1. Youâve definitely experienced the crippling disappointment that comes from having a crush on a straight girl.
2. At some point, someone has said to you, âYouâre a lesbian? But youâre so pretty!â
3. If youâre femme, theyâll be like, âWow! You donât even have a lesbian haircut!â
4. And if youâre dating a girl who is also a femme, you have to deal with the whole âgal palâ misconception.
5. Sometimes you feel like thereâs a very small supply of lesbians, to the point where every queer girl you meet has dated another girl you know.
6. And your Tinder has run out of fresh girls.
7. You know the struggle that comes with trying to flirt with someone you're pretty sure is gay.
8. Because you want it to seem like youâre flirting, not just complimenting them in a normal, friendship sorta way.
9. So youâre like, âShould I act more âgayâ so they know?â, despite knowing thatâs total bs.
10. And youâve also faced the âDo I want to look like her or do I want to have sex with her?â dilemma.
It's cool that lesbian chic is in bc I can buy all these flannels, but now I can't tell if ya girl is gay or just trendy. It's anarchy.
11. Youâve had at least one girl say to you how easy dating other girls must be.
12. And you donât even know where to begin with that one.
13. Though there are definitely upsides. Like doubling your wardrobe once you start dating a girl whoâs the same size as you.
14. You have a LOT of things to say about lesbian representation in the media.
15. But when there IS a cute queer couple on TV, you become 100% obsessed.
16. That is, until one of them dies.
17. Which means there are a lot of TV character deaths youâll never get over.
18. (Not including Jenny.)
19. Truly, thereâs nothing worse than a guy trying to tell you he can âturn you straightâ.
20. Or guys seeing you when youâre out with your girlfriend and offering their services for a threesome.
21. And then getting confused when you say no.
22. People seem to think that lesbian relationships are just all sex all the time, but that couldnât be further from the truth.
23. WellâŠexcept for the first few months of the relationship.
24. You've also had to field some tricky questions about âlogisticsâ.
25. And youâre perplexed at how difficult it is for straight people to understand the mechanics behind scissoring.
26. Also, there seems to be some kind of misconception that one of you has to be the âguyâ in the relationship.
27. Seeing another lesbian out and about in public is SO EXCITING â itâs like when dogs meet other dogs on the street.
"I don't care that you're gay just don't be so in my face about it" Me:
28. If youâre single, your friends always try to match you up with any and every other lesbian they know.
29. Youâve been accused of trying to recruit straight girls to your team.
30. People assume that you must have been hurt by some guy, and therefore must hate all men.
31. And people also assume that you have seen every season of The L Word and love Tegan and Sara.
32. Which is probably true, but whatever.
33. Youâve gotten really used to always having short nails.
34. You always make fun of the whole U-Haul stereotypeâŠ
35. ...but you canât deny thereâs a little truth to it.
