Summarize the following:
Bisexual people can find either sex attractive, though they won't be attracted to everyone. To figure out if they may be bi, listen to them comment on other people's bodies. Additionally, point out attractive people to them and see how they respond. For instance, let's say you're at the beach with your friend. A guy who is bi might say things like, "That girl is fine," while also saying things like, "I'm so distracted by that guy's abs." If the person is bisexual, they may have dated or had crushes on people of any gender. Listen to what they have to say about their partners or crushes. Additionally, consider what they've shared with you about who they're interested in dating. For instance, let's say you know your friend has been dating a guy recently but previously had a close relationship to a girl that seemed romantic. This could mean your friend is bi, but not necessarily. Similarly, let's say you know a guy who often dates women, but he's also talked about how he thinks a mutual male friend is the perfect guy. He may be bi. Someone who is bi and in the closet might not want you to know the gender of the person they're dating or crushing on. Instead of using "he" or "she," they might use "they" or "them" when referring to the person. Listen to them closely to see if they tend to do this. For instance, they might say something like, "I ran into my ex the other day. They're doing well, but I'm still glad we broke up." They might also be using "they" because it's their date's preferred pronoun or because they think gendered pronouns are outdated. Don't automatically assume that they might be bi. Someone who is bi may not like talking about who they date because they're worried they'll accidentally reveal too much. Consider if the person never wants to talk about their love life, even if you ask about it. Then, tell them about what's going on in your love life to see if they reciprocate. You might say, "Dating has been rough lately. Last weekend I had a first date, but it didn't go well." Then, see if they share. Don't pressure them to talk because they may not be ready. Additionally, don't assume that someone is bi because they won't open up to you. They may just be a private person. Sometimes media representations show bisexual people as either androgynous or over sexualized. However, both of these stereotypes are misrepresentations. Don't judge someone based on the clothes they wear, the hairstyle they choose, the way they walk or move, or the way they talk. For example, don't assume a girl who prefers short hair and masculine clothing must be a lesbian or bisexual.
Pay attention to what the person says about people's attractiveness. Reflect on the person's past relationships and crushes. Notice if they use "they" when talking about dates or crushes. Recognize if they refuse to talk about their love life. Avoid making assumptions based on how someone looks or speaks.
