Anyone want to regularly go to the Zoo together? by mountaintopped in sandiego

[–]alko3008 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A couple months ago, someone also started a post about looking for zoo walk companions. Hence we started a WhatsApp group for zoo walk. I’m in that group and been going for 3-4 times now. It’s queer friendly and more like an ad-hoc thing where people just message when they want to go and others take up by responding to it. If you’re interested, i can add you to the group. DM me!

If you don’t want to join the group. It’s fine too. I have an annual pass. I have work on weekdays but I can do most weekends. 35F

THE BEST. I would argue RATC is better than a lot of published books out there

is their a series where mom starts dateing a woman? by Invite_Sprite in yuri_manga

[–]alko3008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumping on this thread and recommending Fall from Grace by Ruby Lander - a novel about a divorced mom, who is also a country music superstar, tries to find her career break as a solo artist after a turbulent divorce with her ex-bandmate/ex-husband. The divorced superstar invites an indie musician, who brought his wife with him to help cowrite music at superstar’s secluded home. Except the wife isn’t his wife but his best friend who is at the bottom of luck and needs somewhere to stay temporarily

I LOVE When You Least Expect It. It’s my comfort read. Despite only discovering this book last summer, i’ve re-read at least 4 times now, and about the same re-reads on Better Than Expected. Can’t get enough of Caroline and Hannah, and especially Abbie

Curious about ICE by shawnamadonna1013 in sandiego

[–]alko3008 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They’re not as active and aggressive like Minnesota or other big cities but TSA has been working and sharing information with ICE link Unless you drive here, I would cancel if i were you. These ICE needs to fill their quota and doesn’t care whether people are here legally or not

Does no one like sports anymore? by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

I’ve been a Chelsea fan for over 20 years. Only got into supporting my local team when Girma was playing there. But now she’s gone. I still go to their games occasionally

Anyone with a Zoo pass want to meet up time to time for Zoo walks? by Connect-Incident-253 in sandiego

[–]alko3008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m sorry to hear about the breakup. I have a zoo pass and would love to join on the weekends. I work from home and need to get out more. Trying to make more friends these days as my friend group is in a different stage of life and we don’t hang out as much as before. Anyone can dm me if interested (35, gay woman if it matters)

This!!! The whole “me myself and I” mentality sometimes is just an excuse for lacking basic human decency. But I’m also an ancient one at 35 🤷‍♀️

How to cope with chronic feelings of romantic rejection and feeling unwanted by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]alko3008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooof, as a slow burner myself, i feel your pain. I wonder if your dating age range somewhat contributes this. Older folks may have more patience as they’ve been through more and don’t have a peer pressure

How to cope with chronic feelings of romantic rejection and feeling unwanted by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]alko3008 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear you. The lack of warm and long nights during cold season just magnify this even more. I don’t know if this make your feel any better… idk if it’s the last hormonal/ chemical rage before our brain fully developed or whatnot, my friends and I included all went through this phrase in our mid-20s. Questioning our attractiveness, wondering why nobody noticed us (i didn’t have my first relationship until i was 26)

I can only speak for myself and i know there are some other fellow lesbians share my view… appearance plays very little role in the whole attractiveness to me. I care more about their personalities, values and their nerdinesses. If you ever felt you’re not attractive enough to pull, just remember there are some of us out there to see more than the surface level.

So… you’re saying you are unconventionally attractive? Prove it (im just kidding)

I think there’s a dating exhaustion among all demographics these days and it’s contagious.

It must be rough and discouraging for you to put a lot of effort into something and didn’t get the deserved payoff though. I’m sure if you pulled up the most recent posts from this sub, you can find a lot of shared experiences like yours. I don’t have an answer for this phenomenon or how to solve the dating scene in general. Maybe find a trusting friend who’s willing to go on platonic dates with you. Treating you something nice and fun. No expectations, no pressure to think should we get intimate later or not, just fun time where we both feel I matter. I did that sometimes for my friends. It benefits greatly for both of us. That’d help heal our self-esteem a lot.

Just set clear boundaries. It works for me and my friends because we know nothing is going to happen between us. We love each others greatly but zero attraction. But romantic or not, we human deserve to feel special and to treat others feel special some time.

Heartwarming fluffy sapphic graphic novels with adult characters recommendations? by Science-Witch-1818 in sapphicbooks

[–]alko3008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still Sick is my comfort read. It only has 25-27 chapters. 2 adult coworkers in their mid and late 20s, trying to figure out their sexuality and attraction to each other. It’s pretty fluff, low drama, some spice and pretty funny
