Previously I went out on a date with a girl, A, who claims not to be a lesbian. Since then we’ve hung out a couple times, and went for a few walks. This week she asked me if I wanted to hang out, and I agreed. We went to this pub we’ve been to a couple times. What followed is the most awkward friend date I’ve ever been on.
First of all she couldn’t help but say very often, about how she hates men. (Now I personally like men; I just don’t want to sleep with them.) She went on to say how various members of her family think she’s a lesbian, including her grandmother. To add to this, she told me about this women's studies course she took in college. Even I haven’t taken a women’s studies course! (Update: When a mutual gay friend of ours asked why Tegan and Sarah were so popular in lesbian circles, non-lesbian, A, was very quick to say "they're lesbians!"...I just can't figure her out.)
The most awkward moment was when she said if she was a lesbian she would want someone who wasn’t interested in feminine things. Then she added she guessed that’s why she likes men. I point out there are women who aren’t interested in feminine things (like myself as she very well knows) and then, a pregnant pause. I felt bad for some reason and quickly changed the subject.
To add to the confusion of the night she kept on emphasizing this date she went on with her very male ex and how the kiss they had at the end of the night was just so amazing. But that going on a date with an ex was a “bad plan”. Also she implied she’s never had sex, because she’s waiting for marriage. Well I’ve never had sex either, but I’m waiting for women.
She befuddles me. Being gay is confusing sometimes.
