Hows your relationship status as you transition?

[stephaniec]

Just curious, when I was younger I use to date quite a bit then I hit a dysphoric wall and stopped all social interaction for quite a long time. Being on Susan's the past 2 years has been my only interaction with people other than my therapist and a few people in the coffee places I go. I've never been married. I'm trying ever so slowly to get myself back in , but its mostly on the back burner . If  it happens fine , if it doesn't fine . I'm just enjoying the transition and traveling down a new road. I love being me finally.

My wife died back in 2009. Since then, I met a great lady but since I transitioned we are just friends now. All future plans long term plans like marriage were shelved until I "came back". I told her the man she knew is never coming back so it's friends and support. If I find someone I love or wish to date, I can but doubtful I'll ever find my "soul mate". There's one woman I am truly in love with, don't think she suspects, but I highly doubt it will ever go anywhere. Too many professional road blocks.

Love,
Clare

At the start of my transition I decided to not date anyone until I got the operation as its the biggest obstacle for me, so I doubt I could give anyone the attention they would deserve until my major part of stress and dysphoria are gone.
So far I have kept to this but I still have a long way to go till the operation, so that might change one day lol.

I'm interested in dating but it's tough while transitioning. I seem to only get looks from shady characters.

I've been married for years and feel very lucky that my spouse has stayed with me since my coming out two years ago.  More amazing to me is that she is not resentful about my decision to transition.  I have her full support.  The fact is, our relationship has improved since the initial rough patch when big adjustments had to be made.  I guess you just never know how things will turn out.

I picked other because I am a 34 year old virgin who's closest thing to dating or romantic encounters was when I was 8 and on a dare kissed a girl in a tree under a blanket.

for most of my life I had myself convinced that I could never be with someone because it would be wrong and cruel to them so I cut that desire out of my life save in the most fanciful of dreams then I started HRT and my sex drive died and I mostly stopped thinking about it all together. Then about 2-3 months later it came back and now for the first time in decades I find myself with a real desire for closeness, and intamacy. I don't expect it to happen any time soon or perhaps ever but I do want it and the idea of having it dose not scare me like it once did, I no longer feel like I have to have my body perfect before I even try, I am starting to hesititantly accept that I might not be a awful person.

so ya thats where things stand now, second puberty, second chance.

Transitioning has been unambiguously great for dating. I spent most of my 20s single, largely because I was trying to decide whether to transition and how to deal with my gender identity in the context of relationships. I dated a lot more after I started transitioning, and I've been in a relationship for several years. It's way easier to be in a relationship when it doesn't involve the other person being into someone that you don't want to be.

[stephaniec]

I haven't dated for a long time, but I always keep a light burning. The HRT has helped me quite a bit not worrying about it. Before I started HRT and what caused me to start HRT was the fact That I seriously was thinking it was all over, but the HRT gave me hope and it also calmed me down so if it happens it happens , but I'm not going to die because of hopelessness .

Single but not dating...

I was in a long-term relationship just before transitioning, but we broke up a few months before I started hormones.

Since then I pretty much haven't even tried. Too many complications, too much anxiety, too much effort. Plus I need to learn to love myself first before I can try to love another person again.

[Alainaluvsu]

I was always kinda lonely on and off and wanted somebody pre transition. I've slowly moved on from that and now I just don't care. I don't care to date or have sex. If it happens, whatever ... but I'm not looking for it and I don't really want anything right now.

Things are great with my lovely spouse and I, once she got over the initial shock four years ago her response the next day was "well, I guess we need to go shopping for you"

I just love her fashion sense help and hair/makeup ideas....we truly are best friends

As of Tomorrow I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for the 10 months. I have never been married or been in a relationship before that. I avoided before transition; Hugs
