Autostraddle, on falling for straight girls (via meandthestereo)

What is the deal with people who message me on OkCupid and then don’t reply to my response?!
either your response wasn’t what they’d expected/hoped for, or they’ve gone on a date or two with another girl and don’t know yet if they should cut off communications with potential dates or keep y'all on standby, so they’re just not doing anything.
or they contracted pinkeye and aren’t in the mood to flirt.
She doesn’t read and I read all the time. I don’t know whether her not loving literature is a problem. Have you dated people who don’t read fiction for pleasure?
i have done the math and determined of the 9 ‘serious relationships’ i’ve had in my life, only 3 of those people frequently read fiction for pleasure – or, sought it out, i guess. if i knew you better, this is where i’d make a joke about how alex can’t read, but what if you don’t know me, or that running joke, and then you think i’m an asshole?
anyhow, it’s def important to date someone who’s open to reading fiction for pleasure though. 6 of my relationship activity partners read fiction sometimes or when i asked them to. like how i just made marni read the hunger games, because duh.
i’m moving far away from my town very soon & until yesterday i was totally confident about the decision. but it’s so painful to leave all the people that i love and now i don’t know why i wanted to go. how do i know if i should do this? love vs adventure?
if you want to go, go
this part of going is normal
it’s like a required stage in the process of going
My roommate is awesome, but has just gotten broken up with so I’m afraid she might be having intermittent periods of forgetfulness re: her own awesomeness. What are good ways to remind her of her awesomeness and the general inherent potential in her life
make her a 9.5 x 11 inch ‘poster’ called '10 things i love about [her name]’ and write them in a really neat-looking font with different-colored markers and then hang it on her wall.
I wish there were such a thing as a dyke-haircutter-finder-site. I’m sick of going to people who don’t understand the concept of asymmetry.
Just be clear. Bring pictures and use phrases like:
“Completely asymmetrical all the time”
“Above my ear on one side and below my ear on the other”
“I want to look like a lesbian”
“Like, extremely alternative”
