It will take me awhile to share a lot of detail, but I welcome new friends and I'm a very good listener and nurturer. I will say I am nearly 51, divorced 13 years (very amicably, no children) and I've dated men all my life. Suddenly over five years ago I just stopped dating altogether. I realized how unhappy I was trying to make things work with many types of men. Granted I made some boneheaded choices, but not ALL of them were bad, lol. I began to think there was something in me that was...if not gay, then definitely not completely heterosexual. It's hard to explain. I'm definitely not coming to this questioning phase as a bitter man-hater. I still think men are delightful (though gay men are easier for me to bond with.) In the last few years I've also had sparks of attraction to women that I never acted on...well, except one, but that is a story for another thread, lol. In short, I think I am finally at a mature enough age to realize love is love. I've shied away from all forms for half a decade. Now I am thinking maybe I should explore why I took such a hiatus. I'm thankful to have found a site where everyone seems so kind to each other. I look forward to getting to know you all.:smilewave Tallu
Hi there and welcome to EC, I don't think there is an age limit at all as to when you feel comfortable with exploring your sexuality, I think this will be a great site for you, there is a section of the forum called LGBT later in life that you might find interesting to have a read at and post when you are feeling ready to. I am relatively new, been here for almost 2 months now and I have found it nothing but supportive and friendly, I am sure you will fit in very well here, so take a look around, post where you feel you would like to and don't be shy. Hope to see you around the boards.
You are all so glorious! Please feel free to contact me here any time! I'm just stumbling, bumbling around, but I have a sense of humor about it.
Hi, welcome to EC! I haven't been here long but everyone is super awesome around here and I think you'll enjoy it!
