Hey there,

I think it's natural to have a certain level of curiosity when it comes to dating someone with an identity you are not completely familiar with. When I began dating women, there was a part of me that wondered if it was because I actually wanted to be with women or if it was because of curiosity as to what it would be like. For me, it ended up being the former. It did take a bit of evaluation on my part, though.

Because you're not committed to her yet, don't push yourself to determine whether your interest is legitimate or simply based on curiosity. Take some more time to get to know her and find out if she is someone that you are compatible with. If it's possible, try going out for coffee or a meal to see if the two of you are able to hit it off in person. As time goes on, you'll know if you're genuinely interested in her or if you're simply wondering what it would be like to be with a trans woman.

I'm pretty sure this goes without saying but, if you do realize your feelings are simply based on curiosity, pull back. She deserves to find someone that will fall for the person she is and you deserve to be with someone that you are genuinely interested in.

Take care!
