This distinction can save bisexual singles a lot of wasted conversations.
Someone who is interested in you asks about your work, your weird food opinions, what you do on Sundays, the places you’ve traveled, what makes you laugh, and what kind of relationship you’re hoping to find.
Someone who is mainly interested in the idea of bisexuality may keep steering the conversation back to your sexuality.
Who have you dated? Have you ever done this? Would you do that? Which gender do you like more?
One awkward question doesn’t automatically make someone a bad match. People sometimes phrase things badly.
Look for the pattern.
If you change the subject and they keep bringing everything back to bisexuality, that’s useful information. You don’t need to convince yourself to keep chatting just because you matched.
Your sexuality can be part of what someone likes about you without becoming the only interesting thing about you.
