Nice girl having a hard time in the lesbian dating scene

[Anonymous]

I've always been described as a nice, sweet, and adorable(which sounds like a pet). I'm decently attractive and have a stable job. But I've had the worst time dating since college(when I came out). I'm now looking to settle down and it seems like nothing has changed. I have a pretty decent friend group. I've asked for their feedback and besides the fact that I'm introverted, it's oh you probably just haven't found the right one yet. I've ran out of suggestions on places to meet other women, HRC, bars, through friends, and of course online dating. I've even expanded my age range of women to date, but nothing. What can I do?

As a fellow lesbian in her mid twenties I can commiserate if not offer much advice. You're being proactive and trying most traditional channels which should be commended. Maybe try joining some new hobbies (LGBT related or not) to see if you meet any new people? As much as anything I wanted to say you're not alone and it might just be that you haven't met the right woman yet. I really do think that lesbian dating is much more challenging than dating is for straight people so don't take it to heart or think there's something wrong with you if your straight friends seem to be having an easier time.

It's nice to know that someone understands how I feel. I will try some new hobbies and other avenues of meeting people. Hopefully it all ends well!

See, most girls are socialized to be shy. In the straight world, it's a huge advantage, dudes eat that up. They love it.

In the lesbian world, you've got to try to be outgoing, more take charge. Confident and unafraid to approach.

I agree dating apps are a great way to meet people
