Stopped lying to myself what to do now.

In the past I had relationships with other females and told myself it was just ‘a phase.’ This is what I was told by family at the time. I married had children and my relationship ended for several reasons a few years back. I’ve not had any interest in any other men even though several people have tried to set me up. I am attracted to women and have no idea where to start now I’ve finally admitted to myself it wasn’t a phase. I have no friends who are gay or lesbian and don’t know how to meet people. I’m in my mid thirties and really need to start living my life for me. I’ve used a different profile for the past few years but created a new one.

Online dating? Start looking for LGBT groups in your area?

I can’t find any. I looked on gingerbeer too but couldn’t find anything local. Sounds daft but feel a bit shy! X

Have you looked on Meet up? I believe they usually have some regular lgbt groups, although I suspect it varies from area to area.

I have nothing really locally for people over 30, gosh I feel old 😂

Tinder? It's totally doable on there. I've already got a date set up after only a few days of swiping. You do need to do the swiping regularly in the first two-three days.

Btw I am a woman and the date is with a woman, just clarifying.

Ah, good for you for being honest with yourself. Very brave.
Mid-30s is not that old to be dating. Try OK cupid. It will be scary at first but it's just people you are meeting. Exciting. Good luck!

I mean to say - mid 30s is absolutely not old.
