im addicted to striaght gurls every gurl i like ends up straight or taken it sucks

So is it all because you don't go out to seek lesbian/bi girls? Or you just aren't in that scene? I know for me, having only come out 3 years ago which included a period of disappearing from the gay scene for about a year and a half, I find myself attracted to straight girls cause I don't know very many lesbians/bi girls anymore.

For some reason for me (mostly cause I think I'm still a bit shy around girls lol...) I just can't seem to make a lot of gay friends. Most of the really good friends I have are straight.

Straight girls are my kyrptonite as well. Maybe it is their fem ways. I'm always finding myself bumbling around when one of them looks at me. Not all of them, just some. I just got out of a long relationship (she wasn't straight though). People have asked why I dated her since she seemed so butch. They're right in that sense, I like women, ergo I like women who exude those qualities. But I don't like to judge ppl by their looks, and I'd not been happy with what I'd seen of the lesbian dating scene. We had a great relationship, and are staying friends. And now I'm trying to tell myself to avoid falling for the straight girls again.

Besides liking more feminine women, and guilting myself over all the wonderful lesbians I am passing up (not that lesbians can't be fem), I beat myself up over wanting a real relationship (eventually) yet only turning my attention towards straight (unavailable) women. And yes, I do find putting myself out there to other lesbians a little intemidating. Relationships with women are intense! Lol. So maybe I'm not truely ready for one? Maybe I'm worried I don't know how to have one (broken homes are great on the psychi). I can't think of anyone who's been in a long-lasting, happy, relationship who isn't 80, especially on TV. Maybe I'm afraid of getting hurt. We all want love, but we forget we need our own love first. So, I just try to keep a few things in mind.

1. Stop hating myself (for whatever possible reasons)

2. I don't need to be in a relationship (its a want, not a need)

3. Being attracted to straight girls is fine. Acting on it, knowing the outcome will be bad, is not healthy.

4. What kind of relationship do you want? Exclusive, open, etc? If what you want is not what you have then you'll never be truely happy. Don't settle.

5. If you haven't been around healthy/happy relationships, you may need some guidance to have one.

Since I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from, advice would be welcome, haha.  I also get a surprised reaction when I mention that I'm not straight, because I guess I don't come off as gay, and I also am not attracted to the butch type.  I currently am crushing HARD on yet another straight girl that I possibly stand a chance with, but it's never really clear, haha.  Being that we were pretty much inseperable until I told her and now she is keeping her distance (although I think she's somewhat interested as she got pretty jealous when I told her I kissed someone else), I'm not really sure where we stand, and I'm DEFINATELY not sure why straight girls are my weakness, haha.  There's not really a big gay base where I'm from, and I don't really have too much in common with the lesbians that I know here.  So I understand, and I apologize for not being able to help, as we have the same problem, haha, and I have yet to come to any solutions!

I'm in love ... with a straight girl ... :(

"Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost"

I can absolutely relate. My best friend at work is married, has a kid, and is 15 years older than me and I completely have this unrequited crush on her. It's terrible. I always find myself attracted to the straight girl. It does not matter if there is this gorgeous lesbian that is interested in me, I will pine over her straight friend and tell my woes to the gal that really is into me. Oh well, you can't help who you are attracted to.

...oh GOD!! aren't we all..

There was this girl I did Concerto Barocco with

The straight girl i love is a tease. I told that I was a lesbian, and she still flirts with me. Maybe she wants something more and doesn't know how to say it, or she's such a big tease, she doesn't realize what she's doing. I probably shouldn't talk to her (or at least not as much as I am) because deep down I know nothing will ever happen, but this hope I have still lingers. I consider this an addiction... ;)

Jeez we all have the same problem here. =(

In my case, I guess it's just that unattainable, forbidden factor that makes everything all the more exciting...

Yeah, that and the fact that most of the straight girls around me are really friendly and flirty .. but eventually, they're straight. We have to wrap our heads around that.

--------------------------------------------------

Here's hoping I listen to my own advice...

amen....i love a straight girl but they are nothing but trouble for me.....

Straight girls are bad news for us poor lesbians I think, but I don't think i can avoid them. :( It's not my fault they're so cute!! I think part of it too is I see myself as either the submissive or dominant one in a relationship...the protector or the one being protected...and I'm attracted to straight girls in the 'protector' sense. I really don't have that much in common with them (I tend to be more like a guy, though people assume I'm a straight tomboy), but I adore them...they're so cute, haha.

I fell for a straight girl a while back, who told me she was bi after i came out to her and started flirting with me A LOT. We never got together though (she knew my feelings for her), and then there was this whole thing with another guy which she broke off, starting coming on to me, then the day after she told me she had feelings for me she hooked up with him. ?? Oh well...I eventually realized she just liked the attention/affection (probably stemming from family problems she had) and that she was really nothing like I thought...so there went that.

But now I like this other straight girl....a lot. She doesn't know I'm gay though (I think?? I don't tend to hide my sexuality but I don't exactly come out to people either...she'd only know if a mutual friend of ours told her, and people tend to assume I'm straight), and mostly is just really friendly to me. She's adorable and basically amazing, and has told me before that I always light up her day. I know I have zero chance with her (unless she's a closeted bi...i've seen her with guys before), but still...my little heart races when she's around. *wistful sigh*

I'm a senior in high school and still fairly new to it all, so this is confusing to me, haha.

I have a thing for this gal..who lives opposite my hostel room..

the best part is that everytime she sees me,she looks like she wants to throw her hands around my neck, and choke me to death..but i find that such a turn on....GOSH

n i bet she's straight....sigh..

With straight girls, there are more to choose from.  Its like Willy Wonka and the Choclate factory.  I found that femme looking lesbians like Jill Bennett, Bridget Mcmanus, Portia de Rossi, and Jodie Foster; aren't the type of women that would hold my attention. But I'm also probably the only one that doesn't think that anyone fromt the cast of the L word is hot, with the exception of Mia Kirshner.  

Don't get me wrong.  You should stay away from the straight girls.  I haven't been with a woman yet except for the one time when I was 12, but common sense tells me not to pursue a straight girl.  Especially an straight girl that is wishy washy about the whole thing.  

I am bi myself, and even I don't like it when straight people go to gay clubs.  Straight people should have name tags, like at conventions when they go to gay club.  T
