Re: A trans-man asked me out?

Hmm... I can't say I've experienced the SAME kind of thing, but there's the whole thing where I'm asexual and my partner identified as bisexual when we met, and so there had to be a LOT of discussion before we could figure out whether or not we really wanted to give a relationship a try.

And I'd give you the same advice for this situation as worked for us - openness and honesty. In all likelihood, if he's confessed he's FTM, then it's not like he doesn't already know it might be a complicating factor. There's no shame in saying that yes, it is a complicating factor, and being honest about being uncertain that it could work out in the end. Heck, even straight cisgendered relationships aren't guaranteed to work out, so it's not like that's an unusual outcome even when there aren't matters of gender and orientation involved. He's already willing to take the risk of asking you out and acknowledging being trans, so he apparently thinks you're worth it. So if you're interested in any capacity, you already know that much. The important thing is just making sure you both know where you each stand, I think, and working towards your answer from there.

I agree with this. He's been open and honest with you - I'd give him the same.

Tell him exactly what you've said here: You like him, and he's awesome, and you have considered dating him before. That you're unsure if the sex part would work but you'd be willing to give it a try (if you are, of course).

(Indeed, even heterosexual cis relationships can fail in the bedroom despite both parts being otherwise attracted to each other. Sometimes it's just a matter of chemistry. But people can't know if they don't make an attempt.)
