Interview with a heterosexual lesbian #lol #jk

S: How do you identify?

L: Queer. Because I don’t really know what I want in life, or who I want it from.

S: How are you listed on Facebook?

L: It’s unlisted actually.

S: Do you feel that there is a social need to identify yourself?

L: I think so. But since being at Skidmore, I feel like that pressure has relaxed.

S: Which gender do you prefer to hook up with, in general?

L: I’ve had more experience with men, but I think I prefer hooking up with women.

S: Does the same go for dating?

L: Dating men is less drama, so it is easier. But then the sex part gets complicated.

S: Tell me about your most defining relationship

L: It was a girl. We dated in high school, and then we were long-distance for a year while she was a freshman at Skidmore. Then I applied here, to my parents’ dismay. I got in and they gave me the best aide, I liked the school from my visiting, so I chose to come here. But, the day after I came back from my pre-orientation, the day before classes started, she broke up with me. I was an emotional wreck. Over the course of the year we were off and on, resulting in a recent break-up.

S: Do you think you two are done for good?

L: I really don’t know. I would like to be, but I for some reason I can’t get my feelings for her out of my head.

S: Despite the messing endings, would you say it was an overall positive or negative experience?

L: Um, I’d say mostly positive, and even the negative parts have taught me something. It has shaped me as a person, and I think that is a good thing.

S: How has it changed your outlook on relationships?

L: It makes me very hesitant to be in one. Also, we never actually said that we were dating; we would just hook up and spend a lot of time together, until we basically were undeniably dating. So I feel more aware of where that line lies now.

S: Has [this girl] had any effect on your preference between boys and girls?

L: I guess so. Because with the experiences with her, I know what I like.

S: Do you enjoy hooking up with men?

L: Yes and no. I don’t always enjoy the sex, but I like everything up to that point.

S: Are you ok with the fact that you don’t know exactly what you want?

L: Yes, because I mean, I have time. And I feel like I’m in a good environment to figure that out.
