Where would a ftm guy, like me,  look for an open minded lady to start a serious relationship? Is there a place to go where there are straight/bi/wateva girls who are looking for ftm guys? Im a noob when it comes to dating or relationships in general. Is there any substance in online relaitionships? Any insight from you loved up guy and gals would be great :)

Depends on what you're looking for and are comfortable with. I (for example) am not comfortable with the idea of dating somebody who specifically is attracted to trans men, or identifies as a lesbian. Others are fine with that. There are some websites intended for trans men and people who love trans men, websites for admirers, I've heard that lesbians often are attracted to trans men. I can't say much about if you're not okay with that. I haven't found where those types are.

Hey, well, as embarrassing as this is, I did find my fiancee on Downelink.com. Now, as a warning, many of these girls aren't relationship material in MY opinion. However, I was on there for fun and I met her. She is my heart and soul. Not a drinker, not a drug user, nothing. When we started dating, she didn't even curse! Ha, she is amazing. Very open minded and amazing.
Now, as for substance to online relationships, it is basically what you and the other person make of it. She and I are 24-7 communicating. I rarely get to be with her, but when we are together, it's amazing. We cherish every second of that physical contact since neither of us have cars. But we are only an hour and a half away so it isn't completely terrible.

I'm not sure how old you are. If you're in high school, look and see if there is a GSA. If you're at a university, chances are, they have one too. Also check out a Pride event. Lots of like minded people. :)

^ Nick's right about the GSA and Pride events.

I met my boyfriend at a local LGBT support group. It's not school related, but it's in the same area of town as my school.

To be honest, I don't think you need to worry about checking only places where so-called "FTM-attracted/LGBT" girls are likely to be.  I'm sure that there are plenty of open-minded ladies everywhere who would be attracted to you.  I met my wife on a non-trans site.  Maybe join forums related to your interests and you may be surprised.

I agree. I met my ex on a non-trans place, and my transition in and of itself was not a factor in the breakup or relationship problems. It's difficult no matter where you go, sometimes, but certainly not impossible.

I actually met my boyfriend by accident on a non-dating related site :'P. Online dating can be a great alternative for anyone. I've never really been fond of traditional dating, so anyone I've met and considered as a romantic partner I've met online first. I have a nervous stutter and it helps me get to know people without sounding like an idiot XP. By the time people see how bad my stutter is, they like me too much to get rid of me :'D. Then I relax and it goes away almost completely :'P.

Recently, I've turned to online dating, and I've realized,
That I'm not okay with 'Trans Only' dating sites because they seem to attract people who consider trans a fetish, and I'm not alright with that.
I want to be treated like a person, not a fetish or a fixation.
So I just go to whatever site I damn-well please, and I usually mentioned that I'm trans within the biography part of the profile, or wherever it may be appropriate.
It's surprisingly how much interest I've gotten from girls who identify as straight, and I haven't gotten any negative comments for it, not yet anyway.
Right now, I'm on OkCupid, it's not great, but there are some decent people there.
