A lot of practice...and alcohol probably.

Moving Forward

Holy crap! It’s been forever since I have been on here! Not a whole hell of a lot has changed, not that I think anyone is actually reading this. Still woefully single, but feeling generally ok about it now. Focused on school (which is super awesome BTW) and work (not so awesome but necessary).

Here’s to focusing on the important things!

For the record: getting ghosted sucks!

I love this mug! I need it in my life!

As a Canadian citizen, this is hilarious. Don’t trust us Canadians. We’re super nice and polite to lure you into a false sense of security.

I swear, if another family member asks me why I’m not seeing anyone, I am going to loss my god damned mind! None of your business, Brenda!

What am I doing wrong?

I came out when I was 20. Before that, I dated a few guys and it was the worst, but I managed. Now, almost three years after coming out and trying to live my life how I want and being comfortable with who I am and I have never had a girlfriend. I have barely had a couple of dates. I am so lonely that it feels like a rock is sitting on my chest all the time.

I moved from a small, nowhere town with no LGBT community to speak of to a larger city to attend university. I thought that things would get better. I thought that I would meet people. Make friends. Maybe find a girlfriend. No luck. I’m exhausted. I really wish that this whole dating/human interaction thing came with a set of instructions.

Disappointed

Moving to a city like Guelph was supposed to be my chance to final meet other LGBT people. To explore who I am. To actually try and get a girlfriend. To make friends. So far...I am disappointed. I guess my expectations were too high. Hoping that I’ll meet some people at Winter Pride in January. I guess I am just feeling a bit lonely.

That super awesome moment when the girl you like, who you finally gathered the courage to ask for coffee date, tells you in the most brutally honest way that she is not interested. I think I just got friendzoned. Hard.

[gingerjessa]

Just when I start to feel like a normal human that can do this whole adulting and socializing thing, going on a date reminded me that I have NO idea what the hell I am doing!

So excited for this! #guelph #winterpride2018 #lgbt #lesbianpride
