Hello everyone, It's good to find this space. I came out two years ago — yay! — although it happened later in life. While I am proud and happy to be out of that dark closet, I'm finding it challenging and awkward to meet others around my age for friendship, dating, and hopefully a relationship. As an older newbie, I'm feeling inexperienced and somewhat lost on how to get started confidently on this pathway, but I am ready for the journey... Thanks for giving me a chance to say "hi" and join the community. I look forward to replies, words of wisdom, and sharing of stories.
:welcome: Make sure to pop in over in the LGBT Later in Life section, there's an amazing group of people over there in different stages of the same journey.
Hi Sage Brush, Welcome to EC. I am also a late-comer. I'm 42 and have just come out in the last 3 weeks or so. I'm currently married, although not for much longer, and haven't yet tried to date or meet people. It's still all so new that I'm trying to sort things out. And there are a lot of logistics to deal with, as you might imagine. If you ever want to chat with another older newbie, feel free to drop me a line. And I second the suggestion to go over to LGBT Later in Life. It's an excellent place to hear stories of people in similar situations. I live in the American South, but I've been to CO many times--I have several family members and a dear friend who live there, both in different parts of the state. If you're in the mountain region, it's a beautiful place. I hope you're safely away from the fires. --Zoe
