Straddler-on-Straddler advice 11 years, 10 months ago
so i moved to London like 4 months ago and have only been able to make one gay friend, how did you find yours? Everyone says to do it online but it’s really difficult that way. If I talk to girls at a lesbian club or night i find they think i’m hitting on them. what should i do? where did you find your bros?
-
Hmmm that’s a really good question. Unfortch, no matter how you approach another lez she might think you are hitting on her. I would try maybe joining an athletic team, speaking to girls in bars/clubs, maybe scouting out a queer bookstore or a cafe in a queer neighborhood. Good luck!

The LGBT organization in my area has groups for various age groups and interests. You might see if you can find anything like that. I recently moved to a new area, and I’ve made several gay friends through that.

Me: errr…. yes.
6yo: More girls than boys?
Me: errr… yes.
6yo: me too.6yo: are…[Read more]

3. If you have been to a country that didn’t speak English (or another language that you are fluent in) how did you cope?Just a memo being I’m planning to stay for 3 months so I’ll kind…[Read more]

I haven’t ever been in Europe for longer than a week or so, but in case you’re interested, the Netherlands is particularly good as (in my experience, anyway!) Dutch people do tend to know English. I also went to Berlin recently and most (though not all) people did speak English, at least a little.

I love the Netherlands! I want to learn Dutch and live there, everyone can speak English there and in Flanders!

Any metroploitan city in Europe will be fairly easy to navigate in English. English is the default international option, so any area catering to tourists will likely have a lot of English speaking people and signs.
I’ve lived abroad several times in countries where I did not speak the language and have never had big problems getting around or…[Read more]

really good advice. thanks!

I agree with the others, you shouldn’t have a problem. One thing you should do though, is try to learn the language — when I was last travelling I found listening to pod casts was great, and easy to do while you were on trains, planes etc. The most important word you’ll need is excuse me. The German is “entschuldigung,” which takes some…[Read more]

If you want to go north, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland are essentially bilingual countries… most people you meet will be fluent and the ones who aren’t can still speak conversational English. They are kind of expensive though, especially Norway. Sweden is a little cheaper than Denmark.
Germany in the cities is fine… touristy parts of…[Read more]

Welcome Cindy! C’mon in! We’re in the pre-planning stages, so if you have thoughts/feelings about what we might do, share them! Also we might need to start pinning down a date in January… I am thinking perhaps the first weekend after New Year… What do you think?
Bx-
Yeah.. i think you/we should set a date. So I can tell my boss i’m not working that weekend. And also look for cheap tickets ;)
