Utterly cowardly name change, sorry.
So....
Thinking about a relationship with a woman. Entirely hypothetical. I am middle aged and have left an unhappy LTR. I had some unhappy experiences with men over the years. I have been thinking about feminism. Am I misunderstanding sexuality and myself to think I can chose.
I love the company of women. I dont fancy any one particular woman. But I do find women attractive. I absolutely do not fancy men anymore.
So, thinking of being open to a relationship with a woman (way in the future, not yet).
This sounds like a reaction to relationship breakdown but it's been on my mind for a while.
I got chatted up by a woman recently (I think) and I felt panicked. But I think I would have felt like that man or woman. But partly I panicked because people were watching and I didn't know how I felt. I think I wasn't very subtle in making my excuses. I felt bad afterwards.
Has anyone else made a change like this in their 40s? Does it sound like I have any clue what I'm talking about? I hope I haven't strayed into being offensive.
I would hate to mess around with anyone's beings while working out how feel. Can't imagine anyone being up for tolerating this confusion.
