Where Did You Meet Your Partner?

Believe it or not, I met my partner on Craigslist and alot of us know what kind of people can be on there. I posted an ad for friends and I did get to talk to several people but there was one response that really caught my attention. We had alot in common and it was easy to talk to her. So we talked on the phone quite a bit, then later met for bubble tea. I had never tried bubble tea much less heard of it. She was so excited to have me try it. We agreed to meet for bubble tea and we talk for hours and laughed. I love to make people laugh and even though some of my jokes were corny. She still laughed. We have only been dating for for five months but it’s like I told her. It’s like I was walking alone and doing good but to have her come into my life it’s like she was able to start walking right next to me and not miss a beat. Although I have stumbled a couple of times I wasn’t alone. She was there to catch me. Dating D. doesn’t feel like a job or a chore. Believe when I say when have dated a few who have made feel like it was. She tells me that she is glad she responded to my ad. Secrectly, I’m proud that I finally had the courage to do something like that because it was my first time putting up an ad.

I met my soul mate on craigs list as well. We talked via text and email for a couple of weeks then we made a date to meet. We made plans to go bowling but before our date she needed my help with a project she was working on for her son so we went to her property and although we didnt get any work done we did talk more and learned more about each other! we then went back to my house so I could get ready for our date and we never left the house. Weve been together every since.

hello kathy

i will quote your first sentence – some people are lucky in love and i consider myself as one of them. i finished my computer engg. course and was drafted to a reputed company here in India. out batch had a team leader who was in charge of taking us through the course that will enable us to work there after our training session. my team leader was a tall woman,very dominant type, she was so intelligent and charming i was bowled by her. the very presence of her behind my chair used to give goosebumps. it was touching here and there, which i later on found out was intentional, i too was responded. i can tell you this woman has shown me the heaven and had been very dedicated in showing her love to me without forcing me to do anything. i had been give and take for the last couple of years, I LOVE MY NISHA.

Well, all three of you should consider yourselves blessed that you found compatible people.

Mine’s isn’t a story of ‘happily ever after’. I took myself off the dating scene for about ten years while I got to know ME and build my self-esteem after two really bad relationships.

I’ve been dating again after that long break but I’m an anomaly, it seems, in the lesbian world. I’m a femme attracted to butches, I’m fully curvy (size 18 hour glass) and I’m neither passive or aggressive. I *am* quite opinionated but respectfully so, it’s just that I’m not an eyelash batting kinda gal. I’m 51 and, after living quite an active life, I carry some physical limitations (osteoarthritis in my knees). I’m still active and love to travel any and everywhere. Sounds pretty good, huh?

But there hasn’t been even one butch who’s enlightened enough to see the totality of me – not even ONE. I’m pretty hard wired to dating butches but beyond that I pretty much don’t care what they look like – only care that they’re clean and neat; they’re intelligent and employed and they must have and *exhibit* good manners and thoughtfulness towards me and everyone else. I do.

I’ve had lots of first dates and a few second ones, one or two third ones. I’m getting to the point where I think it’s just time to throw in the towel!

Don’t get me wrong – I put myself out there and go those events, I go out on dates, etc. But there’s no one I’ve met and spent any time with who’s the least bit considerate or romantic.

Maybe I’m wasting my time. I was hoping that this entry would have a few helpful tips. Oh well! LOL

Don’t give up on love, there is someone out there for everyone. Just believe… I met my GF on line and although we have been together only 4 times – we live 4,000kms apart – in 21 months, I have never felt this way for anyone before. We are both 54, respect and love each other altho still very much in the closet. It’s a relationship which works for us since neither of us is ready to tell our families and daughters

To Dale: Don’t give up. I truly believe there is someone out there for you. Just like you I took a break from dating. I dated femmes to butches, from level-headed and no chemistry there to down right alcohol poisoning with her having children to go through that. But I didn’t give up and neither should you. Good luck Dale.
