As a woman who dates other women I'm sometimes in scenarios where contact with someone could go to a friendship or a relationship - I think this is maybe more likely in the lesbian dating world than the straight dating world - I don't know?
After a relationship breakup about a year ago I'm getting back out there and enjoying meeting other women again through a local social group. I've really enjoyed spending time with one woman in particular and we have great conversations - I enjoy hearing what she has to say, we're on a similar wavelength and share same sense of humour.
She has laid cards on the table that she is interested in a relationship, and would need to take a step back from our contact if that wasn't something I wanted, to protect herself. I understand that although I would miss her friendship. On paper and in person, so many boxes are ticked for me, but I don't know about chemistry.
Do you think that is something that might come? Maybe I have paid too much attention to this in the past and ended up in relationships that weren't all that despite good initial chemistry. Maybe I need to value other things more? But I don't want to mess someone around either.
Help!
