13 Best Bisexual Dating Apps, Approved By Experts 2026

Dating apps for bisexuals FAQs, answered:

How safe are dating apps?

“Dating apps aren’t inherently unsafe, but misleading AI-generated content is making it much harder to know who to trust: our research shows 84% of UK dating app users think AI content has made online dating less trustworthy,” reveals Mick Amelishko, AI Advocate at full-cycle verification platform Sumsub. “Despite that, over half of users are open to using AI to edit or generate profile content.”

“Powerful, readily-available AI image platforms make it easy for dating app fraudsters to pull off sophisticated, multi-level scams. Next-gen AI tools, like the one used to create the viral Stranger Things deepfakes, allow bad actors to generate highly convincing images, videos and audio to make fake profiles more believable and build rapport with victims.”

“Over a quarter of users say they struggle to identify deepfakes or AI-altered profiles. This makes your standard online safety starting points – like asking for voice notes or personalised videos – much less reassuring.”

How can you keep safe when dating online?

“Check profiles for consistency across images, personal details and behaviour over time,” shares Amelishko. “Moving to real-time interaction early, such as a video call, helps confirm that a person matches their profile.”

“Give potential scammers as little to work with as possible,” Amelishko continues. “Be mindful of the personal details you share with potential dates before you meet up in-person: personal, financial or sensitive details should not be disclosed to someone only known through an app.”

“This being said, users shouldn’t have to deal with deepfake scammers alone. Dating platform providers have a responsibility to verify user identities and prevent misleading content from circulating. This means moving verification and liveness checks beyond the signup stage, introducing dynamic verification based on suspicious behaviour, and taking the time to educate users on what AI is capable of and how to stay ahead of it.”

Should you specify if you've never dated the same-sex before?

“In my opinion, there is no fixed rule that says you have to disclose that you’ve never dated someone of the same gender,” explains Dr Lalitaa Suglani, eHarmony’s relationship expert. “However, it can be important to consider the dynamic, your values, the other person involved, and how they might feel.”

“For some people, that information may feel significant in terms of expectations, emotional readiness, or how they choose to engage. So, it tends to be less about obligation and more about mutual respect and transparency.”

“It might be useful to reflect on your intention for not wanting to share this, as it ultimately comes down to your values, your comfort, the kind of connection you want to build, and how safe you feel.”

“If it feels relevant, it will often come up naturally in conversation. Sharing it openly, without shame or over-explaining, can actually create more trust and ease on both sides as you get to know each other.”

Where can bisexual people meet other bisexuals offline?

“Everyone is coming offline lately,” shares Edward Reese, Community Manager, Gender and Sexuality Expert at Taimi. “I’d recommend checking for local queer events, speed-dating mingles, and community centers. We’re all for bi4bi – bisexual folks still face stigma and discrimination even in the LGBTQ+ community, and sometimes it’s easier to connect to those who understand the struggle.”

There are plenty of great queer events, whether those are for dating or friendship. If nothing else, you might have luck at a queer bar or club night!

How do you avoid the ‘male gaze' when dating the same sex?

As a bisexual woman, it can be hard to unlearn the lessons of heterosexual dating. Even to start dressing for yourself rather than the patriarchy. So how can you enter bisexual dating without the anchors of the ‘male gaze’?

“Firstly, it’s not about assuming there won’t be dynamics like dominance or differing energies, because those can absolutely still exist in queer relationships,” explains Dr Suglani. “We need to be mindful that every connection is unique, as each person will have different needs.”

“The key difference is that the ‘male gaze’ is rooted in societal conditioning around performance, objectification, and external validation,” she continues. “So, the focus is less on trying to eliminate certain dynamics and more on becoming aware of whether you’re acting from authenticity or from learned patterns of needing to perform, please, or be seen in a certain way.”

“Even within dynamics where one person feels more dominant, there can still be mutual consent, presence, and genuine connection, rather than unconscious performance. It’s about staying connected and grounded in your own desires, boundaries, and truth within whatever dynamic naturally unfolds between two people.”

Any tips for dating as someone new to their bisexuality?

I’ve been there, and it can feel scary. Suddenly, you might know exactly how to navigate dating the opposite sex, but feel completely clueless when it comes to your own, more familiar gender. The truth is, everyone starts somewhere — whether that was at 13, 21, or 49.

The right person will never judge you for being new to your journey.

Treat it like you would any other dating experience: be open and honest about your concerns and insecurities, don’t rush anything physical if you’re not ready, and think about what you actually enjoy in dating… and in the bedroom. There are plenty of great tips online and across social media, and it helps to make some queer friends along the way, so you have people you can talk to openly about your experiences.
