Lesbians + Internet dating = Removal vans

I've noticed a not all together recent phenomenon but definitely something that increasingly seems to be occurring with more frequency amongst my lesbian mates and within social circles.

This story starts with your friend's current relationship ending.

Then they feel lonely and like they're the only one not coupled up...

So they turn to the internet to seek rainbow love on-line...

But as I pointed out previously in The appeal of the internet when lesbian dating, the appeal is that on-line you can meet a whole load of lesbians from across the UK that haven't set foot in a lesbian bar since their inaugural coming out declaration.

And so... fast forward... a couple of weeks - this is lesbians we're talking about!

They find someone they connect with, but instant messaging isn't enough for all the estrogen, dopamine and norepinephrine being produced by this exchange. Internet dating progresses to 3 hour daily phone calls and mutual stalker-like texting throughout the day and night, quickly followed by weekly trips (sometimes hundreds of miles) to see each other, with depths-of-despair that verge on mourning when the weekend's over and Monday arrives.

You as the friend are discarded, the internet your curse, as weekend's are now for one purpose only... Of course there's only one ending to this story as I am experiencing only too well and as all fairytale stories of love must end...

How does the lesbian joke go... you know, the one about the second date?
