Hello,
just wondering how things were going with you and your situation?

If you're still not sure if the woman you fancy has any feelings for you, can I offer you (possibly!) a bit of hope.....I don't know if you remember but I was in a similar situation last year - despite me getting a bit of a 'vibe' from my crush nothing came of it, she told me she wasn't gay etc so that was that. We were still friends, but (afaik) nothing more.

Anyhoo I saw her today, unexpectedly, for the first time in about 3 months and blow me down, she asked me out. Albeit if was a tentative, polite ask but she did, nonetheless. I did a good goldfish impression, I was so surprised. Just going to wait now, not get too excited, and see if anything comes of it.

So - there is hope!

Crushing and Gay40, I've been lurking here a while and if you should start such a thread (for women newly interested in women), I'd be very happy to post.

I was trying to resist going on the thread today but look at me I'm a complete addict.

Never mind a continuing thread, I think we might need to start a support group for those of us that can't leave this thread alone!

TooMany earlier in the thread I wrote that I invited her to an exhibition (very popular and not cheap) as I had free access and she said she wasn't a fan of the artist, this was all discussed already. I was down in the dumps. Then later she showed an interest in my major hobby and asked even to let her know when next event is coming as she'd love to go (if she went with me wd be ggreat as they are two-tree day events) - I was surprised! the problem is these are not on for months now, it's a winter thing. But still I will organise when time willl come. It's not rude not to offer me drinks as I'm not in the same room as them at those times - doing some work on computer elsewhere, I'm not a friend as such so far, and she only offers relatives and some friends (not on daily basis). They have private talks too so can't barge in. Bt yes I will think of something else to invite her, though I won't see her now till end of the month (she's v.busy till then anyway).
This thread is already for anyone who wants to share .

Likea yes I remember about the exhibition. Maybe that is why I thought she wasn't interested.
If you aren't seeing her till the end of the month then you have lots of time to find a band/film/new pub that might pique her interest, to invite her to.

well at least she's interested in something now (and I didn't ask her, she expressed interest herself when I was just telling her that was going 2 weeks ago - shame it was impossible to get more tickets last minute). Yes, will think.

Loveis.... The Turning Tavern
Must be room for a lesbian tea bar within that place surely

Polly... glad you had a reply from your email, do you intend to work with her now again?

Likea...... this is the most positive for some time now, do you think she has a genuine interest in your hobby anyway? It could be the way forward Even if it's the winter loads of time to get organised yay!

Allotment I've already written to the powers that be asking if I can be excused from that, so it really depends on their response. If they say no then yes I will be. But in a way I still would rather not, although things are ok between us now.

Does the Turning Tavern need to be in Chat, Relationships or Lesbian And Gay?

A consensus of opinion please and I'll get the ball rolling.

I think relationships.

Gay I would say Relationships or Chat (I would err towards Chat actually) as this thread is already proving to be a honey pot for all of us 'ambiguous' ladies. L and G would be too specialised, and from what I see written on other posts, I think Relationships scares a lot of people off!

But feel free to ignore me - it's the call of all the RPs n here!

Having gone from a very part-time user to a full-time poster (on this thread at least) I would say go for Relationships as not familiar with Chat and agree with Trapped that Gay+Les too specialised and on R-ships we seem to get good passing lurker trade. Let's see what the others say. Will check out Chat in the meantime.

Checked out Chat and not sure we will sit comfortably with "scabby head suggestions" and "Barbara Streisand Has Lovely Nails".

And I've also just seen:"I've just received a friend request on Facebook, from my mother's cat" and that says it all.

Can't figure out how to do bold and bloody strikethrough.

It's looking like Relationships is the preferred option - I'll set it up tonight

fwiw I'd vote for relationships too. Gay/Lesbian board gets very little passing traffic.

*Love is, it's similar to cupping (I love that word) the word you're typing with brackets to get an emoticon - for bold you put an asterix either side of the word (don't leave a gap) to strikethrough it's two short dashes either side.

Plus, we seem to be an anti-labelling bunch and not very keen to be boxed into one category or another.

Cupping

oh isn't that typical, I'm explaining to Loveis how to do bold etc and I balls it up myself....

Gay moist is another word I can't resist either.

Any mention of flaps, in any context whatsoever, has DP and me in fits of giggles.

flaps? er can you hint what does that mean? I just talked to my wiq about a flap today - could that be taken as innuendo??

it's flaps - plural - that is the real killer.

I think you might have got away one just one flap Likea. Did your WIQ go a bit pink at all?!

ah ok, get it! no, this was just one flap mentioned, no going pink. She was extremely hungover today..v.quiet.

Did she say who she'd been on the lash with?
