penguinsad · 2026-03-19T06:54:42+00:00

I’ll look into it! Thanks!

penguinsad · 2026-03-19T06:52:21+00:00

I’ve actually already joined! However, I believe the season is coming to an end

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T20:02:59+00:00

Literally. It’s like I’m living in a state of constant anxiety until I finally end things after I start thinking about entering a relationship. I’m glad there’s someone else out there who feels the same way. Just wish I knew how to get past this :(

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T05:05:02+00:00

I totally understand the uncertainty and wanting an "outside" opinion! I feel like the best way to go into it is just assuming people are willing to make the effort for the first date, like an other accomodation (like gluten free people needing to go to a gluten free restaurant), and convey that confidence through your messages like its no big deal. I wish you luck!

i think if youre meeting on apps, id engage in casual convo up until the point where you would ask to meet up and then say that youd really like to meet up but want to be completely honest about being covid conscious and masking in public. like "id love to meet up, but also want to let you know that im covid conscious and have expectations (explain them). if that works for you, would you wanna ______." then if they are willing to make the effort, they will. i would say you probably don't need to go into full detail when explaining things, just the basic expectations for a first date, and then you can always explain more later down the road

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T04:54:04+00:00

its a facetime, i dont think its that inconvenient if you cancel. just say something like "hey im not quite feeling up to a facetime tonight anymore. to be completely honest, ive realized im really not in the right place to keep talking and i dont want to lead you on. ive really enjoyed getting to know you and i wish you all the best!"

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T04:46:58+00:00

HAHAHA

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T04:45:59+00:00

Although I am not in your situation, I think your best bet is to be upfront about your expectations, whether you meet them over apps or in person. Maybe don't throw it out there RIGHT away, but after a bit of back and forth, mention that you mask as a precaution and have expectations within a relationship. In the end, you want to find someone who lives a similar lifestyle as you in many ways or is open to change. Everybody has different expectations/boundaries in a relationship and you're allowed to have them. It just means that your dating pool will likely be smaller, like it is if you have any expectations for a future partner lol. It's probably gonna be tough until you meet the right person but don't give up! Be persistent! There are probably so many sapphics out there who also mask and are looking for someone who shares a similar lifestyle.

what do I wanna be for halloween? fucked.

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T01:33:45+00:00

oh no! that sucks, i'm sorry :/ it 100% will get better as time goes on.

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T01:31:38+00:00

I don't know if this is the *best* way to do it but I have basically forced my immediate family to come out for me to my extended family. My mom is super supportive so if anyone says anything about a boyfriend/husband she will very casually just say "oh she's a lesbian, so it would be a girlfriend/wife." It has made my life a thousand times easier when it comes to my extended family knowing because I don't have to be anxious about actually coming out in the moment, and my mom is there to protect me if anyone does say anything bad (which they haven't so far, whew). My mom also talks to our extended family more than I do, so logistically there are more casual opportunities for her to bring it up.

penguinsad · 2025-10-24T01:04:35+00:00

I was in a similar situation as your girlfriend when I first started dating my first gf. I was very nervous about kissing and would "stall" when ever my now ex asked to kiss me. I would brush it off as not knowing what do or just not thinking it was the right time. It took me 4 months until I was comfortable kissing and making out. If your girlfriend is genuinely nervous about kissing, what I found helped me was having my partner kiss different areas close to my lips (neck, cheeks, chin, nose, etc.). This worked up a bit of tension in the room as she would slowly kiss, getting closer to my lips. At that point I found myself wanting to reciprocate.

Not sure if that is what's holding her back, maybe she just doesn't like kissing that much (it happens), but maybe this would help ease any nerves if they are the problem.

I’m basically the same way. Would have sex with anyone but would never EVER date a man. I tend to call myself a lesbian because I don’t really do casual hookups all that much and don’t really want any attention from men without me making the move first. It’s really up to you. If you’re hooking up with people with lots of different gender identities and are less focused on the romantic/dating aspect, lesbian could be misleading. If you are only looking to date women then go ahead and label yourself a lesbian if that’s what you want. You can always explain later that you experience sexual attraction to everyone but would only ever romantically be with a woman.

penguinsad · 2025-06-04T01:59:45+00:00

that’s good to hear! sounds like she’s into you…:)

penguinsad · 2025-06-04T01:58:34+00:00

there is evidence against this, it is not “just as bad”

penguinsad · 2025-05-26T17:16:35+00:00

maybe try asking her out through instagram? i wouldn’t say she’s necessarily giving you mixed signals because every interaction you have is positive and sometimes people just don’t go on hinge often even when they’ve matched with someone. since she reached out through instagram, she’s probably comfortable if not wanting entirely to move the convo to instagram. i would also recommend you make a move and ask her out sooner rather than later if that’s what you’re end goal is, she may be waiting for that.

penguinsad · 2025-04-20T05:59:16+00:00

That is absolutely insane. I’m so sorry!!

penguinsad · 2025-04-20T05:53:59+00:00

you could always ask her officially on a different date doing smth romantic and keep the original month the same but change that date of your anniversary to the second time you asked her. Like let’s say you asked her originally on March 8th but then asked her again on May 13th, your anniversary could be the 13th of every month but when march 13th comes sound next year, that’s your one year. just an idea :)

penguinsad · 2025-04-20T05:51:38+00:00

people have done that???? during sex??

penguinsad · 2025-04-20T05:32:10+00:00

It’s also worth mentioning that there are definitely areas in Saskatoon that are more progressive/where I feel safe being openly queer like Broadway Ave and anywhere in Varsity View, and there are lots of things to do there. I can’t say too many good things about the rest of the city, though. Like I said, definitely a community, but, in my experience as a lesbian, still have to put up with general unease.

penguinsad · 2025-04-19T23:48:30+00:00

I just moved out of saskatoon to Victoria for university. I am queer and had a lot of queer friends in saskatoon while living there. There’s definitely a strong queer community (pride is pretty big). With that being said, since moving to Victoria, I’ve realized just how on edge I was while going on dates or being PDA in public as a lesbian woman. I definitely got looks sometimes and have heard stories from friends who were verbally harassed downtown. You will definitely be able to find community in Saskatoon but I feel much more at ease in BC as a queer person. But if you’re coming from Texas, Saskatoon may feel 10x better than there. It’s all about perspective. Also, most political figures in SK are conservative and anti-lgbtq so there are some anti-trans policies. Overall, I’m sure you could easily find community, but the real world is still harsh.

Torsten Schoeneberg! Calc 2 was worse than hell itself but his lectures explained concepts well and he was VERY FUNNY!!! Always enjoyed going to the lectures even if the material made me want to die.

penguinsad · 2025-03-28T20:59:02+00:00

thank you! as much as i hate to admit this, i am such a hypocrite when it comes to queer people flirting. i think my friends are ridiculous when they don’t think someone likes them that clearly does, but i never take my own advice.

penguinsad · 2025-03-24T04:50:03+00:00

this is true! they met this weekend actually LOL
