I have a question...

Hello all,
I have a question I am a 23 year old bisexual woman looking to find places in the columbus OH area to meet women. I don't date much either men and women simply because I'm having trouble finding places to meet them. Right now the only places that I know of to meet other women are either at bars which it seems most come with partners anyways and online which it seems like there are more married women looking for a threesome which I'm totally not into. I have been racking my brain trying to find someplace to meet people in a comfort zone. I have to say one of the main reasons I'm having trouble is I don't really like the bar scene I'm just not comfortable. I know I've posted on other message boards and some have suggested support groups. I don't know that I really want to do support groups either as I'm not really in need of that kind of support. I'm just looking for normal relaxed layed back people around my ago maybe a tad older like early thirty's. I don't know anyone where I work that I'm really willing to be that open with about my lifestyle that I can ask and I know that most of my friends would not want me dating women so I can't really talk to them. So I'm at a loss where do I meet women without having to go to the bars? Who do I ask? If any of you go out and meet women at places other than bars (and its okay to go alone and not stand out) or have friends that do so could you help a girl out.

Thanks!

Look in the phone book for a PFLAG organization in Columbus. They will most likely have a community bulletin of events in the area. There are a lot of women there....you will see

good luck

Hi and welcome to the board.
You can also look up Gay Pride Inc. in Columbus, Ohio. They usually can help you with events etc. in the area. Maybe you will need to go to a bar as that is where you can find a lot of info, then leave. There should be book stores as well that carry information on events and gatherings in your area. I might add that the softball fields where women's teams are playing. Many sports type places, golfing range, sometimes you can find a woman instructor. At least here in Indianapolis they are in abundance, lol.
I have done alot of stand up in Columbus and I know they have a pretty good lesbian community. Same with Dayton, which is not that far from Columbus.
You can do a search for "GLBT Columbus" and see what you get. When searching, keep the search words in quotations narrow your search. Use search words such as...OUT in Columbus....Gay Pride Columbus, etc.
If I find something I will post the links to this thread.
You have come to the right place. Please do not be a stranger.
Hope to see you soon and keep us posted if you find anything so we can keep it for future ref.
Take care and good luck!!
