Lately my mom has made jokes about me getting married (not in a pressuring kind of way, just teasing how we need an occasion for pretty dresses and party food) and every time she talks about my theoretical husband I cringe a little. Not that she would know any differently, but my current inclinations seem to be that if I were to get married, it wouldn't likely be to a dude. I feel like my family wouldn't want the details about every person of whatever gender who offers to buy me drinks and sleep with me, so they don't need to know about my current forays into dating. But I guess if I do ever manage to find myself in a serious relationship with a not-dude that's something I'm going to have to talk about...

I'm seeing one of my very best friends in a couple weeks, so I guess that'll be as good a time as any to catch her up on my current dating adventures, which, oh yeah, feature a girl. My other friends I might have to tell over Skype. And then once I have officially clarified to my favourite friends that I'm not so much of a hetero, I won't really care about who finds out or not. It would be very cool if someone wanted to be ~Facebook official~ with me and I could come out that way, though while single I guess I could just add my sexual orientation (...whatever it is...) to my profile.

Sorry, that's not much of a story of romance. Dating-wise, I started talking to someone I messaged on Okcupid and we're just a few messages in but she seems interesting and engaging. I'm really hoping she asks me out since I am tired of always being the initiator. I didn't see the crush this weekend, but she humoured me as I texted her about my current obsessions in queer non fiction, so she's cool, I like her, I hope we actually do see each other this week.
