What was once viewed as taboo simply isn’t so anymore as we see more and more people flocking to online dating. Especially lesbians or any LGBT. However, if you could get one to admit to it, …well that’s another story. Actually I feel like I’m breaking a code just by writing about it. As you enter deeper into the lesbian world, you notice a few things and online dating is definitely one them. Of course this doesn’t prove true for everyone but pretty often. But hey, have some respect here. Finding other lesbians isn’t always easy, especially if not every lesbian or bisexual woman is easy to point out.
Whatever it is you’re attracted to, the internet provides you with a large pool of a variety of people. Whether you’re interested in girls who love Glee or a Kate Moenning look a like or a Miss America model or someone with a passion for helping the disadvantaged.
Common phrases used by a couples who have dated online. “ We met at a random public event or place” or “ we share a common friend who none of us speak to anymore”. Or the confused tacit agreeing nod before answering the dreaded question.
The reason for this post isn’t to out online users but to simply say there’s nothing wrong with it. The point of dating is fun so have fun! If you’re thinking about it and unsure, try it. Really…what have you got to lose?
