To me, BP is not a big deal at all. If they want to know, I can tell them about it. It's nothing I'm ashamed of. We all have our demons.

My bff is OCD and my best guy friend is ADHD, it really doesn't matter. They're wonderful people and only true friends won't think less of me because I'm bp.

As far as dating, I don't mention it unless I think they are worth it. And I don't tell them my whole life story, i just say "yeah, I'm bp, no big deal.'
