I am a transgendered individual looking to find a man to take me out on a date, probably this summer. I am interested in something strictly platonic.

I am a kind and honest person who sometimes feels like a woman trapped in a man's body.

I am searching for a place where I can find such a person. Can anyone help me out?

maybe try craigs list.Good luck

I’m sure since you are being so open and honest that you will find a heterosexual gentleman who will want to regard you as female if you are open to that. Good luck and of course be careful.

hey Denise, and welcome!!

I have no idea what is about in your neck of the woods/ town/ city...however there are usually social clubs for transgendered people, to widen one's network of sympathetic and understanding open minded people..

Even here in Australia, we have many online communities for people outside the major towns and cities, to be able to link up with other people.

As to companions/friendships/ and dates... your profile is very clear honest and concise about your reasons for joining the site and what you hope to get out of it.

More power to you... and I hope you et the opportunity to enjoy a date.

Email me...I may have a friend for you...

there are lots of legit sites for tg peoples

they may be pay dating sites though.. but if you're serious about this then that shouldn't bother you.

I don't know of anywhere on the web. But I would suggest trying a local GLBTA? (and whatever part of the acronymn that I missed) Center. Local GLBTA centers might has social events or provide a safer environment for dating.

Wow!

Thanks for all of the replies and the good advice.

I put something on Craigslist and will follow up on the other suggestions.

The closest chapter for GLBT seems to be rather inactive. I am trying to see what I can learn.

best of luck to you

best of luck to you

Transgendered is the wrong word for you, my dear.
I believe what you are looking for is Transvestite. Transvestite means dressing up in the other gender's clothes. It's easy to remember because it has the word "vest" in it which is an article of clothing.

Ya know Im glad you spoke up because I was a little confused on that but didnt want to interject and piss anyone off.

I used to identify myself as a crossdresser but over the years I have come to learn it is more than that. I consider crossdresser to be more casual.

Transvestite would fit. But since I often feel that I am a female with male parts I consider myself to be transgendered. I wish I had the answers.

Can you get on the hormones? Then that would be a more accurate description. You would begin to grow breasts etc I do believe.

I know several TG individuals. Both post-op and pre-op. And they would never call themselves cross-dressers. Even the ones that have to live most of their life as the birth gender rather than what they feel is their true identity. But you also mentioned feeling like a woman trapped in a mans body.

First, I think before you start using online sources to meet people who can be friends but accept you as a woman, you may need to really soul search and figure out where you fit on the spectrum of sexuality and identity. Especially since you are married, so other people are involved.

I hope you find what you are looking for. But don't limit yourself to looking for men who can be friends and accept you as a woman and go out. What is really important if finding friends, male or female, that can accept you as you,regardless if you are able to dress and be who you feel you are that day or if you have to be what work and family expects you to be that day.

Mentally I'm not at the point of taking hormones. I would consider that only if I felt I was a transexual and needed to correct my parts.

I do have a very supportive spouse but she still likes my guy parts. I also have two children who don't know of this side of me at all.

I do this very part time.

Ahh! I see. That is VERY sensitive since you are married. Are you sexually attracted to men and want to be with men as a woman?

You are very wise Moondark. Very sound advice.

I have gone through many cycles of bingeing and purging. I have spent much of my life repressing my feelings and I get more bold and more in touch with my feelings each time I allow myself an opportunity to explore my feelings.

I am hoping to have a week this summer where I can live as a woman to help me sort things out. My spouse is supportive of that. Going on a date would be one way to learn what I am feeling.

I agree that since others are involved I need to proceed carefully.

Thanks.

No, I am not sexually attracted to men... I dont' think.

Sometimes I find myself fantasizing about encounters with men or having them in my dreams but I don't see a guy and think he is hot.

By the same token, when I see a beautiful woman I am often admiring her outfit or hair or ... I feel that I want to be like them.

It depends and I don't know why or when.

Well honestly that does sound to me like you are beginning to find men sexually attractive and counter to that, you tend to view attractive women the way a heterosexual female would in terms of pretty hair or nice make up. I’m not trying to rush you and I'm certainly no counselor. I’m just telling you how it appears to someone objectively viewing your responses.
