How does a girl in the city...

[cdkateinboston]

So to the moderators here, I am totally asking this question for the input the other girls have, and if in any way I've gone too far in the question please let me know (I don't visit as often as I should but I love the site and want to respect the rules!)

So how have ya'll reached out and found girls in the same city as you? So I love my female self, and I also love my male self, I'm only attracted to women but I want to make friends with girls in my area who respect that. So I guess I'm just asking for any girls out there who are in a somewhat major city who have found a way to make friends in our community? (and the city in my name is where I grew up but no where where i live now). Hope I get some answers. If not, either way I appreciate all the girls on this site and all the strength everyone provides :)

In the SF bay area meetup groups are an option.
There may be one near you.

MeetUp.com might have listings for gatherings in your area. I've met a lot of local gals here that way.

I would say meetup.com and be careful with craigslist

If you are in Atlanta...my old stomping grounds...there are a lot of tg friendly clubs! Many! Just stick with downtown..I stayed in buckhead or sandy springs, so the commute was quick...if adventurous, you can hit little five points on a Friday night!
.....I miss the city....but the ocean makes up for it, I guess. Seriously, be careful...and stay safe....stay away from the stadium and turner field....bad..bad spots! Good luck....

Another girl on this forum PM'ed me. We met at my apartment, made friend, and took a couple of pictures. The following Friday she came by, picked me up, and we went together to a LGBT friendly club about 40 minutes away. I got to meet other CD girlfriends. Now I have a couple of dozen! Although my first CD girlfriend has retired from the sport, the rest of us still get together on Friday's.

I just don't trust any one on the internet, and I have no interest in meeting cds.

Search the Internet for local groups. There are quite a few in New England where you grew up. Most try to avoid any appearance as a "hookup" group, just friends and support. As others have mentioned, Atlanta has venues that are very friendly.

Kate, you don't have to go to a "hookup" site or anything like that. Every town seems to have a LGBT center. That's a good start to find resources of what is available in your area. You can also reach out to others not his forum in your town. I have down that and had a great, platonic, time. My wife even came with me once!

Ive met a lot of local girls on Facebook.... and before that it was Yahoo 360 and Yahoo IM....

Why not just start a thread, maybe entitled “Anyone Else in Boston?” give a brief description about yourself and in the body of the text ask if there are any members in the Boston area that would be interested in getting together – if so please PM me.

It’s been 2.5 years since I joined and in my introductory post in the “Introductions and Re-Introductions” forum I stated that I lived in the San Diego area. In the post I mentioned that one of my interests was photography. Once I had my ten posts in I received several PM’s from forum members stating that they also lived in the San Diego area, one of whom was a photographer, and a couple of them suggested meeting (in drab) for coffee just to get to know one another. About the same time I also joined a local TG Support Group and discovered that several forum members also belonged to the support group; I enjoyed meeting them face to face. I have also carried on PM and Email exchanges with several members and while I haven’t met them face to face I have enjoyed the exchange since they are local and that gives us more in common.

Meeting and talking with others here is good.
It takes time to establish yourself and others may want to meet up with you eventually.
Just make yourself interesting and convey a pleasant disposition and a coffee morning is bound to eventuate.

[NathalieX66]

I've had great luck meeting people through Facebook.....using my girl side, of course.
I know, and have met so many of us between Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore & Washington DC.

First, change your location from GA to Boston.

I started by meeting 1 girl from this forum.

She introduced me to two others, and then to a larger group.

Then I went to Keystone Conference and met more girls than I could count.

I've met about 12 of my CD friends here FtF.

And I met a really good friend and her wife who I hang out a lot with.

Now I'm the one introducing new girls to my groups.
