My Top Seven Do’s & Don’ts for Dating Women
After divorcing, jumping the fence, and dating for a while, I began wondering why most of the people I went out with disappeared after the first date. I started reading self-help books, where I learned about something called emotional sobriety. This meant I needed to create healthy boundaries and rules for myself around dating. One […]
Lesbian Dating: Two Goals of a First Date
After months of obsessing, Sally had finally scheduled her first date.  She was interested in someone on a dating website, “chatted†a few times online, and set up a lunch meeting.  I was impressed with her enthusiasm…but then  she started thinking out loud. Sally’s date-to-be lived near a lake, and  Sally had a boat.  “Maybe […]
New Lesbian Dating Series!
Because dating is such a hot topic, I’ve decided to interview women about their dating experiences. Apparently 53% of all American women, including lesbians,  are single–and many of these are interested in having a romantic relationship.  Dating is an excellent way to get there.  So I’m asking about good and bad experiences, mistakes made, lessons […]
Falling In Love for the 2nd (or 3rd) Time
The woman in my office was in tears.  She’d just had a romantic Valentine’s Day celebration with someone she’d been seeing for the past year.  They had talked about the thrill of finding each other, the joy in their intimate connection, the excitement about sharing their lives.  It sounded just like being in love.  So […]
Mindful Self Responsibility in Lesbian Dating
I pull into the parking lot in front of the bar one Saturday night. Rain floods the lot, leaving an inch of standing water everywhere. I put the car in park, leaving the engine running. Windshield wipers going crazy, I sit for a moment, peering out of the drenched, fogged-up glass toward the bar entrance. […]

Is She the Right One? See Compatibility 101 Part 1 HERE What is Lesbian Compatibility? See Compatibility 101 Part 2 HERE Monogamy, money, living space and pets: if you’re compatible, can you have it all? I decided to ask Kim (we were on a short trip to Kauai). How about us?

A Lesbian Breakup Makeover
For the past hour, I have been sitting on my wood floor, legs splayed about to make room for the bookcase pieces I’m attempting to combine. I stare numbly at the half-put together jumble of particleboard and Swedish instructions in front of me, realizing that half the shelves are facing forward, and half are facing […]
What is Lesbian Compatibility? Part 2
Is She the Right One? See Compatibility 101 Part 1 HERE So, thirty years ago, at the beginning of our relationship the incompatibility between Kim and me would have been detected very fast by Match.com, giving us warnings about each other. I gave a few examples in my last blog: Kim has a hot temperament […]
I Give Up – It’s Just Not Personal
Feelings come easily for me; I get mired in them. Especially hurt feelings. Loss laced with Fear. Hard stuff. I am wired to feel whether I want to or not. I have not mastered the skill of dissociation. Working consciousness into my feelings keep them from turning into quicksand. Wrestling with where to go with […]
