Compared to the US, Britain’s formal dating culture is frankly a bit ramshackle. That Sex And The City thing where you chat to someone on the street, get their number, go for dinner, and then either work out what’s wrong with them or propose? It doesn’t happen much over here. In Britain, asking for the phone numbers of random strangers is not a popular activity, and even the dinner-and-a-movie dating structure is a minority sport. Many British people are happily married to people they have never actually dated. Instead, they went to school with them and just never broke up. Or they got talking at a house party, fell into bed and never fell out again. Or they can’t actually remember how they got together or even how they met; it just crept up on them until they woke up one morning and found they had kids together. Of course, there is online dating. Online dating has a bad reputation with some people, particularly older people who assume everyone on the internet is a robot or a serial killer (or, in rare cases, both), but it’s essentially just another way to winnow down the dating options until you find someone you can stand to live with.
Whatever your chosen approach, dating while bisexual comes with its own specific issues.
