So I changed my online dating profile to women only - because men have been driving me crazy lately! - and because I am ready to explore that aspect of myself, give myself some freedom. I met someone last night after talking on Sunday, and while we were clear that what we're looking for first and foremost is friendship, I took the plunge and asked her out on a "real" date. Waiting for a response, and anxious, but not in a bad way. And she thinks I'm beautiful. :icon_redf That puts a smile in my heart and on my face, and I had to thank her for that.
