"Spaghetti Lesbian, straight until ..."

You guys, I need some SERIOUS advice. I need help with meeting women, coming out, and relationships

Okay let me start by summing up my bio as short as I can...I am a bisexual, yes and if you think like Megan Fox then you might not want to go on. (And no i will not be going into detail about sex with men). Anyway, I've just recently found out my feelings toward women was not only an emotional one, but also a sexual one. How? It's your typical "spaghetti lesbian, straight until wet" story. I will definitely be talking about that later. All throughout life I have never once met an out lesbian. Maybe I have though but the thing is, my gaydar doesn't work! So what do I need advice on? One, How and where do I meet lesbian women in Houston? Two, How do I know if they're a lesbian so when and if I work up enough courage to approach them I won't look like a fool. three, what's the best way to get her attention. And finally, how do I let the person i'm interested in know that i am a lesbian? This is all very new to me so please don't take anything I say offensively.

I have never had any problems meeting guys before, but I've never had to approach a man so I have no clue what to do. Why is it so easy to find a man but not a lesbian woman?

__________________________________________________

That aside, let me tell you about the girl who made me realize my love for a woman's body. Let's call her "K". I had a class with K and from day one i thought that she was beautiful but nothing more than that. She approached me one day after class as we were both walking to our cars and asked me where i had my tattoo on my lower side done and i told her i got it done by this guy in town, she said and i quote "i will only let a woman touch my body, i don't like it when men do it, it's too hard" (yes, i realize now that it meant something deeper than that). I still had no idea this girl was a lesbian, i know but like i said, i didn't really know aany lesbians. Fastforward 2 months and we're at her apartment with 2 other people working on a project. As everyone was packing up she went over to get my drink and spilled it all over my shirt and then offered if i wanted to borrow a tshirt and i said yes, cokes get stickyy. I was washing up in her bathroom when she busts through the door and kissed me! (It was like when Marina went in to kiss Jenny, only i didn't kiss and leave) After 3 second she pulls away and apologized and told me that she's wanted to do that for so long and that she made advances at me but i never did anything which drove her crazy, keep in mind, i didn't even know she was flirting. I was up against this girls bathroom wall with nothing but my boyshorts and her tshirt on and i have to say it was so freaking SEXY! She turned me around and picked me up onto the sink and..well you know what happens next. This happened last week so thinking about it still gives me tingles!
Anwyway I'm devastated because she told me she's going back to school in Cali and told me she had fun with me blah blah blah. She hit and quit. I'm still really stuck on her, being my first and all. I was so sad that i even considered sleeping with my ex! Oh and i gave up men until i have sex with a woman again. The only man in my life is Johnnie Walker. I need to get over this girl and fast because i do not want to end up doing something that i am going to regret.

Any ideas? I'm up for almost anything!

Gay Bar

Gay bar or community center. Since Houston is a city it shouldn't be difficult to find one.

I don't know how you feel

I don't know how you feel about like... meeting people from the internet. But Okcupid.com is a really gay-friendly site and it will help you locate all the bisexual/lesbians in your town. You can try meeting people through there and talking to them and getting more acquainted with your "bisexual/lesbian side"

 

Also you can google gay bars, GSA's, LBGT events and such on google for your area. :)

 

Good Luck.

And don't feel insecure or anything... your gay coming-to story was much like mine was only 7 months ago.

Gay bars are good places to

Gay bars are good places to pick up girls for an adventure. And you can hit on the girl without risk. I mean most of the girls go there for having fun.

Thank you all but..

The prblem is..I haven't come out to my close firends yet and I don't want to go to a bar alone, just from experience when i went to bars with friends it was already dangerous enough!

I just wish i can meet a hot girl at starbucks that's intereted in me and then we hit it off, oh life would be perfect! ;)

Woww....i wish i had ur

Woww....i wish i had ur confidance! o yeah just goo to some gay bars with some friends that ur out to and just hav fun pulling gurls :-))
Natalie's picture

haha me too

I have confidence, but more with men. The thing is before i can apporoach a woman, i would have to know whether she was into me or not, and if she is, then my confidence level goes through the roof and i can flirt like crazy!
Also, I don't have anyone to go to the bars with but i think that would be fun if i could find someone to go with me

Know how u feel

I feel pretty much the same. I'm 39 & have only ever been with men. Been hit on by women b4, but was never interested at all. Then I saw Anna Torv kiss Shelley Conn on Mistresses & I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I have a friend who has flirted with me for over a year. I just recently started flirting back & we have been going out. She tells everyone we're dating, & a mutual friend told me she wants me badly. I told him I want her too, but I am too shy to make a move. We went to her house recently & she went to plug a sign in & dropped her pants in front of me (yes, she had panties on) & I just froze. I couldn't do anything. She just pulled the pants up & acted like it never happened. I wanted so badly to touch her, but I have never been the one to make the move. I just wish she would kiss me. Then it would be on. I don't know how old u r, but believe me-discovering at 39 that I am attracted to women is a strange journey for me. I wish this would have happened when I was younger & had more confidence. I say go for it while you're young. Put yourself out there. If you've never had to approach a man, then I'd say women will find u attractive also, & maybe the women will approach u. Look around. If a woman catches your eye, hold her gaze a second too long-perhaps she'll approach u, or maybe buy u a drink from across the bar. Just know that there r women out there in the same boat with u & that we all r wishing u well.

Wow

that's what comes to my mind, wow. You seem like a really cool person. I'm 20 and lemme tell you, not much confidence in this area either. I don't think it has to do with your age, just how ready you are. I say if you really want it with your friend, go for it, obviously she wants it too. I mean, what's the worse that could happen, right? i should be telling myself this haha. I hope you goodluck and do let me know when you or her make a move! And thanks for the advice, I'm going to try if you try it :D

gotta make a move soon

Yeah, I have to make a move soon, because my lady is moving also. In the next month or two she's going to be moving three states away. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for me, because if I make a fool out of myself, I probably would never have to see her again. She says she wants me to visit her there, who knows. She told me she's been with a woman b4, but she has been in trouble at work several times for touching other women, so I suspect she's been with more than just one. She at least is very attracted to women, even though she just ended a relationship with a man. I think I'm going to text her today & tell her that I'm dying to kiss her, & see what sort of response I get. Hopefully it will be great. :) I mean, I've never had any complaints from men in my past, but I'm curious to see if a woman would enjoy me as much. We're both Virgos, don't know if that's good or bad. I just believe that the best thing we can do in life is connect with another human being on an intimate level. The most pleasure I have ever known was by totally losing myself in giving another pleasure. Unfortunately, love & lust are often mistaken for one another, & I've had men fall for me when I didn't want them to. I don't want to develop a love relationship with this woman since she will be moving, & I'm hoping she'll feel the same and we can just enjoy one another for this short time. That's my intent anyway.:) Thanks for allowing me to ramble on.

trial and error

first - i've been out for awhile and never heard of the term"spaghetti lesbian" it made me chuckle.

anyway, on to your dilemma.. really meeting and approaching women is a trial and error process. obviously you are giving off gay vibes because she felt compelled to push you against the wall and kiss you. ive never tried that approach before but i might. haha

some people say that you can tell from looking at a girl's eyes. some say its how they lean in or touch you. in my experience its always been different. my advice to you is to not put pressure on yourself in trying to figure out whether a girl is gay or not. get to know her first, what does she like? what is she into? genuinely try to see how she is as a person and the gay subject is bound to be talked about one way or another. i live in nyc so the gay scene is a little bit bigger here than in texas. try going to local websites and school LGTB meetings. but like i said, its a trial and error process and we all find our own way. i went to my local gay center - perhaps you have one too.

good luck!
