If you're LGBTQ+, what is your take on falling for straight people?

When I think about it (being Bi-curious and never having confronted a person of any gender about my feelings for them, if any), it seems rare that a person, if they've been aware of and had time to fully realise their non-heterosexual nature would let themselves fall for and be hurt eventually by falling for a straight person. I think if it were me, I would naturally be on guard and vigilant to indications.
So how does being stuck in attraction towards a straight person go? Is it generally a present, massive phenomenon? Viewpoints of both experienced and inexperienced LGBTQ+ are welcome! So are of those with heterosexual orientation. Do you know if you have consumed any media where the precise reality of this is presented?
