Lesbian socialising?
I want to meet other people (not necessarily lesbians) but I think clubbing is highly overrated and expensive, and everyone seems to know each other so that's a big no-no.
I tried meeting people online to go to clubs with, but erm...no that was a big fail. For example, I had one woman being friendly etc, then all of a sudden she blocked me on Twitter. Which I thought was quite funny.
But anyway, where the hell does a young, single lesbian go to socialise in London? Apart from bloody Soho!:(

Hmm, yeah I guess. I guess what I'm getting at is where do you go if you're not into clubs etc, which seem to be ALL everyone is interested in.
I guess you could try and decide what you are interested in and go from there eg if you like the great outdoors there might be some walking clubs or something in your area or if you like books there might be a book club or something?
That's true, have always wanted to join a running club so might just do that then
Also, keep an eye out for the 'Gay Pride' festivals that happen every year, you could meet some really great people with similar interests to you.
I honestly have very little idea on how to advise you, as I'm am having such trouble with this myself... Good luck though, please let me know how you get on
LOVE that programme.
Phew, glad to hear it isn't just me!
I went to Gay Pride this year, but I found that everyone there was already in their own group of friends, which put me off a bit!
I will keep you posted, though it really is difficult!
There are a few good gay comedy clubs etc, so after the New Year is out of the way I think I'll be checking them out.
I tried and joined gay support groups and found comfort in the trans group. You're lucky they you live in london as there's so much out there.
Still finding it hard for myself here in nottingham!
Best of luck though
I just have to ask: what's the difference between a "comedy club" and a "gay comedy club"? I'm not taking the p or anything like that, I am genuinely curious about it.
I don't think there's any difference apart from the fact you know there's going to be gay people there.
So it's just like any other comedy club
The club is more "gay" friendly...eg. welcoming and catering to a gay crowd.
Yes..
Ok, thanks.
Firstly, London. You're right, SoHo is totally the wrong place to make friends. If you want a lay however it's brilliant
Try the pubs in Camden, you get quite a few chicks and i've found people there are generally really friendly. Don't be afraid to start a chat over a smoke or at the bar, a compliment is always a great conversation starter. Failing that, go to B&Q - that place is chocked full of lesbos (kidding, i'm not ignorant)
As has been said before, check the web for gay interest groups about things you like. I think there are quite a few dinner clubs for LGBT people as well, mostly people like yourself who want to make new friends in the community or people who are new to the city.
Also have a look through the Platonic (or perhaps women seeking women section?) of www.hallolondon.co.uk. I know 2 people who met for a coffee from that site and were the best of friends within the week (and still are 2 years on)
Failing all those, stand in the center of a pride event and offer 20% of vouchers for somewhere that sells comfortable shoes. That really can't go wrong
