I have decided to write about my adventures in dating when there are no other likeminded people around. My hometown is very gay friendly and if I were a boy, I would not be having the issues that I seem to be having...a shallow dating pool. Since becoming a single woman, again, I have realized that I have taken a different approach, quite opposite of the old Wendy who would leapfrog into another relationship to avoid being alone. I have taken the better part of a year to find myself, get my life and business in order & enjoy my new found, stress free life.
Many things have come about over this period. I discovered that my ex is a pathological liar, a narcissist and an overall terrible human being. How did I manage to survive 9 years with this person? Was I bamboozled or is this part of a narcissist's character to adapt to various situations? I have bobbed back up to the surface with a new found knowledge of the human psyche and been made a better person because of it.
So let's discuss this shallow pool. I think there is one other single lezzie in my town. As nice as she is, I do not see myself with her, and I am sure she doesn't see herself with me either! All the other women are nested in their country homes with children...children, another step I am not willing to take.
I could always venture into Ottawa to see the local talent but I am older now and don't want to meet "another temporary partner". There has to be someone out there who wants to settle down with a person like me.
