Wait, are we keeping the new room name? 8D
Found a lovely article via my cousin's FaceBook feed on being a Christian ally: http://momastery.com/blog/2015/04/06/support-your-right/
I enjoyed this article.
Of course, when I shared it on Facebook because of that reason, a religious debate ensued and I had to go get my popcorn. Good thing I wasn't involved in that one!
Lately, it's been a real struggle never to experience being with a girl in my life. I find it strange, since I find them more attractive than men, but all I can ever get are boyfriends, like right now. ((I like men for different reasons than attractiveness.)) All I ever do is stare at cute girls and sigh longingly, wishing. 'Tis pathetic.
Also, whenever I express my belief of being bisexual-or any orientation-is not a bad thing, I always get into disagreements with people like some friends or my boyfriend. *shakes fist*
My peeve right now is the way the room gets quiet when I say a gal is cute. When it's a guy it's fine, but talking about girls you can hear crickets. And no matter how many times I 'accidentally' say something like that, the same people kind of freak out.
Lately, I've been feeling...antsy, I guess, to meet people. I don't have a ton of relationship experience, and while I've never been very concerned with having a partner, I don't want to wait forever, you know?
But meeting people is so hard, especially since I would prefer to meet women. I've looked at almost every queer-identified woman on OKcupid who's at least an 80% match for me, have messaged some of them, and there just doesn't seem to be many new people showing up. I've lost contact with most of the people I knew from school and I'm not really active in the local LGBT community. I'm not really into clubbing, and there aren't a lot of LGBT social groups in my area that both pertain to my interests and skew toward my age range.
It's just frustrating, I suppose.
(Am I allowed to rez this thread? I'm rezzing this thread.)
Aw, that sucks. I hope you find someone one day.
That situation sounds tough. Maybe join an activity / hobby group or something? Maybe you need to find the local LGBT areas or join an LGBT online community? It's really tricky to find someone, isn't it? (I would have some similar problems too, but I'm not looking for a relationship right now.)
But yeah, that would suck. I still say try out some more LGBT scenes, whether or online or offline. Maybe meet some new people at work or college, etc?
I hope you meet your someone. For me, it happened when I stopped hoping. I mean, I did a few things to actively (and hopefully) meet people. But I found that the ones I was meeting were too actively looking...they seemed to be interested in one thing. There's was more about going through the list and checking everyone off. I am SO not into that.
I was sitting in a Starbucks writing when my world changed.
I'm not saying stop looking...I'm just saying when it's supposed to happen it will. That probably sounds SO unhelpful. Sorry. I hope the two of you meet soon...you just have to run into each other. (-:
A friend who was bisexual told me some sad stories about the way some lesbian women treat bisexual women, at least. She told me what a "gold star" lesbian was. I had to pick my jaw up out of my lap. I know it's none of my business, but it still made me sad and angry.
