It was pretty f***** up. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And for that to be my first experience, it was just so depressing, and I was just like, &#8216;I think I&#8217;m just really cool being alone.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMaren then found out from her &#8220;lesbian friends&#8221; that she went through a &#8220;very normal&#8221; experience.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe star continued: &#8220;They&#8217;re like, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s very normal in the community. You start seeing women, and one is going to like almost ruin your life, like we&#8217;ve all been there. You just have to like push through.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Is that a thing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSinger Kathryn Gallagher sympathised with Maren in the post&#8217;s comments section, saying: &#8220;Oh yeah big time &#8211; hang in there! It gets SO good. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Grammy award-winning artist replied: &#8220;I&#8217;ll stay in the course but omg. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nKathryn, 32, responded: &#8220;Here to trade war stories whenever you want my girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMaren&#8217;s fans also showed their support, as one could relate: &#8220;Sorry girl. That&#8217;s f***** up. Hope ur journey gets better. My bi journey has been short too. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nA second supporter typed: &#8220;Every other one will be crazy..but hang in there. When you are ready, it will happen. You have to be good being alone first! (sic).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd a third follower wrote: &#8220;Its THE thing. Don&#8217;t give up! It gets so much better. (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn May 2025, Maren shared how &#8220;nervous&#8221; she was before her first date with a woman, but was relieved to have a great time.<\/p>\n<p>\nAppearing on an episode of the U Up? podcast, The Bones singer told co-hosts Jared Freid and Jordana Abraham: &#8220;I had never been on a date with a woman. So, of course, I&#8217;m going to be like, &#8216;What the hell does this look like?&#8217; But then it was so easy and ended up being like a three-hour hang.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Maren finds it easier to forge a deep connection with another woman compared to a man.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;My experience has been really positive. But I also have a confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman, within like two minutes, and we&#8217;ll be talking about our childhoods&#8230; Like, we will get into it so quickly. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;With a guy that would take like years to get into that trauma.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But we&#8217;re so good at building community out of sharing stories or gossip or whatever&#8230; It&#8217;s a survival technique. We cling together out of vulnerabilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut bonding with women on an &#8220;emotionally deep level&#8221; led to some confusion, where Maren has found it difficult to establish if there is a romantic spark or not.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe My Church performer said: &#8220;I sometimes have the hard delineation of romance versus friendship, because women can connect so quickly and easily, which is a magical thing about us.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But that&#8217;s the comparison, I guess, to dating men, right? Because I&#8217;ve been there. It&#8217;s like, I have enough friends. I think I&#8217;m good. I&#8217;m looking for something beyond that. But sometimes the chemistry isn&#8217;t there. It doesn&#8217;t depend, you know, on the guy or the girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/like-borderline-extortion-maren-morris-shares-first-experience-dating-woman-1440922.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 April 2026 Maren Morris described her first dating experience with a woman as &#8220;borderline extortion&#8221;.
