#10) Love At First Sight

Thoughts on finding Miss right

After things ended with Pamela, I kept on dating. Maybe it was more like power dating: I went on a seemingly endless series of first dates, almost all of which ended up as just that—a first date. At the same time, I noticed that in my work running a women’s rights organization, I was meeting tons of women with common interests, so I devised a new strategy to attend more events hosted by LGBTQ advocacy groups. I went to a myriad of events—from wine nights to sports outings to Broadway shows—each time arriving with high hopes of finding Miss right. Unfortunately, my optimism was thwarted, as the vast majority of attendees at these events were gay men, and among the women, almost all were either couples or straight women accompanying their gay guy friends (teases!).
