bi/gay people, and he insisted he wanted to be with me, so I didn't question it. After a month or so of being a couple however, he told me he had developed feelings for one of his male friends and didn't know what he wanted. As you can probably imagine, I was really gutted, and felt pretty bad (I took it very personally, and blamed myself thinking I'd turned him gay). So that night, I told him we had to break up.. but then he started crying and said he couldn't live without me as his girlfriend. I then also started crying as I began feeling as confused as he must have felt. He asked me to promise him never to leave him - and I did, despite his feelings for other males, as I loved him no matter what his sexuality was.
As you can probably guess by me referring to him as my fiance, 6 months later and we're engaged and closer than ever. He insists he hasn't felt anything for anyone - male or female - since.
I found it very hard to deal with as I kept getting paranoid he'd go completely gay - that was my only worry as if he turned gay, there'd be no way I could win him back. Otherwise, I see no reason why dating a bisexual individual would be a problem. They're humans just like gays and straights.
Why is it? You might not like the idea of seeing a coloured bloke, does that make you a racist? Generalisations aren't always for a negative reason you know.
You do? How fantastic. Seems like you're making an assumption, which is along the same lines.
Thanks for your opinion. In future, please resist the urge to make assumptions when you have no clue whatsoever about me or why in gods earth i'd have any reason to rattle someones cage on here.
