Dating in New York hasn’t worked out so well for Basit Shittu, a 26-year-old musician and drag performer.

“I have been single for two years too long,” the Williamsburg resident, who prefers to use they/them pronouns, tells The Post. Shittu identifies their gender as non-binary, which they describe as “when someone doesn’t necessarily feel like a boy or feel like a girl.”

Shittu is among the 16 singles searching for love on the reality dating series “Are You the One?” airing Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on MTV. For Season 8, the dating series — which originally premiered in 2014 — has transformed into a LGBTQ extravaganza.

It’s the first show of its kind to feature an entire cast that identifies as sexually fluid — an umbrella term that includes bisexual people, as well as those who are open to dating people who are gender nonconforming. In other words, literally any cast member could get hot and heavy in the “Boom Boom Room” — a private room that’s exactly what it sounds like — with any other.

Beyond the season’s gimmick, the show works the same as in previous outings. The group of sexy singles lives together in a house in Kona, Hawaii, where they party, flirt and compete in challenges to win epic dates. Prior to filming, matchmakers extensively interviewed the contestants, as well as their family, friends and exes to determine a “perfect match” for each single. If the group can figure out every pairing, they’ll share a pot of a million bucks. But with gender lines nonexistent, discovering the matches will be harder than ever.

And so far, it’s proven to be a difficult task. Spoiler: Over the five episodes since the June 26 season premiere, no matches have yet been confirmed. But it’s not for a lack of trying.

‘What a cool way to come out, on national TV.’

Justin Palm, a 24-year-old who lives in Harlem and bartends in Hell’s Kitchen, has gotten cozy with several cast members. Palm tells The Post that at first glance, he was attracted to about 90% of the group. In turn, he quickly became a hot property.

“It wasn’t really a surprise,” the US Navy veteran says with a laugh. “I don’t really have to go chasing after a lot of people.”

The LGBTQ community seems to approve. GLAAD Media Institute staffer Mackenzie Harte tells The Post in a statement that this season “has taken great strides in accurately and responsibly representing people who feel attraction across the gender spectrum.”

“‘Are You the One?’ focuses on the experiences and emotions of each individual cast member, allowing them to tell their own story and define themselves in their own words,” says Harte.

One such individual is Paige Cole, a 22-year-old restaurant server who lives in Bushwick. Cole decided to use the show to reveal her true self before even telling her family and most of her friends.

“Being dramatic, I was like, ‘What a cool way to come out, on national TV,’ ” she tells The Post.

Cole, like Palm, calls herself bisexual, but stresses that she could and would also date non-binary people. (Saying “bisexual” is just easier for the average person “to grasp,” says Cole.) Shittu, on the other hand, opts for the term “pansexual,” which they describe as being “attracted to people not based on their gender or their genitals.”

Viewers of the show are likely to be exposed to new terms, given the breadth of LGBTQ experiences covered. For the contestants, the rainbow of people — from nerdy Danny Prikazsky to Tarzan-haired Jonathan Monroe — made the cast’s time in Hawaii a sort of queer paradise, sans outside judgment.

“It was very freeing,” says Palm.

Of course, freedom led to plenty of hookups — a fivesome caused a stir on last week’s episode — and drama was never in short supply. But, ultimately, the cast members say the show is something of which they can be proud.

“I think straight people have fivesomes and I think straight people have messy relationships,” says Shittu. “We all date the same because we are all the same. We all just want to find love.”
