well, I told him

[Beth Andrea]

I'm really glad that things are working out like that. I also fear that getting a relationship will be difficult, when I'm really being myself. I also hope my fears to be unjustified.

"There's a lid for every pot."

Seriously, better to be yourself and alone, than a fake with another fake. (No sincere person would willingly date (more than once) someone who is false).

Be yourself. Let your proper partner meet you...which means you have to put yourself out there, and yes everyone will reject you UNTIL you meet The One.

Accept and EMBRACE the rejections! Each one who rejects you, means you're one person closer to the one who will love you AS YOU ARE!!

/preaching is over

Can I have an AMEN!

I was reading through the thread and the suspense nearly killed me! Glad you finally found the courage to open and read the email and glad that it turned out better than what you expected! =)

well, I sent him a long email today about a possible relationship after revealing my trans status. He wrote me this really beautiful Email before he knew I was trans and I wrote a long reply based on what he wrote so if he's really still interested I should definitely find out if he's going to stick around for awhile pretty soon. If not I guess you keep moving along I think the hormones have made me a little too excited about being called pretty by someone  on the internet though.

[stephaniec]

well it was fun while it lasted, at least I know now that there are guys that like my looks. but I don't think they're too thrilled about the transgender part , but I could be wrong it's probably part of the online dating thing. live and learn

[adrian]

I'm sorry he chickened out. Hopefully, someone else will come along. You handled everything very bravely and considerate though. I hope you emerge from this with a bit of extra pride and confidence in yourself. A big hug!

[Beth Andrea]

Big *HUGS* to you Stephanie! There will be others!

[stephaniec]

thanks, I think I have to be more aware of the power of hormones. I did it to see the reaction to my picture and I kind of got surprised by this persons reaction. I don't know if it was real before he knew I was trans or not . My first experience , it was interesting though

[ImagineKate]

I'm so sorry Stephanie but as they say, "plenty of fish"

[stephaniec]

yea, as long as I don't hook any barracudas I'll be all right

C'est la vie mon ami,

Happens to the best of us Steph. Remember I was supposed to date a guy by the end of this month. I just realized that he didn't put his dating profile down and continues to scope some girls.

I confronted him and got really defensive and upset with me. Ugh! Men I tell you are just (warning: man hater vitriol) %^#*^$

Let go and Let GOD as I say.

Big hugs to you my friend We love you xo

[stephaniec]

well, I guess honestly It was my first time ever on a dating site and I left myself unguarded plus I didn't put trans down so I told him in the email I wrote that I totally understood if he couldn't accept it. just saw this handsome guy saying these beautiful things and I got a little crazy.  Then he wrote me this crazy beautiful email and I went double crazy and kind of lost it.
