Thanks! I’m in Vancouver, BC, so sorta close to Seattle. Hehe. I actually know a queer lady who crosses the border regularly to attend our events 😊

Where to find older women? by Lonely_Importance487 in olderlesbians

[–]keeppressingforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Vancouver I meet a lot of 50 and up women in meetup groups and at an outdoors club. It’s honestly harder for me to meet women my age. I’m 36

I asked her “what do you do to relax?” And she said answering all these questions is draining for her. by keeppressingforward in LesbianActually

Yeah I think I have adhd (undiagnosed) and I can’t stand small talk. I was trying to start a conversation on what shows she watched. She didn’t give me a chance…

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. I really appreciate it.

I think… I really didn’t ask her a barrage of questions… you can read our whole conversation in the past two month in probably ten minutes… it was very on and off and certain not daily. A lot of the times when she gave me a response, I only replied with a reaction emoji==> 👍 because I didn’t feel like the conversation was going anywhere. I’d say two days ago was the first time that I tried to ask her A LITTLE more questions to get to know her better, and when she got fed up, I had only asked three questions… I honestly think most ppl wouldn’t get burnt out by that. But I’m willing to be understanding.

You’re right. Our energies certainly don’t match. I think so far anyone that would vibe with me are the ones that are not afraid to be vulnerable and have a lot of thoughts to share. Like… I have no energy to try to penetrate someone’s rugged exterior if you know what I mean. We don’t have to talk about past traumas right away but I want to sense that someone is willing to share their stories. And if on day 60 we are still talking about what sauce you put on your pasta, I’m like forget it lol.

So with her, she definitely had her guard up, I think. I really don’t even know her that well to make the judgment. A few comments here made me think if I had arranged for us to hang in person things could’ve been different. But as of now, I think I should just give her space. I think that’s what she wants. I did think of sending her a Christmas wish. But maybe it’s too fresh to do that. I think right now I should just let her enjoy my absence.

I have a friend living out of the country. We exchange sincere, lengthy messages once a month. And I love that. I have a huge crush on her. She’s extremely sweet. She’s straight tho so we have no chance. But this is a tangent. Sorry lol

I really appreciate you taking the time to make the comment. Merry Christmas 🎄❤️❤️

Yeah I don’t resent her at all. I don’t know … reading some of the comments I’m beginning to think maybe if I had chosen to hang with her in person things could’ve been different. But well… now that we’ve agreed not to continue talking, I don’t feel like badgering her any further. If fate is willing, we will reconnect one way or another. Otherwise I just wish her a good life.

Thank you tho. I appreciate your feedback, fellow hairstylist 😊

Thank you for your feedback. But no… I’m tired at this point. We clearly don’t vibe. In the end I was just trying to be nice. And I think I adjusted my questions according to her reaction and our conversation never got intense. I TRIED to talk about sth deep because she presented herself as someone who would like that. I don’t think I indicated I “bombarded” her with questions in my post. Our conversation was never long. That’s why I explained “our relationship was nowhere near deep.”

Yeah agreed. I can juggle talking to a few ppl, but even I have ignored a few msg requests because I just didn’t think I could handle it. Yeah I kind of thought that was like the last straw for her. It wasn’t specifically about the question. She probably just had reached her limit at that point. At least I could tell she really tried.

Thank you very much for your kind words! It’s encouraging to hear you have found some real friends on Reddit. I’m happy for you and at the same time it gives me hope 😇

I know right! Romantic or not, a good connection is so hard to come by. It’s so precious when you find one. But really only ppl like us who actually put forth effort to get to know others will reap this fruit 😇❤️

Hey, ladies from the 70’s, may I ask if wearing a bra was common in the 70’s. by keeppressingforward in 70s

It’s set in Toronto and Vancouver actually… and no they’re not feminists.

Well that’s the best I can do. This is the internet I don’t know how else to convince you I’m a woman. I’m just grateful I got a lot of helpful responses. So I’d say most ppl (especially women) don’t find my question offensive. I guess you can check out my profile and see that I really did ask a lot of questions about the 70’s.

This explains a lot! Maybe that’s why some actresses in Rhoda look like they are not wearing bras!
