Until then, I had assumed I was straight I was just really, really bad at it. I was excited to meet her, but it was all happening so fast (if you don’t include the 28 confused years preceding it). I had sent Lydia the first message, asking to read the gay Harry Potter fanfic she had mentioned in her profile. It would be my first-ever date with a woman, made approximately 10 days after I came out to friends as “not straight, but I’ll get back to you on exactly how much” at the age of 28. Our first date was for drinks on a Monday night after a workday I had spent trying not to throw up from anxiety.
You don't like to be tied down and are eager to break through barriers and reach your full potential.Lydia and I met thanks to a quiz, the multiple-choice OkCupid personality assessment, which asks for your thoughts on matters like “Would a nuclear Holocaust be exciting?” (that’s a “no” from me) and then matches you with those you’re least likely to hate. You don't like staying in one place and prefer to explore the world.
You often don't know how to express your feelings, but you have an inquisitive spirit and like to spend your time studying and exploring new things.
Your inner animal is a cat! Sometimes haughty, sometimes playful, sometimes warm and at other times cold, you are a constant mystery to the people around you.
You live in your own world, but there's something about you that naturally draws people toward you.
