So hey, here's something I never thought I'd be doing... New here of course . It feels kind of weird to be sharing this part of me as, while I've briefly mentioned it to one or two friends, I haven't fully spoken to anyone about what I'm experiencing right now... I'll try and keep this short... The past year or so, I've become a lot more aware of my attraction towards women. I guess you could say it's always been there from a young age but I'd always shrug it off like "hey, I'm comfortable enough to say if I think a woman is beautiful" and other thoughts along those lines. Looking back, I don't think I allowed myself to explore or even understand this part of me. So I've had boyfriends (last relationship was in 2015), took a break from the dating/relationship scene and finally spent some time reflecting and trying to find myself. I paid more attention to the *attracted to women* part of me and it was like something was screaming YES inside and I was ready to explore it because it felt right... like it was me... Towards the end of last year I went on my first date with a woman. We had a thing for a few months. It was beautiful, I felt free. It was short-lived however due to compatibility, but it only made it more clear as to who I am. Then this year, I started talking to a woman I met just over two years ago through work, not knowing she was a lesbian, we totally hit it off and the attraction has grown massively. The "relationship" isn't where it could be due to her personal circumstances but I guess this story is for another part of the forum haha. So I guess I'm here because I need an outlet, people to talk to who will understand... Friends(?) and support in finding who I am more and navigating through times where I feel confused.
