Welcome to the Turning Tavern

[Gay40]

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

I hope not gay, that's a bit icky

Who's the chances?

The one who's got the hots for youGay? Do you see her very often?

I meant v.mature as a person, mentally, age could be anything 40+.
polly - well, unlike in our cases her wiq is extremely encouraging! I'm open mouthed at such forwardness after 2 days! maybe it's her personalty, but still..But in any case it's not easy to be supressing strong feelings while living with a partner, even if they aer not reciprocated - but we know for SURE the woman likes her at least.

yes and that is A Good Start.

it could stop atjus liking her like a sister. But whatever the case, it'd be hard for sleepless to pretend surely that she's as keen on her P as before! and as for acting on it (if wiq is keen) that can be VERY earth shattering for all..sorry for a voice of gloom.

at just

Likea - not having any kids doesn't make you any less mature. That said I think it's good to be young at heart and not take life to seriously (which we don't).

She has told me that she likes me (in the friend sense)

I think I have been quite forward with her too. I have made a few leading comments that she has responded flirtily too, for example when I said about her joining a convent and not having to wear make up or do her hair she responded with the stunning comment. I was actually hoping for either a "no I couldn't give up men" or a "yes no more men" type response.

I have told her she is gorgeous twice (in response to her asking me to come swimming and saying about lumps and bumps etc)

I have told her she is funny, kind, a good listener etc

Tons of compliments from both sides

Tons of potential

At times, a fair bit, polly, but then nothing for ages. Work-related.

I wonder what wd happen if I just came out and told mine all the compliments! she'd be really embarassed - she can only take very subtle ones so far. I wish it was easier! it's part of her keeping a safe distance.
sleep, in a way this sounds more like sisterly no-awkwardness stream of likeness, but who knows, it all depends on personalties - is she like his with everyone , or just you? of course liking can develop into loving too.

Sleepless - is she touchy-feely?

hephep a lot of what you said resonates with me. I also nearly came out to my mum as a teenager. I also never fancied a guy like I have with women. I too am sick of the nice guy still, despite being a good person, being male and behaving like males do.
The more time moves on the more convinced I am that I should be with a woman.

Crushing, women can also be treacherous/disloyal, though possibly not as thoughtlessly so as men can be (when sex is on the brain).

to me, the issue with women (or in my case, with THE woman) is that women control themselves TOO well, when a man could trust his instinct even recklessly so - two sides of the same medal. I feel that it's harder to influence a woman when she's stubborn or made some daftdecision (not to get involved).

I don't know if she is touchy feely or anything like that ad I only met her the once, but she hugged me when I arrived and when I left and leaned in quite close when we were talking.

We have joked by text with me saying I have more in common with her and that I should marry her instead and she's said ok as long as she doesn't have to wear the dress etc.

I bet it is just her personality and I am being over analytical and reading to much into stuff. I will end up looking stupid and having to come back here and telling you all that I made a mistake

I am off to bed now, I am so glad I've had you lot to talk to, I have been so upset since last night wondering why I have these feelings

Please listen. I have loved and slept with women and men. Mostly men tho I totally get the poster who said about the beauty and receptiveness of women.

Now I am single and falling very in love with a wonderful beautiful trans woman who is 20 years older than me.

Head says wooah..... heart says otherwise. No other relationships, kids or anything...

Proceed with caution or full steam ahead?

Alice, you won't know until you try. Does she feel the same way? You can always take it slowly.

Alice, life is to short to regret not taking a chance

I have had 3 texts already this morning and am getting ready to go and meet her (she is feeling better so coming out with us) no idea what to wear!

Hello all, lurking.:)
I'm married 10years, 2dc. In my teens/20s I had several relationships with women. Recently I am thinking more and more about this side of me. There's no one specific on the horizon, but wish I could find one! I have a crush on a a woman at the gym- she is gay in a LTR . Mostly I just find her body amazing o look at.

I have a text for analysation please

She said "I have accidentally text my boss and forgot who I was texting and put kisses on it lol"

I said "do only special people get kisses then? Lol"

She replied "I don't give my kisses freely.."

I always gets kisses

Well hello? We are all going to have to wait with bated breath (again) to see how your day goes. Make sure you smell amazing.

Morning Digbert

sleepless - I would say that was a pretty obvious green light! Sounds very flirty and you just wouldn't send texts like that to someone who you considered a new "friend"......."she doesn't give her kisses freely" subtext...I want to kiss you and I am quite choosy
