Dating Scene
Find a Conversation

So, I'm not really "dating". But I went out again last night with my friend to a "meet-up". I wasn't as nervous this time. It was here in town and I figured I could just leave if needed. It was at a gay bar downtown. Let me tell you about drunks! I mean, I had a couple of beers, and I'm okay with drinking, but there were some women who I just could not steer clear of enough!
So in walks the woman from last weekend who referred to me a "bisexual". I have a confession. Of all the women I've met, she and I hit it off the best. We kept gravitating towards one another and have lots to talk about. She was much nicer last night. Actually, she was nice last weekend except for that comment. She just left a relationship that was as long as my marriage.
Okay what's my point? I'm not sure I can do this. I like being around the women, I like some of the flirting and sparkling conversation. But dating? One lesbian friend of mine told me women don't date. What the heck do they do then? People-I'm lost here. Or is it just so new that I need more time? I tell you, I really lay in bed at night and wonder how I got here. What am I doing? I sometimes feel like I should pack up and return home for the comfort. But that's the easy thing. Kind of late for that too-considering I told the dh and can't really go back into the closet.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Amy

Hey Babe-how many times have I hit on you and you've never made your move. What-a few thousand miles a deterrent? What kind of newly out lesbian are you anyway?

I totally understand about your need to hang out in the GLBT community now that you are out.
Do I detect a challenge here? Too bad work begins on Monday or I would be on the plane. So, that's a yes, right?? lol

Do you see it as a challenge? I'm sure you're up to a challenge. lol

Hi Caly. I knew you'd all understand. I need to be immersed in the community-somehow! Last week I did try and connect with the one woman about where she camps,hikes, etc. That's when she said "We don't have events for bisexual women". Now, the rest of that evening she was really nice. And last night she was great. I feel very comfortable with her.
Last night she and another organizer of events invited me on a hike next weekend. And then they are planning to get us together to camp. So, I am getting my foot in the door-doors other than bar doors!
I think the dating thing is just new-straight or gay! I need to discover that part of me again! And in a totally new way!
Hugs,

I forgot to add the funniest part from last night. We left the bar to go for Thai food later in the evening. We met this woman in the bar who was from New Zealand. Her accent made for some interesting conversation. She pointed to one woman's shoes and said something about them (they were flipflops) but she used the word for them that they use in New Zealand. I can't remember the word, but it sounded like "genitals". We were laughing so hard.
Then, she went on to give a safe sex talk to another woman (who's asian) who had no idea about anything. She (the woman from NZ) was just going to town talking about safe sex and the words "vulva", "anal", "bodily fluids", and oh so many more words were just flowing. Then she tried to explain saran wrap to the asian woman, who was clueless. The whole time we had to keep figuring out what she was saying with the accent and then the waitress, who was thai, was hearing the whole thing. I think she understood enough to turn her red, all the while she was trying to take our order. Let me tell you, I laughed so hard.
And to top it all off, they decide to play truth or dare. I mean-are we 12 or in our 30s, 40s and maybe 50s? So, one woman dares another to kiss another, and they go for it. A group of men sitting at one table just couldn't stop watching. I wonder what they fantasized about that night.
I sat there and thought "how the he** did I get here?" It was so fun, yet surreal.

I don't remember. I am so sleep deprived, I can hardly remember my own name.
