Chapter 1: The Unexpected Turn of Events

Life often throws us curveballs, and serendipity can be both humorous and daunting. As I venture into the realm of new experiences, I'm allowing my bisexuality to flourish. Growing up, my family didn't embrace my attraction to women, which led me to predominantly date men for a significant portion of my life. However, I've always appreciated the beauty of the female form, often sketching it in my notebooks. My experiences with men have been tinged with caution, largely due to past traumas.

The dating app I'm using showcases many individuals in polyamorous setups, often in search of a third partner. However, this dynamic doesn’t appeal to me. I refuse to be the “Unicorn” that partners exploit and discard.

Recently, a captivating woman reached out to me, and our conversations flowed effortlessly. She is knowledgeable about history, genuinely kind, and engaging. Eager to connect, I proposed a museum outing, a personal passion of mine stemming from my previous volunteer work at one.

Despite some scheduling conflicts, we finally settled on a date. However, she mentioned her husband and children, causing me to reconsider my assumptions. Initially, I dismissed him as an ex-husband, but as our conversations deepened, it became clear that she was married and seeking a connection outside her marriage.

The day before our planned date, this revelation troubled me. While she spoke fondly of her husband and their life together, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease. Upon revisiting her profile, the truth was undeniable: she was married and looking for intimate friendships.

Section 1.1: Reflecting on Past Experiences

I've dabbled in polyamorous relationships before, but I wouldn’t claim expertise. The thought of being a potential “Unicorn” for her and her husband left me questioning my ability to participate. In the past, I’ve faced uncomfortable situations where friends sought to involve me in threesomes, which only reinforced my desire to keep my sexuality private.

The notion of being reduced to a mere participant in someone else’s dynamic is disheartening. I’ve often found that when I reveal my bisexuality, it triggers a specific expectation: that I’m available for a threesome. This misconception has led me to withdraw from friendships where my sexuality is merely viewed as a means to an end.

Subsection 1.1.1: Setting Boundaries

As I prepare for our museum date, I realize I need to establish boundaries right from the start. My intention is to clarify that I'm not interested in being part of their intimate life. I need to understand whether her husband is aware of her dating outside their relationship and if she is allowed this space for herself. I refuse to be merely an appetizer in their relationship.
