There’s A Possibility
I’m not sure where this feeling of wanting to get right back on the dating horse is coming from – typically I take a lot of time away from dating and gay women in general after I get dumped – but I just have this feeling inside like I need to put myself out there again.
I just don’t know how. I cut ties with several people who are quite popular in the state’s GLBT scene, and heaven knows online dating has NEVER worked for me. Plus I’m not big on the whole gay bar/club meat-market scene or mentality. Not sure where to turn to try to meet people at this point.
I really do want to meet someone organically…I guess it’s time I explored my interests more and maybe join a club or something. I feel like I sound like such a social misfit.
What’s a soon to be 31 year old who hates the club/party scene and online dating to do to meet eligible women with their heads and hearts in the right place?

I just read a book “MWF seeking BFF” for research. The author lives in Chicago. She just moved there and didn’t have any friends so she ended up going to a bunch of meetups and ‘f’riend-seeking’ sites that had activities. Sometimes when you aren’t looking, is when you meet someone. And if you are just open to meeting new people with similar likes, you never know what can come from it…Good Luck.
Thanks. I probably should look into it more, the only issue I have is that the majority of the GLBT themed stuff here revolves around bars, clubs, or parties. As a result, I end up spending a majority of my social time with my straight friends…which isn’t a bad thing, save for the fact that I’m virtually the only lesbian they know!
I guess time will just be the judge on what happens in my romantic future. It’s just hard being a single person who believes in monogamy, fidelity, security and responsibility when the overwhelming majority of people in the community are all about partying and sleeping around. I expected that at 18, 21, even 25, but now that I’m going to be 31, it’s just unappealing and disheartening.
There’s got to be another ‘odd duck’ just like me out there though, right?!
