Sometimes it’s not easy to tell

We, lesbians, are complex creatures, and if you’re just beginning and freshly out of the closet, or you’re out of a long-term relationship and can’t remember what it’s like to be single, I’ve got the goods for you.

Many of us are awkward when it comes to showing feelings

If you know someone’s a lesbian, and you’re interested, and you think they might be, using a little awkwardness is a good gauge.

I’m more awkward than most, but girls, in general, weren’t groomed to just waltz up to someone and declare their feelings. We were raised that it’s ‘the man’s job’… only, now, there’s no man in the scenario and someone has to make the first move.

To an outsider, it may sound like a girl making awkward jokes, or smiling at the ground during a conversation, but a fellow lesbian would notice this as flirting, and attempting to connect.

We try to be stealthy, most of us, and because we rarely succeed, it can be a dead giveaway.
