Welcome to the Turning Tavern

[Gay40]

This is a thread for women who unexpectedly (or not) find themselves attracted to another woman.

Oh this takes me back to my first date with MrsG

Well done Polly. I'm excited for you. Are you buying a new outfit?

I wonder how Sleepless got on today.

G40, but was your first date with the Mtr an official date, or you only planned as a friendly drink?
In polly's case we still don't know how the wiq is seeing it - I doubt that it's as date, going by the email (but would be glad to be wrong!), more friends/curiousity..I think, polly you should also not dress up to much etc. as this will look as pressure to her. But it's great that you have opportunity to influence her

don't forget that polly stressed to the wiq that sh ejust wants a friendly civilisd drink - I think most people missed that bit.
It's not all guns blazing like in sleepless case. I wonder how her day's been too - fingers crossed.

Well, a friendly day out really . It ended well.

Yes, but G, your Mrs was DETERMINED and she did say she pretended to be your friend but she fancied you. I think polly should be a little cautious with her hopes (at least at this point).
so what did you mean by having an uneasy feeling, G?

Oh yes, I'm really not expecting more than a civilised drinkie or four. It's just the fact that she has finally asked me. And I'm almost ridiculously looking forward to it.

No new outfit no! I'm really a jeans and groovy shirt kinda girl, but the high heeled boots will be getting a dust off. I'm quite tall already and fairly slim (lanky! as my Mum would say ) but I do like to feel a bit taller, it's a bit of a psychological boost I suppose.

The Tavern's hotting up on a Saturday night. Nice to 'see' some familiar faces
Not sure if "civilised" is the right approach to Polly's drink
So Gay - have you got the insider lowdown on Sleepless' day out or am I missing something?
Hello Coribells - more from you please. Not being nosey or anything

Gay - ignore me. Thought you were talking about sleepless. Doh.

So you got out of working with her, only for her to ask you out after all - typical!! :)

Where does that leave you with her and work do you wish you hadn't changed your plans?

Hello, can I join in? Been lurking on this thread and decided to namechange and jump in! I am separated with two small DC, have had one relationship with a woman in my teens, then married young, fast forward a decade and it didn't work for a lot of reasons I won't go into. Had crush on old friend for a long time, as things were deteriorating with STBXH I stupidly told her how I felt and although she was very kind and lovely made it clear she was 100% het. To her credit, we are still friends. She is amazing - beautfiul and intelligent (and currently single but wants to get married and have children) so it's a little bittersweet, but we keep in touch from time to time. I hope one day I can meet someone who is as great (and into women too :) )

I still don't know for sure I'm definitely a lesbian. I have had some crushes on men, but quite a lot more on women. The feelings seem to be much stronger/clearer lately too, although not really focussed on anyone in particular, just a feeling I love women.

Been enjoying the mostly relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of this thread.

About the unease - it was the rollercoaster aspect.

Hello Synchronicity. Welcome to the thread, and feel free to join in x

Hello Synchronity welcome to the Tavern, we serve alcohol or 'tea' take your pick :)

Hello all.

Evening. I've been up the ladder again and the house stinks of gloss paint

Hello, thanks for the welcome. Think it might have to be a for me!

Pour the wine. We like to discuss things in a civilised fashion here x

Gloss paint is gross I've a door to do and I keep putting the job off.

for you Synchronicity.

Welcome Synchronicity - we have all sorts of folk in the tavern...mainly turners: mid-turners, post-turners and tantalising wannabe turners. Not that we like labels of course.

Evening all. Mine's a
This may be just me but...... I feel a bit uncomfortable with the idea that people need to identify as definitely gay or straight. I guess for most people it feels better to have clarity about one's identity, one way or the other, but for me, I know I will never have that certainty, because it will never be either one or the other, I can love and feel attracted to men and women. It always amazes me that more people don't identify as bisexual. I am in a long term relationship with a man btw.

I myself prefer JMW Turner. But I don't force my preferences onto anyone else.

I've been painting as well today G40, not onto the gloss yet thankfully though! Hello syncrhonicity nice to meet you x

As for gloss paint - I won the award for Shit Mummy of the Week for making a bunch of kids accompany me to Homebase (to buy more gloss paint). On a Saturday.

Evening, evening. Latecomer to this thread.

I am happily married to a man and haveoly ever had serious relationships with men, yet I have also known I am bisexual (and have been honest abut this with my DH from very early on in our relationship. When I say 'always known', I can remember feeling attracted toother girls as a child, as well as boys, and this never went away.

I have had a few sexual experiences with womeninmy teensandearly 20s, but since meeting DH at 23 I havent ever been unfaithful and have no wish to be. Yet I find my 'fantasy crushes' are equally women and men....

My best friendis a lesbian and she knows that Ihave dabbled, but she teases me and calls me 'lipsick'. I think iher world, bisexual womenare a bit flaky andusually end up 'choosing' men. She hasnt verbalisedthis, but its an impression I get...

Anyway, just thought I would say howdy.
