    How do i go about having a relationship with someone that fits my sexuality?

    When I was like 5 years old I asked my mom, "what if I'm a lesbian?" and her answer was to tell me i wasnt she would know... I always knew i waz different but hid the truth from myself for a long time. Finally i met a guy who started taking me to bdsm-kink events and seeing a wide range of happy people has made me realise i desperately want a romantic and sexual relationship with a woman but I live in a rural area where there are no outlets to meet women... Should I move to the city? Help!

    How far away from you is the city? Do you have the option to move? Have you tried online dating apps?

    A two hour drive one way. It would be hard but i could move. All i find on dating apps like HER is women who live in the city!

    I guess it’s up to you, you could travel to begin with just to start meeting people and then look to move?

    Are there any active LGBT meet-up groups that you could try out? I live in a pretty rural area as well, but was able to find a few active groups in the nearest decent sized city to me (about an hour away).

    I don't know about meetup groups. Where would I look for something like that? Online but I don't know where...

    Try to find the Facebook of the nearest pride town( I think you can call it this?) to you. I found a lot of great activities/meetings just by checking my local pride Facebook

    Hey @Boredbody ,

    Search on meetup.com using all the keywords you can think of because different group creators use different words. So: lgbt, lesbian, bisexual women, queer, gay, women only, etc. If I'm not mistaken it will let you specify how far out of your area to look.

    Good luck!

    Meet-up is great! I just went to a cooking class last night that I found through meet-up. I had heard of it, but never really explored it until I moved out and was looking for ways to get out and meet people.

    I always wanted to take a cooking class with a partner. My current one would hate the idea.

    My ex would have hated it as well! It was so invigorating just to try something that I have always wanted to do but been unable too for whatever reason.
