Just starting to figure out things and taking my time on it
I am starting to figure out things and taking my time on it since I went through a tough divorce last month.I have dated women and men in the past.Only had one serious GF in my past,dated on and off which did not work out at the end.I am talking dating again in Janaury and my feelings say a new girlfriend.I feel that a woman would listen to me more and attracted to them more also.Good thing is I have a couple friends that are open about their sexual orientation,One is lesbian and the other is gay.Went over to talk to them about it last night and they said it takes time thinking about it.Biggest thing is they said not to rush this at all.Plus I talked a counselor at a local GLBT center in my area today.She say explore these feelings wisely with love.What should I do?My parents said they would love me still if I decided to have a girlfriend in my life

Re: Just starting to figure out things and taking my time on
Firstly how wonderful to have such support from your parents. It is a lovely thing to hear and I applaude them and you for the open honesty between you.
I agree with your friend and the counselor. You've just come out of a divorce and having found out about your health issues, therefore you could get into something which could ultimately take you backwards not forwards. It matters not if it's a guy or a girl in this instance.
I am a great believer that the right person does come along when the time is right. Gender does not matter. In your other post you spoke of having a make-over so you are obviously feeling lifted so maybe take time in enjoying the new you. The romance will follow as soon as others see how confident and open you are and the right person will find you.

Re: Just starting to figure out things and taking my time on
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
True love is wanting to give to another person without any thought about
who’s getting the better of the deal.
Love always creates, it never destroys. In this lie's man's only promise

Fantastic that you are exploring your possibilities without "jumping" into something straight away.

Re: Just starting to figure out things and taking my time on
That last part made me laugh, danielle, love your sense of humour!
It's great the way you both understand each other and are taking it slow, that way it could develop into an awesome and happy relationship when you find out everything about each other when taking it slow as you both have been through hard times.Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
