Is this true attraction?

I am pretty confused right now. There is a girl I work with who has expressed her feelings for me and I am totally cool with that. However, I’m not quite sure how I feel about her. She is a really great girl whom I have fun with and share interests with. We both enjoy outdoor sports and all sorts of music. The one thing I’m scared about, though, is that she’s bisexual and I don’t want her choosing dick over chick and screw me over. She has a guy friend whom is really attracted to her and whenever we hang out, I get really jealous of him because he has his hands all over her. Before I came out, I would semi-force myself in to liking guys and being attracted to their attraction for me. With this girl, it doesn’t feel the same. Is that because it’s true attraction with her? Or is there simply nothing there? Anyway, if any of you have advice for me, PLEASE share it. She might/will be my first girlfriend and I hers.

Oh boy that is a tricky one! Depends on where I was with my own comfort level at that moment how safe I would feel… I wish you the best!

Whether she would cheat on you has less to do with her sexual orientation (i.e. bisexuality, in this case) and more to do with her maturity level. From your post, I get the impression you have a somewhat negative view of bisexuals, which is unfortunate (e.g. assuming she will cheat because she’s bisexual). That attitude alone is enough to sabotage any hopes of a long-term relationship.

Besides, dating someone at work is rarely a good idea. I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

Best of luck, whatever you decide!

@Dharma Kelleher – Thank you both for your advice. It isn’t an official job because I’m only 18 and it’s actually a mascotting job. I dress up as a Beaver (the animal lol) and snowboard at a ski resort. I don’t necessarily have a negative view on bisexuals, I’m more indifferent about them. And she knows how I feel about it because we discussed the subject. I don’t believe she will cheat on me. I just think that, if the right guy came along, whe would push me aside and run for him.

I think it depends what you want and what you’re comfortable with. Assuming you’re right that her attraction for ‘the right guy’ would be stronger than her attraction to you, then you should NOT follow through on this unless you’re comfortable with a casual fling. If you want to be her monogamous girlfriend, in a closed relationship that runs its course indefinitely, then you should NOT follow through with this. If you’re comfortable having a casual fling with her, knowing that she’s vulnerable to a stronger attraction (whether it’s to a male or female) then carry on and have fun.

If you’re going to have to go to work and see her after a breakup, think about how that will make you feel. Will you be able to avoid her? Will it be unbelievably awkward? If you hit a patch of ice and slid into her, would you die of mortification?

My advice on workplace romance is this: you have to plan your exit strategy before you plan your first move. If you can’t exit gracefully, don’t enter.

And good luck! There’s no shame at all in deciding that this particular matchup isn’t a good one.
