You've heard such arguments before. You've heard that you:
grew up without a father figure
hate men
and threaten family values.
Ever felt the urge to fight such fallacies but don't know how? Come join us
at Women's Nite as we find out how to set the record straight.

Friday, August 29, 2008
Your hands are sweaty, your mouth dry, and your heart is hammering in your chest. Yet you still can't seem to find the right words to say: I'm attracted to women.
"I'll wait for the right time," you tell yourself.
"I'll lose the friendship," you say.
"My parents will never accept it," you think, and hurt, inside.
But will the right time come? How do you know how your friends will react? And what if, just what if, your parents do accept it, over time?
Join us this Women's Nite for a heart-to-heart talk about what it takes to share that special part of yourself.

Women's Nite: Who Wears the Skirt? (May 31)
Friday, May 30, 2008
While the heterosexual world has traditional "rules" about dating, we often
wonder what to do on a date. Who should pay on the first date, and who
should see whom home? For that matter, how should housework be split?
Does being gay let you defy traditional gender roles? Or is the one who
wears the skirt still stuck with the cooking and cleaning?
This Women's Nite, let's talk about our expectations around being with
another woman.

Is it possible to truly fall in love with someone whom you've chatted with

Women's Nite: January 2008 topic: So... it's a date? (Jan 26)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Dear Aunt Agony,
There's this woman I really like. I can't tell if she likes women (but I hope she does!!). We've gone out for coffee many times together. We really enjoy each other's company. Now she's asked me out for a movie. What do you think?? Is it a date? Is she attracted to me? Or is it just a 'friends' thing? Please help, because I need to know what to wear!
Thanks,
CuteGrrl
P/s: The movie we're watching is "I Am Legend". Do you think it's a date movie or what??
When does hanging out together turn into a date? This Women's Nite, join us as we muse on the thrills and spills of girl-on-girl dating!
