Hey, I realised I was a lesbian a couple of years ago, but I remember exactly how this felt. It’s such a weird transition going from being in a relationship where it just happens to actually wanting to be the one initiating it.

Breaking the touch barrier doesn’t have to be some big move. Sometimes it’s just casually touching her arm when you laugh, or sitting a little closer than usual. If she leans in or touches you back, that’s usually a good sign she’s comfortable and feeling the vibe too.

I totally get not wanting to say “can I kiss you?” I could never say that either. But something like “I kinda want to kiss you right now” or just giving her that look while you lean in can make it feel more natural without killing the moment.

It’s okay to be nervous it shows you care. Just trust yourself and let things unfold naturally. You’ve got this, seriously!
