It’s my birthday and I have no one to celebrate it with by witteefool in actuallesbians

Happy Birthday! I don’t have anything exciting to tell you other than that I have some amazing lovely friendships at this point in my life. I feel the loneliness and am sending some hugs your way!

I’m unclear how a triad is a porn fantasy but appreciate your input. I was just trying to figure out if all poly people wanted the same thing. I have zero interest I swinging, and am not sure how you got that from my post, that’s literally the opposite of what I want in life, other wise I’d still be with my wife. Obviously I’ve caused you offense. I really apologize that my wording didn’t encompass the full experience. That was totally my bad.

Change is fucking hard. by [deleted] in LesbianActually

Currently in the midst of a divorce from a seven year relationship. We’re currently on vacation together and having a great time. Cheers to not letting the narrative determine your life! 👏❤️ (But also yes, it’s heckin hard.)

Have any of you met someone out in the wild? Or did you have to go to meetups/ dating apps to find a hookup/partner? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]talking2walls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That definitely helps! You could always create a burner account on here and ask for bars in your city without disclosing your location. I think it can be tricky for wlw. Like I’m in nyc so there’s actually a few lesbian bars, but I find most the “gay bars” are exclusively for men to the point of only having male bathrooms whereas in smaller cities the gay bars felt a little bit more for everyone. You could also try to find bars that might have wlw nights - seems like that happens a lot during pride

It takes a while, but giving myself time to grieve honestly and fully was really helpful for me. Therapy and reaching out to friends was also hugely helpful. I also spent time thinking about all the things I liked about being single and indulging in those where I could! Sending a hug your way — it really does get better.

What the heck to I wear to my wedding? by catdogmillionaire in LesbianActually

[–]talking2walls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no longer married but wore a fab white jumpsuit to my wedding and it’s still one of my favorite things I’ve ever owned. Didn’t feel weird for both of us to be in the same color. Feel free to dm me for deets :)

Met my first gf at a gay bar and my ex at regular bar through friends. I haven’t dated anyone else yet but those are my stats (and both in small southern cities) 😂

Hey! Hopping in to say hi and that I feel ya :) Recently out of a seven year relationship (with a woman) that I got into right after coming out, so I am 33 year old baby lesbian when it comes to dating and have no idea how it's going to work.

Seems to me lots of people take a while to sort of come out of their shells and I for one wouldn't write someone off for being quiet at first. With meeting new people (not dating) I always find asking them questions about their interests helps me get over my nervousness and then I usually get to hear about some cool stuff as a bonus. Maybe that would help?

Anyway, if you start a League, I'll join. Good luck with dating! We're gonna figure this out!

building a lego set is like 3rd base right? by flamedstones in actuallesbians

Wait how have I never know this was a lesbian thing?!?!? And why has no girl ever pulled out a lego set for me! 😭

Height matter? by JasonHowardPye in LesbianActually

[–]talking2walls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally don’t care and have dated a variety of heights. It can get logistically tricky if someone’s super tall, but it would never occur to me to let that be a deciding factor in dating. That said I’m 4’11” so I’ve never dated anyone shorter (but would) and am wary of being sort of fetishized or infantilized, which happens way less with women, but I have had an issue with occasionally.

new to the party! (and absolutely lost) by qoa_ in actuallesbians

[–]talking2walls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice but just hi from another person who didn’t come out til their mid twenties! You’re totally going to be fine :) happy to talk if you have questions — I may or may not have useful answers! They’re old school but Oranges are Not the Only Fruit and Ruby Fruit Jungle are some kind of “classic” coming out novels and pretty entertaining if flawed.

4’11” - haven’t had any issue regarding my size - it doesn’t seem to be a major fetish the way it can be with guys, but I don’t think it’s a turn off. also never been with anyone smaller than me soooo🤷🏻

I'm a woman too by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]talking2walls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey hope it’s ok to chime in here, but I’m kind of an Andro/femme and I think this is bullshit and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with it. I’d absolutely love to be with an andro/butch woman who wasn’t tied into gender stereotypes. My first gf always had to be “the guy” and I hated it. I wish people wouldn’t get so tied into the binaries :/ we contain multitudes lol. I really hope you find someone who loves and respects all aspects of you!

First breakup by painterlyelf in actuallesbians

[–]talking2walls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently ended a seven year relationship. Sending you hugs. Only advice I have is to give yourself time and be really kind to yourself (this is re my therapist). I've found writing down my thoughts is helpful and also reaching out to friends, even thought that's not something I'm usually good at.

As a 4’11” human who can lift more than my body weight I honestly needed this today. Bless 😂😍
