Being a thirty-something, single lesbian in a heterosexual,
male-dominated world, doesn�t exactly make for easy dating. Just trying
to figure out where to meet other single lesbians can be a difficult
task. So�based on my own dating experiences, and a little internet
research (my favorite pass time), I came up with a list of the best
places, in my opinion, to meet other single lesbians.
These are not in any particular order:
Sporting Events/Activities: Well, as clich� as it might sound, one of the best places to meet other lesbians is at a women�s softball, soccer or football game. Whether you�re interested in actually joining a team, or you choose to just hangout in the stands, you�re bound to run into a handful (if not more) of single lesbians. If you�re not much of a team sports fan, try joining a women�s hiking, biking or camping group, you are almost guaranteed to find a few lesbians in the bunch.
Local Lesbian Clubs and Organizations:I know this may be another idea that sounds obvious, but sometimes we tend to forget about our local LGBT resources, which exist in almost every major city in the US. In fact, there is actually a LGBT National Help Center, with over 15,000 resources to help you find the different community centers, social groups, gay newspapers, etc. in your area.
Religious/Spiritual Center: If your spiritual beliefs are an important part of your life, then it makes sense to try and meet other women through your church, temple or spiritual center. The Metropolitan Community Churches, Science of Mind Churches, United Church of Christ and Unitarian Churches, are known to be welcoming of gays and lesbians. You can find listings of gay-friendly churches through the LGBT National Help Center or www.lesromance.com
Lesbian Bar & Restaurants: In most US cities you can find some sort of lesbian bar or restaurant. And being that lesbian bars tend to have lesbians in them, this can be another way to meet single women. If your not into the �bar� scene, try going on an off night, and you may find the atmosphere a bit more laid back, which can make it a little more conducive to actually having a conversation with someone.
Friends: our friends and acquaintances can be a great resource for meeting other single lesbians. Even if they are in a relationship, let them know that you are looking to meet new people. You never know who they might introduce you to, and you may find yourself among a whole new circle of people.
The Internet: Last, but not least, the Internet can be a great way to meet other lesbians. Online dating sites such aswww.lesromance.com can offer you some anonymity while you search for your perfect date. Plus most of these sites will give you a free trial period, so you can test it out before you spend any money. These sites can give you access to a variety of women whom you might never have met otherwise.
No matter what avenue you choose, and you may end up trying quite a few, just don�t give up. With a little effort, and a lot of patience, you will eventually find Ms right, or at least Ms right now.
