Help Finding Other Lesbians? :,(
Hi! I’m 18 and openly gay. However, now that I’m an adult and not at an arts school anymore (where there were plenty of LGBT+ peeps), I don’t know where to find other people like me. I wish I had more LGBT people to talk to, especially lesbians. I’m looking for a relationship, and I am having so much trouble finding lesbians (bisexuals, etc) in person. I don’t know which dating sites are safe and LGBT-affirming. Any suggestions? I’m also okay with online friends who are around my age, anyone want to be friends?
Hello @MikalaC234
Depending on where you live, there might be LGBT meetups in your area. If you are interested in dating, there are many wlw dating apps on the AppStore. Just remember to stay safe if you pursue this <3
Hopefully this doesn't sound creepy lol but I'll be friends! I'm 19 and a lesbian and I feel like I have the same problem.

Im also 18 and willing to be friends :)
definitely look for clubs or maybe online?
I am older than you and I have the same issue as you. It could get very lonely but it helps to know that you are not alone. At least you have more time to meet more lesbians like us
Hey,, i am 18 and from india(kashmir) I've been facing the same issue if there's anyone who wants to be my friend or in a relationship can dm.
Yes it does get harder when you are out of school. People tend to be more open about their sexuality when they are in school. At work they hide it more. In my experience dating sites are a complete waste of time. They SHOULD work but the people on them are too bashful and fearful to start anything. That has been my experience. Can't offer a solution because I have the same problem and will probably go back in the closet again - which you will not want to do, not yet anyway.
@MikalaC234 i think a great way of finding LGBT+ friends is by using online chat forums. (also I'm going to art school next year)
@MikalaC234 I'm a lesbian you found me
