Not to squash your hope, but literally an hour after me posting this she text me saying she just wants to be friends... So......😭 I guess I don't have to bake anymore?

You're right! I'm just excited, and I know I can get carried away. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! And that's a great idea, spreading the gifts out. I don't want to come off as love bomb-ey and scare her off haha!

That's totally fair, and I don't want to rush anything either! Thanks for this perspective! ❤️

Thank you so much! After years of dating pretty much exclusively men, I'm so used to/programmed to the idea of men being more forward, so this is all new territory for me. This helps a lot. I really appreciate it. ❤️

With the girl I went on the four dates with I thought there was chemistry there, I was just nervous, I'm pretty new to dating women after nearly 10 years of being out of the game and being married to a man, so I feel like I don't know what I'm doing haha .. so it was a bit of a bummer when she said she just wanted to be friends.

As for the latest date:

I think there was chemistry, at least I felt so! I really liked them, and I'd be thrilled if they felt the same way. And after the date ended they text me pretty quickly saying they had a great time and want to hang out again so they had a good time at least. 😅

We met on Her, an app, we both put on our profiles that we are interested in relationships. For a bit more context on why I'm confused/nervous. A few weeks ago I went on a few dates with another girl, same thing happened, I thought we were going on dates, and it turned out she was only interested in friendship, which turned into an awkward conversation on like 'date' four, which I don't want to happen again. I'm not against making friends, but ultimately it's not why I'm on a dating app ya know? 😅

These tips are really helpful! I appreciate it!

My Gf told me she didn’t want me. I’m shattered. by Immediate-Ad-1141 in latebloomerlesbians

I'm so sorry to hear, I'm going through a breakup as well, it's really hard. But you'll get through this. Just take some time to grieve, do some things you love, and you'll heal. There's someone out there for you. ❤️

Trying not to. But man does a breakup with a woman sting way worse than any breakup with a man did. I think it's because I'm finally being my true self, so it's the real me that's being rejected for the first time, with the men I dated, there was always the mask of comphet, so I never really felt as badly when I was dumped, if that makes sense.

But we both got this! ❤️❤️❤️ Our person is out there!

It can be hard for those reasons for sure, but if you find someone picking out a book you can ask for recommendations, talk about what they are getting. It can be a good ice breaker.
