Michelle,



I can SO help you out. I was in the same place you are just a few short months ago, and have gained a lot of insight from people here on the board.



One in particular.



So, I totally get where you're coming from. I haven't really dated either, but I'm understanding things a lot better.



If you need someone to talk to, don't hesitate. I'm here to help. lurkmuch@yahoo.com



Lurk

[Gimpgirl]

You ladies are way awesome. I guess I never realized that people can be nonjudgemental especially when it came to certain topics. This whole confusion thing is really annoying and I wish I could just figure it out, but hey I guess that's why I feel like I can talk to you even though you don't know much about me and I don't know much about you. The upside to this is that if nothing and I stay confused for the rest of my life.....I get to talk to some great people who will help you out in anyway that they can.



The only problem I have this my confusion is that my parents would totally throw me out of the house if it turns out that I am. I don't really want to think about that, but it is in the back of my head everyday.



Well, anyway, if you wanna know more about me, I am an open book, about most things and I will tell you pretty much anything. Those who gave me your email addy's, if you don't mind I will take you up on that and go from there. Thanks so much again.....I lurk no more and....ok so I just lost my train of thought, but s'ok, school will do that to you.



Michelle

[atse28]

Hey all, any of you with who might be questioning should check out The Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans/Questioning/Issues Thread. You might find it to be of some help to you along with the wonderful kitties who have offered to listen in this thread.



And any further discussion about questioning should go in that thread, please.

"Oh, good, my dog found the chainsaw."

[luciddream]

I always thought the whole 'one person for you, soulmate' idea was a bunch of crap.



When I was in heavy denial I figured I could really settle down with a man, perhaps even love him and be happy. When I met and fell in love with a woman (finally) I thought 'wow, this is what I've been missing!' But still, I didn't feel complete.



I can remember the day I did start to believe in this one person for you idea. My girlfriend at the time and I were on a soccer team together. One particular game, I remember going alone b/c my gf was sick. I went to the field to stretch out and I noticed someone sitting by our sideline bench on a towel. Being the friendly person I am, I went and introduced myself. We talked for about 15 minutes, chatting about our families, jobs, places we'd been. We also found out we played on the same soccer team.



After that day I began to think about Jen quite a bit. The year was 1997 and I was about a year into a three year relationship. I would see Jen at practice and chat, but nothing more. Back in my mind however, I really had this desire to continue to get to know her.



About 2 years passed and we lost touch, but I never stopped thinking about her. In the meantime, I had broken up with my gf (issues unrelated to Jen). This was the year 1999. I moved in with some friends who played in another soccer league and lo and behold, Jen was on their team! Because I was still not 30 yet (it was an over 30 team), I did what any self respecting girl would do, I came to the games on the guise I was watching my friends play. I would watch her dog during the game when she brought him and that insured that I would talk to her after the game. I began to live for those Tuesday and Thursday nights when I'd get to see her.



It had become apparent that this was a sign to follow where my heart tried to lead me years ago. After chatting with her after the games, I took the first steps, asked her to dinner, movies, all the while having no idea if she was even gay. My friends had deemed her 'asexual' because of her quiet, extremely private nature. This made me laugh because she was a very pretty girl who was intelligent and charming with great humor.



After several months of hanging out and talking I finally came to a decision. It was a scary one because I still had no idea if she was gay. Any anvil hints I would drop about me being gay were not visibly picked up on nor reciprocated. But, I was falling in love and this whole thing had to come to a head.



So, one night I drove her home, we had our obligatory hug goodnight and I drove away. Only to make a U-turn and park outside her house. I know, how stalkerish of me. It had started to rain lightly and I remember sitting in my stuffy car gathering courage to go knock on the door.



I told her I had to ask her a question. She look horrified and I almost lost my nerve. Almost. I asked her if she would consider dating me. After a pregnant pause she said, 'maybe'. Ouch.. At least it wasn't a no.



To make a long story not so long anymore.... She succumbed to my charms and we will be celebrating 3 years this March. She came out to her entire family and some co-workers which meant the world to me. I can honestly say that I have found my soulmate. I knew it back then on the towel on the soccer field and I know it now. She is, was and always will be the one for me.



It's amazing, the intensity of love I feel for her compared to anyone else I've been with. Where the dreaded 'lesbian death bed' syndrome has always afflicted my relationships, this one grows more intense (MEOW) with each passing year. I know there are others out there who feel that with their partners, right? Do you consider them a soulmate???

Again I must extend a big thank you and other stuff to you kittens. I am way new here and you have welcomed me with open arms. That is way more than I can say for the people here in MN. Anyway-I just hope that I can keep my weirdness in check and not scare any of you.....just don't ask for my pic....that will scare you.

Lucid-that story was so awesome. Who knows, maybe some day that will happen for me.....

[Hanki]

got another online story here... a kitty romance too



we met last november after i replied to a post about her getting beaten up cuz of how she dressed and i said i got a lot of that crap too, so we got talking on msn messenger and we just hit it off straight away.



we switched mobile phone numbers and we texted each other for the first time on christmas day... and there were a hell of a lot of texts.. some very dodgy ones if i remember correctly hehehee.



after that we were talking pretty much every day and then last weekend we met up for the first time, everything was perfect.. apart from the saying goodbye part now we're counting down the days until we can see each other again.. we don't have that big of a gap, we're both in england but i'm in the north while she's in the south, we can get trains though which isn't so bad. it sucks being apart but we talk every day and we just know if we wait we'll be together properly one day



oh hey i just thought of something, we must be one of the youngest kittie romances.. we're both 16. do we get some kind of prize?

Well will you look at that my girls post here to



After posting in here about the 'fight' (which i'm so over ) and getting to know Han through that thread, I'm starting to think that maybe everything does happen for a reason.



Unfortunatly having 200miles between us is just completely and trains aren't as handy as you think. But don't worry baby i'll be able to drive soon (don't laugh) so i can come visit you all the time. And 'side the easter holidays are that far away...right?



Also, not that I'm bias, there should be a prize......

[Willster]

This thread made me want to register just to tell you all that your stories are really great and each is really unique and it gives hope to the ones who are singles for now.



Thanks for sharing this with us, it's really interesting and good to read. I wish you all to find love.

[sprhrgrl]

(grin) This is quite the newbie post too, isn't it?



Yeah, then there's me. Another one. . .



But it's good. I met my girl because we were both friends with Josh, the owner of beautifulboy.com, which is now the-alt.com. . . It's funny, because it was a bois' site and all that, but we were lingerers - I a fag hag, she a friend of some sort. I found her webpage and was astounded when she responded to my guestbook entry.



So we talked, and realized that she and I were both diaryland kids, and have been together for a year and eight months. We've met four times now, and will see each other again in 69 days, when she comes to my senior prom. . . Hopefully I'll make prom king, but that's a different story.



She was the one who got me into my w/t 'ship. She was an avid fan and had been obsessing while she was single. I began obsessing because I missed her, what with the long-distance thing, and now we read nice slash to eachother over the telephone. ::ahem::



It's nice things. Everybody says that the internet is scary for meeting people, but the internet has also been an amazing resource for us queer youth. Nice things, I tell you.

I met my girlfriend, Heather, through an online personal ad at lovefriend.org See, I had just realized that I'm bi and wanted someone I could talk to about it, so I set up the personal ad and Heather responded. We started exchanging e-mails - immediatly smitten with each other - and that led to phone calls, love letters, presents, and the two of us just celebrated our one year on Valentine's Day. If I ever get the chance to meet Amber or Aly the first thing I want to do (that is, after recovering from fainting) is thank them for Willow & Tara which led me to my soulmate. If it weren't for that couple, I never would have been like "hey, wait a minute, maybe I would date girls..." and then, after realizing that I'm bi, I found the love of my life. By the way, Heather's a huge Willow & Tara shipper as well, and we even get extra cheesy and call each other "Willow" and "Tara" at times. (I'm Tara, she's Willow) Ok, well, I guess that completes my sappy reminicing. Ciao everyone.

*Emily

[sprhrgrl]

(grin) Yep. She's my Willow and I'm her Tara, which is amusing becuase I find Amber hot while she's more into Alyson. . .



They certainly did a lot for a lot of nice kids. . .

Well,uh, I know I'm gay,but uh. The person I love is a former neighbor/former teacher of mine/ and currently is my friend. She's clueless to the idea of me loving her. But I met her 9 years ago when she moved into the apartment upstairs.

Unofficially, I have to say I have no idea what you are talking about...


Officially?

[mandyanyone]

Where did i meet my girl? Well, as luck should have it, i met her right here on kitten. We met in chat one afternoon and became great friends, talking everyday, for hours and hours on end. After a couple of weeks i had to go away on a trip and we found that we were missing being with one another. Which is when we both kinda realized it was more than just a great friendship. Not long after i confessed to her that i was completely in love with her. We have been together for almost 5 months now. We live very far apart, her in England and me in Alabama.she came over in the end of May. We were together for 5 days. The time we spent together was simply amazing. We were inseperable the entire time, never without the other by our side. Things were perfect the way they should always be. Unfortunately she had to go back, but she will be back in Sept. for 2 weeks, including being here for my birthday. And then plans have been made for her to also come and spend Christmas with my family and me. I am so excited about this.



I have to say i never expected to find a love like this. The amazing connection we have is indiscribeable. We find ourselves very lucky to have found one another, given our distance from one another. Needless to say I do believe I have found my soulmate. And to do so at such an early age(18), i'm incredibly lucky. My girl (28) had a bit longer to wait for me to show up.. ..but now that i'm here, i'm not going anywhere, ever.



*smiles*..I love you baby, with all my heart. I am so completely and utterly in love with you, more than you could even imagine. You are everything in the world to me and more. I am going to spend my life to make you happy. I love you, now, and for the rest of my life.



Mandy

[Lost in blue]

I met my baby girl right here on the Kitten board- I bow down to the Kitty Board



I met Michelle here after having a bad day, she was really sweet and supportive and we emailed eachother every day since, plus started calling each other. We fell in love with each other pretty quickly, but then who wouldn't fall in love with my baby? We then met up at Moonlight rising and had a fantastic weekend together.



I miss my hunny now coz she's all the way over in Minnesota and I'm all the way over here in London- sucks!! *pout* But we talk for a few hours on the phone every morning and night, plus send emails in the day. I'm going over to visit as soon as I can then she'll be coming here later in the year. Whoo hoo happy bounce



I have met the love of my life and I know how lucky I am that I get to spend the rest of my life with my cutey. She's the best thing that has ever happened to me and I plan to show her how special she is every day the rest of her life. Now that I'm done making you all heh heh



Big thank you to the Kitty board and to the cuteness that is + coz with out them I would not have found my hunny.



Love to all kitties (particularly my beautiful gimpgirl I love you baby )

I met my girl through the kitten board too. She saw my post in the singles thread and IMed me. At the time I hadn't thought much of it. I enjoyed talking to her and then on March 12th we officially decided to start seeing each other. It was long distance of course her living in Michigan and I in New York then in April she moved down to Florida for a job. We talked on line all the time and then starting calling each other alot. You gotta love AT&T free nights after 9pm and free weekends. Finally while I was up at school towards the end May 9th-11th I flew down to Florida to see her for the weekend. We spent the most amazing couple of days together. I was sad to leave her but I knew I loved her with all my heart. I went back to visit her June 16th-27th and spent another amazing 12 days with her. Being with her is the most perfect thing in this world. Now we have some big news...she's moving here to New York to be with me. If that wasn't enough excitement for me she asked me to move in with her. I of course said YES! So as of August 18th my girlfriend will be here and start her new job. I'm so excited that I get to be with my girlfriend!! I love her so much I know she's my soul-mate and I know that in one month everything will be perfect because I will have her with me for always. So thank you to the Kitten Board you helped me find my forever.



Michele



P.S. I love you honey! Oh and honey? I thought this was something I had to add since we don't really have anyway here.
