I wish I could figure out how to "Date" without ending up in a relationship. Which I guess is usually the point. Hmm..
Just someone I could take out for dinner or weekend excursions or simply have fun at events with.
The meetup idea is a good one; I went to a couple in Berkely while I was still in Ca and it was a good low pressure/interest based way to meet folks. I've been traveling too much of late for it, but now that things are calming down I think I'll try it in my new(ish) city soon. While I enjoy doing things on my own, and do, there are some things that are more fun when you have someone with you.
I agree that femme invisibility sucks. Especially for butches! (Can't pick you out of a crowd easily)
