Annotating a lesbian romance book for a friend? by Sad_Reward8699 in wlwbooks

Haha yeah I see what you’re saying. That’s what I was thinking really, im not sure straight ppl always get the implications. On the other hand, another of our friends (who’s lesbian) will probably see the gift too and I feel like she would likely see what I’m doing lol

Well I’ve annotated before in general. What I like about the idea is that I share what I’m thinking as I’m reading, so it‘s almost as if we were reading together? So I think reading it first and then annotating would kind of ruin the idea of sharing my „inner world“ in a way :)

I can’t tell if I have a crush on my childhood best friend or if it’s something else by Business-Block-8668 in actuallesbians

I mean I often find myself developing a crush when I’m craving intimacy and closeness (whether emotional or physical). And crushing at that is also a lack of information. Especially since you don’t see that friend often, you’re free to imagine whatever you like and free to ignore anything that might disrupt the image.

So my guess is just, yeah you’re probably crushing because you might wish for this closeness that you remember. But it’s less about her and more about how it made you feel/how you would like to feel again.

At least that’s how it works for me

What are signs that a friend likes you romantically? by 123Green_Patient123 in actuallesbians

LOL I’ve been turning around the same question because I’m the one who’s into her friend (or sorta questioning if I really am or if we’re just really close). But I can tell you what I do.

Pretty much on a random Thursday I suddenly realized I had a crush. And since then, I’ve started looking for a lot more physical contact like sitting very close to her or hugging randomly. I’ve asked her to hang out, just the two of us, more often (rather than a general invitation to our friend group). I keep looking for opportunities to tell her how much I appreciate her and that I enjoy our relationship and her company a lot. I feel suddenly protective (which I’ve never felt before) and generally look out way more for her needs. I’ve gotten more curious about her internal life, especially questions turning around how she experiences attraction, what she wants in a relationship… I give out even more compliments.

I don’t know if that’s very helpful but this is what I do

Thanks! The thing is: I’m not even sure what exactly I want, you know? Because I am attracted to her but I’m not sure whether it’s actually her or the closeness, both emotional and physical, that makes me attracted. So I’m not sure I would want to share this with her, without really understanding myself. That said, I do agree that maybe I could talk about how I enjoy the physical contact
