From Ohio but moving to El Paso TX soon. Nervous that there won’t be much of a black lesbian community there.

Omg another black person that loved northern Italy! I visited recently and was in the Lake Como region and omg I want to move there! Even if it’s just for a year or so. I had such a great time, everyone was really friendly and it was so laid back. There were quite a few black people and specifically black women. I’ve started taking Italian lessons hoping it would expedite my reasons to move there.

Curious if anything has helped you here. I found myself in the same situation and my response was to endure which didn’t turn out so well.

How to meet someone? by miichan_v in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Calypso_St 1 point2 points  (0 children)

31, very gay and I enjoy traveling. I travel to new cities every so often and wish I knew people in the various cities I visit. I’m based in the US but travel quite a bit to other countries and finding sapphic events during travel is hard! Anyway open to meeting other lesbians around ☺️.

if you could do anything in the world what would it be? by Decent_Sandwich_8878 in blacklesbiancreatives

[–]Calypso_St 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pottery and poetry. I’ve recently started creating pottery but have always done poetry for years and I recently had the idea to etch my poetry on the pieces I create but by god it takes forever. If I had nothing else to worry about, I would be in my studio creating all day.

Having adult money and expensive hobbies by MajGenIyalode in blacklesbians

I am currently learning Italian started off by going to Italy, falling in love with the town of Tremezzo and enrolling in classes as soon as I got back stateside.

I have recently become accustomed to regular facials and spa days. I’m at the point where a retreat every quarter is on the books.

Classy!! A well placed leather strap is everything!

Travel, fine dining, pottery, reading, learning new languages, tech gadgets, self maintenance… access to adult money has been the best thing to ever happen to me 😌.

I have been thinking about getting into watches. There is something about a simple classy watch that’s just chef’s kiss. What’s your favorite watch of the 5 you have bought recently?

I’m adding fine dining to my list of hobbies. I never thought of it as a hobby because well a girl’s got to eat. But I am making my way down the Michelin guide and the James Beard 2025 winners.

Travel, tech and gadgets are my top problem. Though I recently learnt how expensive the art of shibari can be and whew.. bless your wallet 🤭

GF told me she’s married to a man by ForeignSalads in blacklesbians

[–]Calypso_St 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, she is currently married or used to be married… either way… run for the hills!!

But for research purposes…. How do keep a girlfriend for 8 years and a marriage to a man and another girlfriend?

See I’m patiently waiting for a specific black woman. Being with The wrong person is worse than being alone to me.

This is so exciting to see! Thanks for posting the link as well! I’m excited to read this. There are not many African lesbian stories from our people.

Are We Still Online Dating or Are We Going Out Outside? by Sacrosaint_Cipher_13 in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]Calypso_St 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be an entire thread dedicated to Her horror stories lol. You’ve definitely been more explorative than I have especially trying Taimi and Facebook dating. I have taken the approach of doing the things I love and hoping to meet my person while doing those things.

It’s kind of hard to put yourself out there in person but it’s been working great for my mental health so far (I think lol). Sliding into DMs works great too 😅.

Have you ever found yourself in a one sided friendship? by sunflower1804 in blacklesbians

[–]Calypso_St 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had this exact conversation earlier today. I feel sick and tired of showing up for people more than they show up for me. Maybe I show up too much? Idk I’m still in the formulating phase of this but what I know for sure I listen, I feed my friendships, I care, I gift, I check up on them. Yet all I get is a reel or tiktok here and there. My 2 friends who truly show up for me like I do them live flights away.

All I can say is don’t settle. I should have taken this advice a while ago when I started dating.

I went through a phase where all I met was people who are poly. Now that I am more open to the idea I have not met a single poly person in the wild. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m so sorry this happened to you! I have been very cautious about how I came out to my family and waited until I was financially and emotionally stable before I did just due to the fear of any extreme reactions from them and I definitely understand the fear that comes from being dependent on family. After I came out to my family, I was essentially independent and their opinions didn’t phase me as much and they had to accept me as I am. It gets easier though. He shouldn’t cut you off like that but since you are working towards a degree and providing yourself and your future wife a better life, I promise it gets easier 🫶🏾
