How do you know you're going out with someone?

The lovely Lin facilitated last night (28 April) at the Women's Library and asked “How do you know when you’re going out with someone?” An interesting topic and our responses were: “She said she loved me the morning after we first slept together so it was over, when you changed your status on the Pink Sofa, when it’s physical, they write you a letter telling you, I go into and out of relationships all the time and haven’t a clue, had the talk about dating and I haven’t seen her since, face book status, when the shit hits the fan, when you need to see a psychotherapist twice a week, not quite sure how it works, she kisses you, can’t know someone else’s mind, talk about what you want, in the lesbian world there are only a few initiators but they’re very busy". And then there was New Rule's

offering. Which had something to do with apples and apples and five girlfriends and control groups and spreadsheets and pivot tables. Which just goes to show that if you have a strongly analytical mind you’ll know you’re in a relationship when you find the square root. A good topic and we’ve even got next week’s topic organised as well! The lovely Fiona put up her hand to facilitate and ask “Is there still a need for women only spaces?”
