Thanks Dianne and Short311fan (and everyone else too) for all the love and support. Hopfully SHE, not he, will share the same "yeah, so" attitude. Let me clairify my situation. I'm sort of presenting male these days...been so for a little over a year now. It's a woman's perogitive to change her mind...lol. Long and painful story short, I was experiencing a lot of sexual harrassment and discrimination at work from upper management right down to my fellow co-workers. I was fearful of loosing my job after revealing that I'm IS and I buckled under the pressure. Unfortunately there's not much support working in the psychiatric social work field. Anyways, back to dateing. I'm glad that I don't have to date guys. I have had the same expeience that Dianne has had. My experience with women, for the most part, has been somewhat better. Although after finding out that I'm IS, I usually am switched from being a love interrest to being their closest girlfriend. I hold that distinction in high regard, but I just want one person to think of me in a romantic way. I know that it will happen when the time is right, I just wish we didn't have to "come out" everytime we meet someone new. I guess what doesn't kill us just makes us stronger. With everything I've been through I should be Superman, or should I say Wonderwoman, by now. I can't deal with the knots in my stomach, so I'm thinking about calling her tonight and revealing my secret instead of waiting to do so on the date.
Thanks again.
