    Now that I realize I am a lesbian I have been daydreaming about my wedding. I never did this when I thought I was straight.

    I am thinking I want a bohemian wedding dress and I want to get married under the stars.

    What has changed for everyone else?

    i started daydreaming about girls before i was questioning ....i decided to stop daydreaming about guys because it got boring and try something new and i haven't stopped since. I love daydreaming about girls.

    whats new? trying to get a job and find a girlfriend or meet girls for that matter

    lol what's changed? when I thought i was straight, both girls that I dated I was like "why do we have to put a label on our relationship? why can't we just be you and me?" and now that I know I'm gay, i'm like "let's get married on top of a mountain!"

    Making the transition from identifying as bi to gay has helped me let go of all the what ifs. I think I've always known I'd marry a woman, or that I'd rather do so, but for a long time I felt that there was still a chance I'd end up with a guy. Now I can fantasize about women and not feel as if there might not be a day I am standing with one to be married. I have confidence in my sexuality now, so I just want someone to be with...and like MerBear, I don't know where to meet girls!

    Haha I am the same way. I used to abhor it when a guy poured his heart out with me and I would be drawn away as soon as they did, but with women that I care about I am just like "you're perfect, we are perfect, everything's perfect." :icon_bigg

    Since I've accepted by bisexuality, nothing's changed except for two things:

    1) My romantic future is more open than I thought

    2) I'm not just looking for girls anymore (not that I've always actively pursued someone; I take my time finding partners, but I'm currently in a relationship with a guy right now so I don't really have to look anyway!).

    After realizing I was queer, I started wanting to have a romantic relationship. I could not understand the appeal of dating, even if you found the person attractive. I imagined being single for life, and not regretting a moment of it.

    Now I can rarely go a more than a couple days without wishing I had a girlfriend. It's not as bad as when I first came out, but it's still something that appeals to me very much and would actively pursue if I had any idea how.

    Before I accepted myself as who I am, I would hesitate to look into the eyes of my male lovers, of which I've had a few.

    I don't avoid it anymore...the person that I'm with is now someone I can love with all my heart and I can look at them directly through their eyes, and into their soul...
     
  10. That is me exactly. I thought relationships were stupid, but now I would love to have one, if only I could find someone. I don't want to live my life alone anymore.

    The beach would be awesome, but I have family that has some property out in the country. You can see the stars so well out there. That is a possibility.

    I've become a raging liberal. XD And also a feminist. I used to hate girls, mostly because I was afraid I'd develop feelings for them, and if you put a girl in front of me I'd focus on her flaws so that I wouldn't notice how much I wanted her. It was actually pretty sad. But now that I know I'm gay I've recognized how amazing girls are.

    Oh yes, same. I thought there was something wrong with me and I would never be able to fall in love. Turns out I was already in love... with my straight best friend. *facepalm* Such is life.

    That I'm better off not dating because I won't find anyone accepting here. That my family would never accept me, with my mom rathering me to be unhappy as I am than accept the fact that she doesn't have a daughter. That I'm better off just ignoring everything for a few years until I can leave.

    I am sorry to hear that. Hopefully your mom will calm down about it once she sees you happy after you leave. (*hug*)

    Exactly this, except replace girlfriend with boyfriend. It's weird to think about why I thought I was going to be single forever when I thought I was into girls. I still haven't come up with any answer.

    Not as far away as I'd hoped.
    Good question... let's see...

    1) I'm still sensitive to the things that depress me, but I've noticed now that I get over them within a few days. They used to bother me for a month... or six... and the feelings used to get so intense that I couldn't focus on anything else or deal with people. Now I'm... functional. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    2) I'm not as afraid of experimenting with my appearance. I used to worry about people questioning me if I looked too 'weird'... but now it's alot easier to just cut my hair or try new clothes. Once you stop thinking of yourself as a boy, the things people say about how they should act stops being as much of a concern. :lol:

    3) Thinking about the future doesn't make me feel as trapped. I do still feel alot of anxiety about how transition might effect things but I don't immediately feel an urge to run or think 'I'll probably be dead by then anyway.'

    4) I used to associate feminism with being excluded from a group of people that I really identify with and support, and sometimes general hostility. But now I know why it bothered me so much and that it's just a loud minority who feel that way, and I feel more comfortable thinking of myself as one.

    i also craved a relationship, with multiple girls. then i had a relationship, it sucked, and i haven't desired one since :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: at least not at this point in my life.

    speaking of weddings, i want a pink dress! whether it's usually considered a 'wedding' dress or not. and i hope to have the ceremony in a garden.
