I honestly didn’t know what to expect coming back to dating apps as a trans woman. My past experiences were… complicated. People either ghosted, fetishized me, or weren’t serious. I took a long break—almost three years—focusing on myself, my transition, and learning to attract someone who would love me for all that I am. I knew I wanted a real connection, not just surface-level attraction.
When I returned to BiCupid, I was cautious. Conversations were okay at first, but nobody really stood out. Then I saw her—a bisexual woman whose profile immediately felt genuine. She wasn’t “experimenting” or checking a box; she seemed emotionally aware, confident, and open.
Her profile included a set of questions meant to filter people who weren’t serious. Normally, I’d be wary of questionnaires like that—but this time, I felt seen. I answered honestly, and soon enough, she reached out.
We started talking, then texting, then calling all day. For the first time, someone treated me like a full woman, not a curiosity. She embraced my identity without hesitation, flirted with me like a woman, and loved me like a woman. It was healing and exhilarating all at once.
Two weeks in, the connection was undeniable—but we had one big obstacle: distance. She lived in Iowa, I was in Virginia. The old me might have hesitated, but I knew I couldn’t let this go. I drove 17 hours to meet her.
From the moment we met, it felt like home. She saw me, really saw me. Fast-forward two months: she now lives with me, we’re engaged, deeply in love, and expecting our first child.
Some people might call it “fast,” but when you finally meet someone who truly understands you—someone who sees your soul—time feels different. BiCupid helped me find her. Not just a date, not just a connection—but the person I was meant to love, and who was meant to love me back.
Because this time, I didn’t just want love—I found someone who chooses me completely.
