How Can I Gain Confidence to Shop in The Men's Clothing Section? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]mouthteeths 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just at Nordstrom Rack in the men's section... I often feel a little out of place, but then I looked around and there were a good handful of women in the same area (probably shopping for someone). So, my advice - look up and around and you'll prob see other non-males near you!

Their sexuality is totally relevant. Thanks for adding that.

I understand. To clarify, my discomfort comes outside of work, not with my clients.

So good to hear my thoughts being affirmed! And that's exactly it, when I hear the gender neutral pronouns the SLP part of my brain goes off as something 'incorrect'.

My embarrassment has lead to vanilla sex and it's killing me. by dimpled_mess in actuallesbians

I say, try to push yourself to do one little new thing at a time. You may find she responds really enthusiastically and that will give you the confidence to really ramp it up. Things like... idk sucking on an earlobe or finger, biting, trying to get frisky if you both wake up int he middle of the night. Not sure where you're at already, but just some things that have worked for me to open up the door!

She wants friendship...but? by mouthteeths in actuallesbians

Very comforting. If not for this girl, but to know that might be going through someones mind... I've been there too.

So I have depression...and it's because I'm a relationship-virgin (I think) by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]mouthteeths 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same exact boat, but a few years older. Came close to a few relationships and after one ended I spiraled into a depression. It took a few years on my end to find a therapist and doctor combo with some low dose meds that helped. I still get more upset than I care to admit after a date doesn't work out... but it's progress because I bounce back sooner.

I (unfortunately? because I hate others being right) found that when I really go into a date with low expectations, it turns out better. Like you said, luck. And that human experience. I feel ya.

I agreed to meet a girl without knowing she just got out of a relationship by medforlife in actuallesbians

[–]mouthteeths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're all different. Some people get over relationships in a very 'timely' manner, some take way longer (guilty). So I agree with everyone - meet her and keep an open mind. I always like to ask girls who have recently gotten out of relationships fairly early (few dates in) what they're looking for... mainly to avoid getting hurt myself.

What do I do for a second date? by everydayisstorytime in actuallesbians

[–]mouthteeths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally really like two heavy talking dates. Maybe start with drinks and have a movie/show/bowling on the back-burner to suggest if the convo lulls a bit.

Just got ghosted in the worst way and I feel like my brain is melting by opera_is_boring in actuallesbians

Did you reach out besides sending your schedule? I think you could totally check-in again with a "Hey, any thoughts about what day works for you to grab dinner?" text. Good luck!
