    Ohh, I forgot about Bodywork! Yes, that one would have also been very appropriate. :slight_smile: Can we just have an EC field trip to a T&S concert and then all go to a gay bar afterwards?

    I'm glad you're out and about with gay women who can return your feelings and realized how unfulfilling it is to go after straight girls. I see something in your writing though and feel concerned. I hope you don't get caught up in what others want and forget to listen to your own heart and mind. Give yourself time to process things out for yourself.

    You don't sound that excited to me, you sound more like a deer in headlights. Maybe I'm wrong and totally off base.

    That is fair enough! I am hung over, exhausted, and honestly SHOCKED at my behavior.

    We've texted a lot today, and processed what happened. Jesus, lesbians really communicate. LOL.

    Anyway, she's shocked at her behavior too, but we decided to go on a proper date next Saturday to see how it goes.

    Good for you guys! Are you feeling nervous or overwhelmed about the date? I think it'll be so good to get that first one down and it should be helpful that you already sort of know each other? Are you keeping the dating app coffee date too? Coffee is actually earlier in the week, right?

    Thanks Lego, your words are comforting. My parents are Middle Eastern, and that part of the world is still very homophobic (homophobia is an understatement for them). Same sex attraction is looked at like some sort of disease or mental disorder. They're in the stone ages when it comes to tolerance. Things might change with the younger generations but it's still really bad in terms of how we are judged and labeled.
    I really do want to be honest with my parents even though I know my private life is my own. I feel like I need to be emotionally ready to do that. I'm still dealing with things within myself but I hope to be completely out some day, and to deal with the fallout and face the music so to speak.

    You are brave and did so well! So glad you enjoyed the outing.
    I really like the 'proper date' idea - that sounds even more exciting:smiley:

    Sorry, guess I was picking up on the exhaustion and etc. I can see how that would effect your response. I'm really tired myself too, though for other reason. I hope you get some good rest!

    Yeah, most women don't lack in the communication department. Gotta love that :grin:

    Glad you took the time to process things out and decided on a proper date :slight_smile: I hope all goes well ♡

    I think I'm bailing out on the app person. It's too much!

    I'm not nervous at all about the date with J. "Sort of know each other" haha. I feel like we know each other pretty well! :laughing:

    It was fun to text with her yesterday. She is very "impressed" with me and my "abilities". Omg. Who am I? Lol.

    My question is, and I hope I didn't miss this somewhere in the thread, but did you tell V about J?

    Second question is, where are you and J going on the date any ideas yet?
