bicon failings on my part

Me: has been starry-eyed over this gorgeous woman for four days. Surprisingly, has actually managed to start a few conversations.

Her, on the last day: I think you’re really cute. I don’t want anything more, don’t worry, I just wanted to say that.

Me: UM THANKS - YOU’RE GORGEOUS

Her: Oooh, thank you! *flattered sounds*

We grin at each other.

Me: moves onto different topic and then goes to next session. Doesn't see her again. 

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

i literally didn’t realise for AN HOUR that there was literally no better time to ask for her details. FUCK why am i so HOPELESS at social interaction wHY.

Takemehomefromnarnia introduces: BiCon 2015

Every year in the UK, you can find "the highlight of the bisexual year", BiCon. This year the convention is located at the University of Nottingham on the weekend of 13th-16th August.

BiCon offers a temporary home to all individuals either seeking to participate in activism, network with other bisexuals, or just have an equal time for a weekend with likeminded individuals. Essentially, BiCon is a three day gathering for bisexuals, allies, and anyone with a positive interest in bisexuality. During the gathering, the days are filled with sessions, discussions, games, and other events involving socialising and entertainment. Some past examples have included belly dancing, sign language and massage.

All individuals looking to attend the event have the option of single day tickets with a price varying from £12-£27 or weekend passes with the cost being £30-£55. If you are unable to attend there are many ways for you to get involved! You can like BiCon on facebook, follow BiCon on Twitter, tweet about BiCon with the hashtag #bicon, or even order free flyers!

8 AMAZING THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SUPPORT YOUR BI PARTNER

Apparently not everybody’s partner got the memo about unsexy biphobia, so thanks to SheWired and the indefatigable bisexual journalist Charlotte Dingle for this great listicle, which is essentially a cheat-sheet for partners of bi women. 

While we’re here, I wanted to tell you about this really cool tweet DIVA magazine got recently, from @StephyBecks. She said: “Even though I'm 100% gay, the bisexual articles in @DIVAmagazine are my favourites. We definitely need to do more to tackle biphobia. #NOH8″ That’s kind of awesome, right? A bi-five to Stephy!

PS. Don’t forget BiCon 2015, happening in Nottingham, 13-16 August. Day passes are still available - get all the info at http://2015.bicon.org.uk.
