It’s official, I want a girlfriend. Not a straight girl on a boy fast, a boy with effeminate qualities (though I’ll definitely take a boi), or more random hookups with girls that are friends.
Last night I had a first date (second encounter) with Soccer. It was lovely, he dressed nice and smelled great, and we were comfortable enough to joke about how you’re never supposed to talk about exes on a date. Then we talked about exes.
We found a cozy booth in the back of my favorite authentic Italian caffe/bar. He was just the right balance of decisive and flexible. He suggested a bottle-great sign! Show’s he is committed to the evening and has no judgement against more than just light drinking. But tastefully, of course. Also went right along with me, though, when I countered with a desire to order by the glass so we could try more than one wine. We learned each other’s interests, I found the body language infinitely more interesting than the vocal, we kissed and it was just as hot as I remembered. All in all, fantastic date.
Here’s the thing. When we left our secluded booth world and went for the customary late night drunk slice of pizza, all I could see were women. There were more pairs of beautiful women holding hands, walking arm in arm, cuddling the the line at the pizza place than I ever remember seeing in the East Village on a Friday night before. What was going on here? Did I pull a Rip Van Winkle, fall asleep and wake up in pride week? Or some utopian future full of gorgeous young lesbians, many with skirts and long hair, and no hesitancy towards public affection?
And on Sat morning, I woke up not thinking of Soccer, though the kisses were hot and his hands were soft and his neck smelled spring clean. No, I awoke thinking of a woman. One I’m 99.999999% sure has a beautiful, amazing, wonderful girlfriend (I know the probable girlfriend and like her very much!) Nevertheless she never fails to make me laugh with every corny joke and trill with fucking bird song when she asks for a lipstick mark on her cheek or if I have a boyfriend. Or girlfriend.
I don’t want her, though her surreptitious psuedo-flirting is intriguing (and by intriguing I mean enough to drive a poor bisexual fuckin crazy. And by crazy I mean getting drunk and updating the OK Cupid profile.) I do want what she and her girlfriend have, I want a woman like her, I want the fucking lesbian mind meld and playdates for our cats, goddamnit!
Dyke of my readership (Or more accurately, friends of dykes of my readership) Take note! Now this is the time, now is the season. I’ve never asked this before, but for once in my life I’m ready to be set up.
Some qualifications:
-Between 5 foot and 5’10”
-Long red hair is really hot. Or short brown hair. Or short blonde hair. I like wavy. Or long brown hair thick enough to really grab a handful and tug. Slowly, steadily. Until she moans.
-Makes me laugh and is funnier than I am
-However, not a spotlight hog. Not louder than I am. Will let me take center stage when I need and knows when I don’t. Never jealous or insecure. Or really angry for that matter. At least not in the first two months. Generally happy and positive.
-Drinking: not too heavily. But enough to keep up with me. Adhering to her habits shouldn’t leave me feeling restricted
-Shoes: never slingbacks with pants or pointy toed boots. Shiny, well cared for sneakers are great. No steel toed boots, unless she is a manual laborer please.
-High sex drive. Sex positive. Loves food. Weight positive. Cleaner kitchen than mine, but doesn’t mind my splatter. Mess positive. Likes dogs and cats, but never goes super mushy when seeing one on the street.
-Cute freckles/birth marks/dimples/scars are a plus.
My selling points:
-Great smile. And I use it with strangers on the street, often accompanied by a time of day appropriate greeting.
-I bring an upbeat, sunny, encouraging energy to almost any situation.
-Proportionate body. With plenty of curves.
-Loves eating, drinking, dancing and getting naked. And totally unashamed.
-Honest. Sometimes overly so, I make myself vulnerable intentionally. But then I take teasing really well. And I laugh at all the right times.
-I know all the best coffee shops in Manhattan and BK.
-Great traveller. Never forget to pack underwear. Decent collection of sexy underwear.
-Understanding and laid back about time constraints/busy schedule/punctuality.
-Cute freckles on my butt, and dimples on my face. Come to think of it, cute dimples on my butt and freckles on my face as well.
There you have it. Not too much to ask, really. Barring all success with aforementioned qualites, writer will content herself with scoping out local Lesbian parties when schedule makes such activity feasible. Next June, perhaps.
