Normalcy Creeps
So randomly in the past few days my life has just had a sea change. I’ve just been waking up every day feeling different. Like life is really good again. Nothing tangible has happened. No new friends or women I’m talking to. No promotion at work. No life-changing moves in my life. I just am waking up feeling like me again. For the first time in months.
The other thing that has happened which I am fucking ecstatic about is that my sex drive has finally returned! 3 1/2 months off of one of the medications I was on and all of a sudden it just came flooding back. I’m so fucking happy I’m not broken I can’t even put it into words. I’m back baby! Back and feeling better than I have in years!
I just have to keep an eye out for negative effects of coming off of this medication…I don’t relish the idea of trading having my sex drive back if it means that I am stuck getting back ovarian cysts and end up in the hospital every couple of months. I’m not really sure that trade off would be worth it at that point. Then again, I was on birth control to manage them since I was 17, so they really fucked with my hormone levels in ways I don’t even think my doctors really understand.
All together I am starting to feel the desire to get back out there and back in the saddle of dating. I just don’t really know how. I know the option of online dating sites is there, but I just don’t like it. I’ve had some very bad experiences when I was younger, and I feel like I’m just too honest for online dating really. Someone suggested speed dating, but I haven’t seen anything posted anywhere for a lesbian speed dating for where I live.
I have been slowly making it be known to friends and colleagues that I am ready to be back on the market, so I am definitely trying to network myself in a more traditional sense, almost like I was looking for employment…it sort of feels like in today’s world dating is like applying for a job really.
I would really just love to meet someone organically, doing something I normally do, or bumping into her at a bookstore or something of the like, but I know the chances of that are minimal at best. I’m definitely trying to be open to suggestion as to how to meet other intelligent, successful women in their early 30s. Even just to hang out as friends to be able to network off of those connections. I have a pretty varied set of interests, good conversation skills, I make great company, and I like to think I’m not bad to look at either. Plus, I make some very delicious food…my friends and colleagues can definitely attest to that one!
So, do you know how I can meet women?
