Valentines Day Blues? Or celebration?

ThePhanastasio · 02-15-2011, 05:41 AM

I broke up with my middle school "boyfriend" on Valentine's day in 2000. Since that, I have never had a date on that day. I've started dating someone within a week of the holiday, only to break up before it came around again. I consider that to be karma.

How hard is it to find girlfriends when you're a lesbian?
I could imagine it's a lot harder than finding boyfriends?

ThePhanastasio · 02-15-2011, 05:50 AM

Oh yeah. Especially considering that only a MAXIMUM 10% of women are gay, and that I figure at least 3/4 of those are really butch (hunting, fishing, short hair, pick-up trucks) and not at all my type. Of the ones remaining, a lot of the ones I meet are dumb sorority girls who I have NO connection with whatsoever. Then there are just the others I don't click with at all.

So, I mean, I figure I have a pool of maybe .01% of the population I could ever foresee myself dating.

maybe you need to move to a more urban area.

It's nice to hear that (I like the idea of two lesbians, but they will have to look like girls. Yeah, stereotype...).
Lemme see. When I look at my closest female friends
Fleur: Bisexual
Chloë: Bisexual
Britta: heterosexual
Evelien: heterosexual, but wouldn't mind kissing my ex-girlfriend

Roos: bicurious
Xenia: heterosexual, but thinks that girls do look better than boys
Nienke: Heterosexual
Doris: Heterosexual

I had three more close female friends whom I've lost who were all definitely bisexual.
It seems as though there's not much lesbian girls around, but a lot of bisexual girls. I have the feeling that at least 40% of the girls I know/have heard of/read about on this forum wouldn't mind dating a girl.

But maybe they're just trying to impress

it's a western thing which I don't celebrate

i only celebrate its Chinese equivalent (chap goh mei) which falls on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, which is drawing near

I'm buying some sexy lingerie for my fiancee

Yes - I'm working on moving to a more urban area. The places I've been in the northeast I've really liked a lot: Boston, NYC, and Burlington in particular - although Burlington only has a few thousand more people living there than in my city.

Yeah, pretty much. UVM seems like a nice school, and I know people who live up that way, so that's helpful. I also know a few people in Boston, although I don't know if there's anywhere I particularly want to go to school there...and I know two people in NYC, and my acting coach rents an apartment up there, so I'd be able to get a place to live. So yeah. I'm just kind of trying to figure it out right now.
