If I was a girl I would date me so hard. I would date me frequently and I would feel lucky for the opportunity.

For what it's worth, I'd date you, lol.

Anyway, I'm just perusing the thread because I find the answers fascinating from the standpoint of someone who likes to look at society (I'm dork, leave me be, lol).

Possibly, It would depend on how the friendship developed    Years ago before I knew anything about transitioning and had never even heard of FtM or MtF because everyone seem to only relate as either gay or lesbian, there was a rather boyish 'lesbian' that I was interested in

Looking back I suspect if FtM and Mtf were more common at the time my friend and I might have developed a more intimate relationship

We got on great as friends, but he was adamant about being a lesbian and kept trying to set me up with fem. gay men

We drifted apart and later I moved

Yes if everything else worked out . For me it means could you date a dude. Maybe they would be even more understanding of trans issues.

I don't feel sexual attraction towards anyone so for me it's a non-issue. Weird, perhaps, but lust just doesn't enter into it.

And assuming I did feel sexually attracted to someone, even then that alone wouldn't be enough for me to want to date them.

To answer your question, sort of - yes I do see a romantic relationship as something different to a close friendship, but for me the former is a progression of the latter, if it's the right person. I've never dated anyone who hasn't first started off as a friend and the relationship has grown from there. I believe that the strongest relationships are forged that way, rather than based on sexual desire, which can run hot or cold on a whim, or disappear entirely when you see someone else who pushes your buttons slightly more. I tend to be guided more by my heart than my urges.

But that's just me. Everyone's different.

Hmmm well okay. I'm not guided by sexual urges either; I do see a romantic relationship as a progression of a close friendship as well too myself. I wouldn't date someone just because he looked hot either! But if a good friend looked hot then mmmmm

I am somewhat fascinated that so many of you here feel that gender doesn't matter though! I guess being transsexual does affect people's sexuality somewhat

Dating and having sex with someone are two different concepts. 

Only found one woman that created fireworks for me many years ago.

Do feel my gender issues have enlightened me to some degree on vastness of human experiences and expression.

I enjoy learning from another person.  That would be an excellent "date".  I probably am not interested in "sex"

Yes and some of them are smoking hot 

I'm a die hard lezzy and I don't believe in genital essentialism so there's no way I'd date a trans man.

'ok', I just really didn't get what you just said, there ? - sorry !

If your a 'Lesbian' then why would you want to date, a trans man anyway ? do you mean you wouldn't date, a male to female Trans person, or did u mean you won't date an FTM, ? (considering this thread is whether any girl on here would date a ftm) ? But you as a lesbian, wouldn't want to date any sort of man anyway, I would assume. Plus the fact, that you would have a hard time trying to date an FTM too !

I am nitpicking, I am sorry, but just wanted some clarification on what you wrote

I think she meant: "I'm a lesbian, so I wouldn't date a guy to begin with, no matter if he has female genitalia."

Yea that's likely what she meant, and it makes sense.

If one is only attracted to women, then dating a t-guy is just as bad as any other guy...and by what she said I would think that she could date a t-girl, given the right circumstances, because she knows gender is seperate from physical sex.

Thats kinda my deal...I am attracted to men but the male personality of a ftm one day made me realise I am attracted more than anything to the male persona. The body parts are irrelevant, as it turns out.

That was news to me at the time as I had never considered dating an ftm. Besides, now after getting to know lots of ftm's I think they're rather superior to regular guys. Gosh they should be called "mtm's" because they're such regular blokes!

Heh, and what's more my boyfriend has only ever been attracted to and dated women....So here we are, a sooper queer couple, but to the untrained eye we're just your average couple.

I tell him we're so queer we've somehow gone all the way around back round to being straight!!

I consider myself a straight girl but if he is super handsome and looks 100% like a guy and super handsome, why not!

Like someone else mentioned earlier, I have no idea where my sexuality is going to end up either.  Generally I'm more attracted to women, but as my ideas about myself have been opening up and expanding, so has my thinking about pretty much everything else.  So, I guess, if something were to develop wtih an FtM I wouldn't say no, but then if something where to develop with anyone, I probably wouldn't say no

In all honesty, probably not.  I have nothing against them, but if I bother to get into a relationship, I'd rather it be with a cis guy, I've had enough trans stuff in my life already. The way it is now, the only time I really concern myself with anything trans related is here, the rest of my life and interactions with offline people don't involve it or the discussion of it whatsoever and I kind of like that. 

If he's hot... why not? 

I mean really... what's the issue? If he likes me... and I him... who really cares about much else. Certainly not me.

Umm, if he's a guy and you dated him, you'd still be a straight girl.. Why would dating a guy make anything else?

I'm the same way. All of my romantic relationships started out as great friendships first.

I saw someone post a "would you date an MtF" thread in the FtM section so I thought why not post one here?

Be honest 

Most definitely :-) especially if  I fancied him, also knowing that in the UK we could legally marry if we so wished :-)

I don't like girly boys sooo... it kinda depends on them.

interesting responses

Agreed. I kinda expected the topic to turn a different direction- maybe to sexual preferences or their "macho-ness." Or hell, maybe because they have a preference for taller guys and most of us are not. Go fig.

Cheers, ladies.
