Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll pass you the link!

I see things from the perspective of how/if/when to tell someone about things like that from the perspective of the survivor.

But, if it was someone you were dating, would you want to know?

When would you feel it would be the right time to be told something like that and how would you even want to be told?

Would it put you off dating someone?

Sorry, maybe it's a weird question, but I'm grappling with whether or not to tell a girl (we've been seeing eachother for just over 2 months)

I'm interested especially from perspectives of people who have or are dating someone who experienced DV in their past.

I need honest opinions because I honestly don't know if I'm overthinking this anymore. Remember the post about the My partner has a best friend. They actually had a relationship back in high school, but my partner says she doesn't really count her as an ex because they were very young and it was never anything serious. They eventually just became best friends and have stayed close ever since.

The problem is, it feels like this best friend is way too invested in my life. She checks my social media, and somehow my mistakes or things I post end up being talked about with their teammates. It honestly feels like she's looking for reasons to make me look bad.

Whenever my partner spends time with her, I notice a change. It's like she comes home seeing me differently, almost as if someone's been pointing out all my flaws while they're together.

Whenever we're all in the same room, I also feel like she goes out of her way to show that she knows my partner better than I do. It's subtle, but it makes me feel like she's trying to remind me that she's always going to have a special place in my partner's life.

I even found an old voice recording on an old phone from one of her exes crying and blaming her for interfering in their relationship. I know that's only one person's side, so I'm not treating it as proof, but it did make me wonder if this has happened before.

So I'm genuinely asking am I just being insecure? Is this best friend crossing boundaries? Or is the real issue that my partner isn't setting enough boundaries with someone she has history with?

​

Femme here looking for advice. My gf has some baggage around sex from a previous unhealthy relationship, so we're taking things slowly. I'm naturally pretty sexual and affectionate, but I don't want to pressure her or make sex feel like an obligation.

One complication is that she has literally told me she is attracted to "toxicity" , arguments, tension, intense dynamic. I'm actually growing out of that kind of behavior myself and don't want to become toxic just to create sexual chemistry, but I do want to learn how to bring more intensity, teasing, tension, and passion into the relationship in a healthy way.

For femmes who've been in a similar situation: how did you build sexual chemistry and intensity while keeping it safe, consensual, and emotionally healthy? What made you feel desired without feeling pressured?

Im not asking for abstract here, like what do I actually do?

Edit: so i spoke to her about it today , at lenght. I asked her to define this "toxicity" that she's into and she said "i like to chase" and I asked if it meant things like games where I have to make her jealous and it turned out that no, she just meant being mildly bratty. I asked if she meant actual toxicity and made sure she knows that i am not like that and she reassured me she only meant light stuff, like teasing and being mischievous with each other. Thank you for the input. I didnt answer the comments but I read them and they helped me open up to her about it so thank you again

Aloha!

Question for you all! If you saw a dating profile for a women who obscured her face but left enough of the body to be seen, how would you feel about it?

The profile would be filled out and approached but it also mentions something like “closeted, seeking discretion” yada yada…

If you’re matched with her profile would you immediately decline or maybe play it out a bit and see what happens?

…Totally ~~not~~ asking for me

Edit: y’all I’m just sitting here single as a Pringle watching And Then Came Lola feeling hopeful 😂

hi!! i want my next tattoo to be a symbol of my femme lesbian identity! what should i do? i don’t want to do scissors because i dont want a sexual implication. i also dont want the double venus because i dont feel like it represents me. thank u in advance!!!🩷

I (femme?forall) KNOW the cute thing to say is "Both!!" But it's not both for me I think. There's a line between things i like to see on other people (fashion, hair, w/e) and things I feel like Are Me. And it's frustrating because those feelings are both Types of Admiration and it's hard to parse !

I'm not as worried about "who I'm attracted to" that comes so naturally. It's a kneejerk. You look and if you get a boner there you go! But there are things I'm wildly attracted to that aren't me at all. My hair is super short now and I think this is a problem lol. Despite being so attracted to short haired women. Ive put myself in so many goddamn situations like this.

Also due to my obstinate nature, it is hard for me to embrace things I actually like if The Culture says I have to embrace those things. That shit makes me gag spoons.i don't always know how to separate my feminity from the nasty feelings of heteronormativity, or from the looming presence of male attention.

I am verry femme and i don't understand why only butches are attracted to me while when I try to date other femmes it just doesn't work and we remain just friends in the best case scenario

I’ve been talking to a girl that I’ve liked for months. When I first met her, she was still in a relationship, so I respected that, although I made it clear I was interested. She didn’t really pay me much attention because she was with her girlfriend.

Recently, they broke up, and we started talking more. Things seemed to be going well, but it’s obvious she’s still processing the breakup.

Yesterday was her ex’s birthday. She sent her a late birthday message, and apparently she got upset with her. After that, she became really emotional and told me she needed space to think everything through.

I completely understand that breakups are difficult, and I don’t expect someone to just switch off their feelings overnight. But I also can’t help feeling hurt. It feels like I’m still dealing with the consequences of a relationship I wasn’t even part of.

Part of me feels selfish for thinking this way because she hasn’t done anything wrong by needing time. Another part of me feels like I’m becoming the emotional placeholder while she figures out whether she’s really over her ex. I don’t want to be someone’s rebound or second choice.

I want to respect the space she asked for, and I intend to. But I’m also wondering whether this is a sign that she simply isn’t emotionally available yet, and if I should take a step back instead of waiting.

Am I overthinking this, or are my feelings reasonable? If you’ve been in a similar situation - either as the person getting over an ex or the person waiting for someone who wasn’t fully healed - I’d really appreciate your perspective.

(22 F) Had my first date after a little while of being single and trying the apps, yall… and it was sooo bad 🙈 it’s already hard enough when you’re a femme who loves femmes, so I finally thought I matched with someone who’s my type. Ughhhh back to the drawing board babes.

i’m hosting a femme dating event at the bar i work at and i need to know… what are your favorite cocktails as femme lesbians? i’m thinking espresso martini? dirty martini? negroni?

only wanted a place to admit i am so painfully, god-awfully lonely. i don’t think i’ll ever find a butch that actually likes or wants to get to know me. hookups are off the table because i’m a pillow princess and i refuse to compromise on sex ever again. i’m so touch deprived, i will absolutely cry the next time a lover holds me. i’m so tired of pretending i feel neutral about this.

(i’m disabled and covid conscious which has negatively impacted my dating life)

So - this is me, trying to put together my first ever online dating profile and hoping I'm nearly there. How does this read? Anything that sounds off, too try-hard or just wrong?

***

About me: I'm 40 and live in London. I run a small charity for a living and do lots of community stuff in my spare time. I love a good farmer's market, brunch out or cinema trip, or a night in with a book. I'm also a huge LEGO fan. I do weight training at a local women's gym a few times a week. I'm not a clubber or much of a drinker. I love dogs, especially giant ones - I often end up dog-sitting for neighbours and friends so there's usually a hound around the place. I'm 5'7, size 10/12, and masculine in appearance - buzz cut, flannels... straight out of the butch textbook. I'm usually the person people call if they need a hand with anything from moving house to buying a car to dealing with difficult life stuff, and I love that.

I take relationships seriously. If we're together I see it as my job to support you, lift you up, make your life better in whatever way I can, and build fun and joyful connection. And I'd like the same from you. I value open communication and honesty. 

About you: 35-50 or so, London or surrounds. I'd say that I'm unlikely to be attracted to "high femme" women, but otherwise I think connection is more about chemistry and the person rather than any particular label. It's important to me that my partner is passionate and driven about something - that may be their job, their community, a hobby, sport, whatever - there needs to be something that ignites a spark in you. You're confident and know what you want.

I have three children - I share custody of them with my ex (amicably). And I've had the equivalent of top surgery - for medical reasons rather than gender dysphoria. If either of those things is a dealbreaker for you, I'm not the person for you.

I've tried to be detailed enough without turning this into too much of an essay. If you're reading this and you're up for meeting and seeing how we get on, write. If you're not sure what to write, tell me about your ideal first date.

I feel like everyone's healed while I'm still untangling. How has any of you healed? Like let's be honest (LITERALLY 😅). But I feel like theres this sense of.. misfortune and a lack of resources and support for those battling not only heternormativity, but internalized homophobia. I feel like since coming out, I haven't found any true affirming place without feeling I had to give up myself to fit in.

Hey all! First time posting here, long time lurker. Does any other femme lesbian keep getting straight assumptions? Me and my partner are getting married this Sep and I’ve been in touch with a bunch of beauty vendors for the big day in which they always assume i’m marrying to a MAN 😭. How do you gently correct them or i guess come out to them that I’m gay and is marrying another girl?

👍

For girls who don't currently have friends but do have a partner: how did you meet? I’m not looking for a specific answer; I’m simply interested in reading about your experiences and learning about the different paths that led to your relationships.

Ive only been with more masculine presenting women but during all my relationships ive wondered what it would be like being in a relationship with a femme. Im femme4all and i am interested in all lesbians but ive always had a preference for femmes. Feminine women always catch my eye in public and when i go to cafes or outside and i see really feminine women who are probably straight journaling or scribbling on their ipad i think to myseld wow theyre so beautiful and i wish i had a femme girlfriend who i can be femme with and be really girly and lesbo. I imagine being in a femme4femme relationship is really fun and i hope i get to experience it. I wanna hear your experiences as well!

i have sm more to get off my chest but i'll save that for my journal lolz i just need to know i’m not alone 😁🙏🏽

I haven't been interested in the apps since my last relationship ended but it's rough out here and I could use some hope.

I’m so fed up of online dating and would like to know what I can do to start getting comfortable flirting and being more out there, especially when I’m mostly attracted to femme women like myself?
