People may find this stupid, but this is what I did. From the time I discovered I was a woman, up till I went post op I stopped dating. Each  person just do what you think is right. It did help that I wasnt much of a dating person to begin with as a man.

I don't really have a choice cuz no one wants to date me anyways But if a guy sees me as a girl why not? Not that it'll happen. But I totally support the decision you made! I probably won't make much of an effort until I'm post op either.

I notice many folks don't understand the difference between a gay man and a trans woman

If I get into a relationship with a man I expect him to be a kind, decent man who will treat me like a lady

I want too feel proud to say "This is my man" and I want him to feel proud to say "This is my woman"

I feel the same way, but I've never been in a relationship haha

Aww. I hate being single!! It's bugged me for a long time. BUT I'm somewhat okay with not dating yet, I would rather wait till I at least look good haha.

You're very lucky to have your youth... Time is on your side... It may seem to take forever right now, but soon you'll turn around and be smiling back at the beautiful young woman in the mirror 

My two penneth worth with this thread pre venturing out for eats....

When I went through the horrible chrysalis stage, relationships and what outcomes would be possible for me were not on my mind....at all....

Just getting to be the gal I knew I naturally was...... was key, and what I stayed myopic on...lol

And pre my change-over I'd only had long-term relationships with women, one girl I had a home with for 8 years.....then some years post-op for me when life, job and all was truly girlie settled...

I simply flipped over to being with men..... well when you're built for the ubiquitous vaginal based couplings......tends to be what you like to get up to, once you've the hang of it.....*s->-bleeped-<-s*

And all the men I've dated have been either previously married or had kids....so I wouldn't personally term them gay?

Not one of them ever doubted my femininity....which was good enough for me....also.

And as you gain confidence..... then the past you could accurately say is truly behind you....

Forget about relationships.....

Here are two key questions for you to think about:

1. Who really are you?
2. And what do you 'really' want?

Anything else is arbitrary....

Relationships and stuff aren't usually on my mind anymore but every once in a while I think about it =/ It's not gonna stop from transitioning, but I think it's a good idea to question every possible reason to not transition before you do. Just in case, which I did for about 2 seconds and I was like uhh no I don't wanna be a guy at all. I don't feel like one and I don't think I ever will.

Kimberly believe me , that once you start transitioning after a few months.You will constantly be thinking about relationships and in a diffrent light. Youre appointment is this month if I remember right ? I wish you best of luck, and hope you can start hormones very soon little sis.

Yeah my appointment is in less than 2 weeks! Dying!!! Even when I think of dating and even if it makes me sad, all I really care about lately is being a girl on the outside! I want my boobs already! And long hair!
