(Love just got a whole lot more complicated.)

Now I won't get into the intricate details of whether bisexuality is just a phase, an endpoint, an excuse to get double the sex of a homo or hetero, etc. That's for others to discuss and debate. I'm just going to say that I think, yes, one CAN make a relationship work with a bisexual. In my opinion though, it will be much harder than making a relationship work with someone who's interested in just one sex.

Why?

Because a bisexual will be checking out twice as many people as someone straight/homo: boys AND girls will be getting his/her attention.

Not to mention you have to mentally/emotionally prepare yourself to deal with potential cultural/social judgementalism.

BUT. If the bisexual boyfriend/girlfriend is truly loyal only to you, then I don't see why the relationship can't work out. Straight men check out girls and can be loyal. Straight women check out men and can be loyal. There will be twice the temptation, but yes, bisexuals can check out both men and woman and be just as loyal. And if that's true, and both people involved are emotionally mature enough to handle the situation, then it's anyone's game. Just prepare yourself a bit before diving into one.
