Beyond my interest in potential men to play with... there were 4 Women Seeking Women posts that I responded TO.

Response 1: Found a girl who's profile I'd seen on MySpace before. She's somewhat attractive. Not butch. And continued to write me after seeing my profile.

Response 2: Interesting post regarding a 28 year old woman, only a year in L.A., who's bi-sexual and interested in meeting friends and maybe more if it leads there. I respond - give her the internet link for profile and pix. She thinks I'm cute and that my profile is great. I see her picture. She's not "my type" but she is the "type that I date." We begin to correspond.

Response 3: Vampire Girl seeks Goth girl. I'm not goth (but interested in the concept). I respond with picture/profile. She responds with picture/profile. She appears to be way too dark/scary/SOCIAL for me. I don't respond.

Response 4: Great post on CL. I respond with profile/pic. She responds with profile/pic. I don't find her the slightest bit attractive.... but damn..... she's written good conversational material in her response. I haven't responded yet but I still need to. But I don't want to lead her on....


Now back to Response 2 - we're corresponding now several times a day, beginning to e-mail flirt and she asks me to go see a cultural event with her. Now I'm totally freaked out because (read the little headline for the blog) - I'm antisocial! I really should have thought of this before!!
Additionally... I'm not clear on whether this is a date or just an outing with a new friend. What do I do? I've never been on a date before. The girls I've dated (the 3 girls) were all girls I knew from seeing every day at school and knew them each for 3 years before dating them. So we never went out on dates, really, we just started dating.

Meanwhile... the guys continue to e-mail me and I continue to be distracted by potential romance with Response Girl 2 and don't write back.

Now the other thing I worry about (this is all easy to think about and do while now-ex is out of the country for 2 weeks) is "What if I do like this girl and fall in love? I've only been friggin' 'physically' single and somewhat independent for about 3 weeks. What a waste of "single."
