In the dating world, a "unicorn" is a term used to describe a single person who joins a couple for a relationship, whether that's for a casual encounter, ongoing date, or a committed three-person relationship (often called a triad). While unicorns can be of any gender or sexual orientation, the term most commonly refers to bisexual women who are open to connecting with both members of a heterosexual or bisexual couple.
The term "unicorn" reflects the perceived rarity of finding someone who is:
Interested in and compatible with both members of the couple, not just one.
Willing to navigate the unique dynamics of joining an established relationship.
Able to communicate needs, desires, and boundaries effectively.
Capable of navigating complex emotions that can arise in multi-person relationships.
At BiCupid, we recognize that unicorn relationships can take many forms, from casual encounters to deep emotional connections. Our platform provides a space where unicorns and couples searching for unicorns can connect authentically, with clear communication and mutual respect as foundational principles.
Unicorns hold a special place in the dating world for several reasons:
The ability to form meaningful connections with both partners simultaneously is a rare and valuable quality that creates unique relationship dynamics.
Unicorns often bring an open-minded approach to relationship structures, embracing non-traditional dates with adaptability and understanding.
Successful unicorns typically excel at clear, honest communication—a skill that benefits any relationship dynamic they enter.
Navigating the complexities of joining an established relationship requires exceptional emotional awareness and empathy.
From a couple's viewpoint, searching for a unicorn can be motivated by various factors:
Many couples see adding a third person as a way to expand their relationship's emotional and physical dimensions, bringing new energy and perspectives.
For some couples, connecting with a unicorn is part of exploring their sexuality, boundaries, and relationship dynamics in a consensual, supportive environment.
A unicorn may bring qualities, perspectives, or energies that complement what already exists in the relationship, creating a more complete dynamic.
Opening a relationship to include another person requires vulnerability and trust, which can strengthen the original partnership when approached thoughtfully.
For couples searching for unicorns, respectful approaches are essential:
Approach potential unicorns as complete individuals with their own needs, desires, and boundaries—not as accessories to your relationship. Take time to understand who they are beyond their potential role in your dynamic.
Openly share the current state of your relationship, your experience level with non-monogamy, and what you're genuinely looking for. Hiding challenges or presenting an idealized version of your partnership creates a foundation of mistrust.
Be aware of problematic "unicorn hunter" behaviors, such as imposing rigid rules that protect the couple while restricting the unicorn, or treating the third person as disposable. Aim for equity in how everyone's needs are considered.
Allow the unicorn to develop relationships with each partner at their own pace, rather than forcing a perfectly balanced triad from the beginning. Authentic connections develop organically and sometimes asymmetrically.
For unicorns navigating these relationships:
Before engaging with a couple, clarify your own boundaries, desires, and deal-breakers. Know what type of relationship structure you're comfortable with, whether that's purely physical, friends with benefits, or a deeper emotional connection.
Don't hesitate to ask couples about their relationship history, how they handle jealousy, previous experiences with non-monogamy, and what happens if stronger feelings develop. Their responses will reveal much about their readiness for a healthy dynamic.
Your needs and boundaries deserve the same respect as the couple's. Be wary of situations where the established relationship always takes precedence, or where you're expected to conform to rules you had no part in creating.
Preserve your autonomy and outside connections even as you develop relationships with the couple. Having your own support system and identity outside the triad is crucial for your emotional well-being.
"After several disappointing experiences with couples who didn't respect my boundaries, I found Mark and Elise on BiCupid. They took the time to get to know me as a person first, were transparent about their expectations, and never pressured me. What started as casual dating has evolved into a loving triad where I feel valued as an equal partner. Communication has been our foundation, and I've never felt like an outsider in their relationship."
"My husband and I had been discussing opening our marriage for years before we finally took the plunge on BiCupid. We were fortunate to connect with Sophia, who was experienced as a unicorn and guided us through the process with patience and wisdom. She helped us navigate jealousy, communication challenges, and scheduling complexities. Two years later, we maintain a beautiful friendship with benefits date that has enriched all our lives."
"As a bisexual man who enjoys connecting with couples, I often felt invisible in dating spaces that primarily sought female unicorns. BiCupid's inclusive approach allowed me to find couples specifically interested in male thirds. The platform's detailed filtering options helped me connect with Thomas and James, a gay couple looking to expand their relationship. We've been together for over a year now, proving that unicorns come in all genders."

While both involve three people, being a unicorn typically implies a more ongoing relationship with a couple rather than a one-time encounter. Unicorns may develop emotional connections with both partners and participate in their lives beyond sexual experiences. The relationship might involve regular dates, shared activities, and deeper emotional involvement. However, the term is flexible—some unicorns prefer casual, primarily physical connections with multiple couples, while others search for a committed triad relationship.
Absolutely! While the term "unicorn" has traditionally been applied to bisexual women joining heterosexual couples, people of any gender can be unicorns. Men may join heterosexual couples (particularly if the male partner is bisexual), lesbian couples, or gay male couples. Non-binary and gender-fluid individuals also serve as unicorns across various relationship configurations. BiCupid welcomes unicorns of all gender identities and the couples searching for them.
Look for couples who ask questions about you beyond your sexual preferences—your interests, goals, and boundaries. Be wary of couples who rush the process or focus exclusively on physical aspects. Established couples with experience in ethical non-monogamy often better understand the importance of treating unicorns as complete individuals. During initial conversations, notice if they discuss logistics for your comfort and needs, not just their own. Trust your instincts—if you feel objectified rather than valued, it's better to move on.
Before searching for a unicorn, couples should have extensive conversations about jealousy, boundaries, and expectations. Your relationship should be stable and secure—adding a third person will amplify existing issues, not solve them. Consider practical aspects like time management, privacy needs, and how you'll handle potential romantic feelings. Educate yourselves about ethical non-monogamy through books, podcasts, or community resources. Most importantly, recognize that the unicorn is a person with equal value and agency, not an accessory to your relationship.
Jealousy is natural in any relationship structure and particularly common in triads. Address it through open, non-judgmental communication when everyone is calm. Identify the underlying fears or insecurities triggering the jealousy rather than making restrictive rules. Practice compersion—finding joy in your partner's happiness with another. Establish regular check-ins where everyone can express feelings safely. Remember that the goal isn't to eliminate jealousy but to process it healthily. If jealousy becomes overwhelming, consider working with a therapist experienced in non-monogamous relationships.
