Hi, Im Shy And Unsure... (Single)

hi, my name is Leigh.
I am 28 years old from canada.
All my life i have found men and women to be attractive but only in the last few years of adulthood have i fully understood what this meant for me.
Now, please before judging me; you should know that i was born brain damaged and so comprehension and understanding takes a little longer for me.

I was in love with my best friend for years- and to this day i love her.
I have tried dating sites and have found that when you tell those of the bisexual/ lesbian community that you have never actually been with a woman- they automatically pass you by and i feel very... confused and unwanted by both genders at this point.
Is this normal?
I am a good hearted person with a good personality; i am into anime, tattoos, piercings and reptiles... i love all music (except screamo and heavy metal).
I love to laugh and i have a very sensitive side... (i am a hyper-empathetic person) the plights of people and animals and all of creation hurts me, i suffer with them.
I try to do whats right and it makes me happy to help people.
MY ideal job would be doing something that helps either people or animals- through conservation work, environmental work. volunteering is one of the things i have been looking into more and more.
As earlier stated i love reptiles and so my other ideal occupation and the one which i have chosen to pursue is reptile breeding!

What do i hope to gain from joining this forum?
New friends in a community that understands that everyone started somewhere... and that even though im 28 and only just beginning that i am worth acknowledging and i would love nothing more than to feel welcomed and to get to know every ones story.

Anyway, im sorry if i have rambled on for too long...i know this was an introduction; i may have gotten carried away; i'll let you be the judge!
Thanks, so much for reading this and i hope that if you can relate to this at all; that it brings a smile to your face in knowing that you are not alone.
~sincerely;

Hi Leigh. I thought that was a great introduction. If you haven't found the Bisexual and Lesbian sections, you can look for them here http://www.hipforums.com/forum/forum/61-gay/. I think you'll probably find some like minds on those topics.

There's a Pets and Animals section too. You'll probably find some fellow reptile lovers in there.http://www.hipforums.com/forum/forum/65-pets-and-animals/

 

Thank you so very much! I'll check these out Right Now!

 

Thank you very much for your words- they made my morning
