I mean, not just asked out under pretence, but actually for a drink and 'to see how you feel'. If you were a single woman over 50, and not had gay relationships but if you were 'off men', not dating and bad recent history with men, would you be curious enough to at least go on a date without giving any promises? Assuming you do like the look and personality of the person who asked you, of course.
What I really want to know is, how many women would consider an experiment with a stranger who appealed to them in general terms, at least as far as kissing. And how many would reject it out of habit of a lifetime, or the fact that they are not open-minded enough?
Would you feel that because you've never done it before by your 50s-60s, there is no point expermenting as you can't be attarcted and it would be too ridiculous or reckless ?
I was reading about Navratilova, apparently she came out as a bi- first, but really she calls herself gay now. Her wife had a husband and kids before. But you know, this is celebs, would an older 'normal' woman with grown kids be brave enough)?
Another question, would you ignore the offer if not interested, I'm talking about texting or online, or would you politely reply with a 'no thanks' and be flattered if you've only met that woman once?

if you were asked out on a date by a woman you've just met

Actually, Pink, I have had my bush lasered off, so I guess you would be working on the ground beneath. Pink, how would you approach that? Would you rake it lightly or would you stick a spade in it repeatedly? Just curious. Not "bi-curious", though. 
Pink, wow. Just wow.
As a former 'straight' girl who is now in a relationship with another woman and who used to identify (secretly) as bi curious, but now identifies as 90% (or there abouts 
) lesbian, I would say that if you're attracted to her, then why the hell not give it a go?! I certainly wouldn't suggest somebody try it just because they're off men. That would be stupid and also, it's quite an offensive assumption that formally straight women who then have relationships with women, are only doing so because they've had bad relationships with men. I'm not saying that's what anyone on here is saying btw, although I haven't read the entire thread, but I hear it time and time again and it's just ridiculous!
From my experience, when women are attracted to one another, the spark can be quite overwhelming and the chemistry is off the chart and on another level. This is what happened with me and I am by no means playing down heterosexual attraction. This is just what I hear a lot and also, this was my personal experience too as I say. Maybe it's to do with the emotional connection and getting each other??.. 
I really don't know.
Oh and Pink,"ewww"? Really? Of course you're entitled to your own opinions and feelings, but it's not a question of lightening up, as you say, it's a question of having an iota of tact.
I do apologise then, I didn't mean to sound homophobic and I really am not.
I'll go do my lines now Miss Fucker
