I was 27 years old when I realized that I was attracted to women. My first thought was that there was something very wrong with me. I was raised in a Christian home so I knew that I wasn't to have these feelings. So I did seek help through my church. After that I moved from Colorado to Utah. And started dating. A couple years later I did meet a wonderful women and had a great 7 year relationship. Even after 7 years I wasn't fully ok with myself so I ended that relationship. After awhile I decided that I would try to date men because it was the right thing to do. That was almost 6 years ago. I still haven't been able to go out on a date. When ever I am asked out I just can't go. I just am not attracted to a man. So how can I have a relationship with one? So here I am. I know what is in my heart and I am learning to be ok with that. I know that I have a long ways to go but when I told myself that I was ok it did help me.
Hello and welcome! I'm glad you're slowly realizing that what your heart wants is okay. It really isn't a bad thing! Maybe it's different than what you expected, but life will always surprise you.
Thank you TJ I do look forward to getting know people and having fun. ---------- Post added 30th Nov 2013 at 10:00 PM ---------- Thank you Skyline, Yes it does seem that life surprises us. I am glad that I am starting to realize that I am ok and that I can just let it be.
