I’m chatting with a straight, cisgender woman on Feeld and we’ve arranged a date soon over food and drink. Like me, she is in her early 30s, consensually non-monogamous , already partnered, and not looking for anything too serious based on my read of her profile. She knows I’m bi because I say so right on my profile, so no surprises. And in case it’s helpful context: we both live in a large, cosmopolitan city.

Obviously, everyone is their own person. But it’s been a long time since I have had a date with a cis woman, let alone a straight one. And I know from anecdotal experience that such connections can be a minefield for bi guys to navigate.

What’s it like these days? Anything I should look out or prepare for?
