I feel like I am in a rut.
So... In May, I graduated college; studied my ass off and passed boards; got a job and moved to St.Paul. Now what? I feel like I worked so hard towards my dream and now I am living it. But, it isn't what I expected it to be. I moved to where none of my close friends live and I know practically no one. I know, I know - meet people. Easier said than done. I consider myself to be very outgoing, but I still have met no friends that I could actually go out on the town with. And I am not open about my sexuality- only my closest friends know. So, this is where you all come in :) I need advice!
Where do I go to meet people? I am not the type to go to a club myself. I can just imagine the horror - sitting alone on a bar stool, drinking alone and getting hit on by random drunk guys, who let's be honest, will not remember my name anyways. Not my idea of a good time. Should I get a part-time job?A waitressing job? I would love to be a bar tender, but I have no experience.
In addition, I see all of you who say that you were in past relationships or are currently in one. I met my ex when I was in high school - when I was 15. I have no idea what I am doing. How do you know if someone is interested in you or just wants to be your friend? How do you ask? I know on TLW, they talk about the "signs." Hell, if I saw myself walking down the street or at a club, I would not think I was into women.
Okay, I am done with my rant. I am just frustrated. What brought this on? Well, I went out to dinner a couple nights ago with my "straight-girl" crush. I wasn't sure if she just wanted to be my friend, or if she wanted something more. Then on the way to the restaurant, she tells me about this guy she dated for a while at work, but found out he was an ass; along with this date -a second date - she has "tomorrow night." My stomach sank. It's all good though. I am happy for her. She is a really nice and cool person and will be a good friend, but it just got me thinking. Besides having no gaydar, I feel like I have no idea what I am doing.

So all in all, I need help. I need advice as to how and jump start my life again. Any ideas?

Starting over and feeling lost,
