I know of online dating sites, gay bars and the like, but what are some more ways to meet other lesbians? feel free to share how you met your partner, or anything else you think would be helpful.

thanks.

Maybe look in your area for lgbt groups. If I remember correctly, you are in Canada? Does Canada have meetup? That website has a ton of groups of so many varying interests.

Volunteering, is a good way to get in a glbt circle.

Maybe check out your local alternative bookstores? They might have various social eventss, like book signings or readings.

Church? A welcoming church is a good way to get to know others.

Off the top of my head, that is what I can come up with. They may not lead into dating, but some of those options will get you out there, and who knows. Mrs. Right may be just around the corner.

Hee-Hee, my experience won't help you. My partner and I were one of those modern web romances.

hey I am now back in the dating game as well after forever and I live in an extremely small town. It so sucks because there is like a meet up group that covers a tri county area here but am sort of nervous to make that first step on my own and go to sonething lol.

Try it once and at least conquer the fear - in other words don't let fear hold you back. Even if no dates come of it, you could really use the social outlet and the experiences of an environment that is relaxing because it's of people who are "family" and community. :)

I agree with the last poster about it being a good opportunity to meet people.
on a side note, it's nice to see this topic take off. I created it in the hopes it'd help people out...so hopefully it's doing the trick.

I think this can help everyone and not just LBG's :)
Word of advice, it will come when you least expect it.
This is so true. I wasn't looking, but someone I've been friends with for three years, and I started talking, and one thing led to another. Now we are happily in a wonderful relationship. Don't give up though it may seem the best choice. :D
