										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are plenty of places to meet lesbians, but you don&#8217;t want to just meet anyone &#8211; you want place to meet like-minded lesbians who you&#8217;ll get on with.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re feeling lost, lonely, or otherwise just trying to find your niche in the lesbian world &#8211; don’t worry; we’ve all been there. Statistically, the lesbian community is one of the smallest around—comprising only 1.8% of the American population. That’s less than two women out of every 100!</p>
<p>But don’t let the numbers bring you down. Even if you live in the most rural, conservative area, there are still ways to find other lesbians. You just have to know where to look—and that’s where I come in. If you’re struggling to find your niche, look no further.</p>
<p>Check out one of these 7 places to meet like-minded lesbians below, and you’re on the way to joining a lesbian community of your own.</p>
<h1>Online Meetup Groups</h1>
<p>Where’s a better place to start meeting women than from the comfort of your own home? And it&#8217;s just lesbian dating sites, either &#8211; there are several online communities you can check out that advertise weekly meet-ups that vary from book clubs, wine/beer tastings, hiking &#8211; and some are even lesbian specific.</p>
<p>I personally used <a href="https://www.meetup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meetup.com</a> to join a lesbian hiking group a few years ago. Nearly twenty lesbian (or bisexual) women showed up on a drizzly day to go hiking nature trails. I didn’t even know that many lesbians were in my city, much less liked to hike as much as I do!</p>
<p>It was so successful that now I use it to meet new friends, lesbians in particular, when I move from state to state. So no matter where you are, definitely check it out. There’s a 90% chance that lesbians are having monthly meet-ups all around you, and you didn’t even know it.</p>
<h1><em>Her </em>Lesbian Events</h1>
<p>Although Her started as a dating website, it has added features that allow you to see any lesbian event coming up both near and far. And since Her caters to single lesbians in particular, that means a lot of lesbians are willing to go out and meet new people.</p>
<p>The events range from book clubs to pride parades, and you can even see how many women are interested in attending. All it takes is signing up (for free) and swiping until something appeals to you. Before you know it, you’ll be settling into the perfect niche with a whole new crew of friends.</p>
<h1>Lesbian Bars</h1>
<p>Bars are a great way to meet fun new friends, no matter who you are. Although very few lesbian-only clubs exist today, almost every major city has bars that cater specifically to the gay community.</p>
<p>However, that doesn’t mean only gay men are there. Lesbians often frequent gay clubs or bars because there’s a lessened chance of being approached by a straight man. Sometimes, they even host special lesbian nights that even the most homebody lesbian will put on real pants to go to. If you’re lucky, you may even get a few free drinks and a drag king show.</p>
<h1>Dog Parks</h1>
<p>Women love dogs, point blank. Getting my dog was the best thing I could’ve done for my lesbian self. I probably get 3x as much attention with him than without him &#8211; 100% of which comes from other women.</p>
<p>On top of that, lesbians flock to the dog park like it’s giving away free Birkenstocks. There never fails to be at least one other lesbian there. And more often than not, they’re totally down for setting up some doggy play dates or grabbing coffee.</p>
<p>So if you have a cute dog, or even a scraggly one, try taking him to the dog park. Not only will your pup have a great time, so will you.</p>
<h1>Workplace</h1>
<p>This one is a little trickier. Not everyone can be ‘out’ at work, but the ones who can have a big advantage. As the saying goes, like attracts like.</p>
<p>Say your coworker, Angie, hears that you’re a lesbian. She has a friend, Tina, who is also a lesbian. Angie texts Tina over lunch, and bam! The next thing you know, you’re meeting up with Tina for brunch on Sunday. Putting yourself out there allows for some great connections you may not otherwise have.</p>
<h1>Sports Teams</h1>
<p>It’s not just a stereotype that lesbians love to play sports &#8211; they really, seriously do. I mean, what better way to meet other people than by playing a fun game and grabbing a beer afterwards?</p>
<p>In fact, I joined a rec softball and rugby team in college solely for the fact that soo many lesbians were already playing. I had more lesbian friends then than at any other point in my life.</p>
<p>And if you aren’t great at sports but love having fun with all kinds of different types of people, consider joining your local rec league anyway. Most of the time you don’t even have to be good as long as you commit to showing up to the majority of the games.</p>
<p>Bottom line: No matter how you do it, put yourself out there! There’s no better way to find where you fit in than by actively seeking out a niche. Whether it be online, in person, or by happenstance, there will always a place out there for you.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve ever found yourself logging onto a lesbian dating site just to see a whopping zero messages waiting there, then this is for you! Throughout my years of dating online (for both long- and short-term), I&#8217;ve always had an excess of women to potentially date.</p>
<p>Now, you may be asking why I was on there for so long if I was so successful, but I&#8217;m going to ask you why you think it&#8217;s okay to settle with the first woman who comes along. Hint: it rarely is.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why creating a great profile is so important! You can&#8217;t figure out what you like and what you don&#8217;t like if you never have any women to go out with. So follow these tips, and you may soon find yourself landing more dates than you can count.</p>
<h1> Tip #1: Have a Good Profile Picture</h1>
<p>We&#8217;d all like to think we aren&#8217;t superficial, but it can be hard not judge someone based on their picture when it’s the first thing that pops up on a profile. You know in an instant whether or not you want to message someone just by those three or four pictures, right? Well, surprise! Women are also doing the same to you.</p>
<p>If you find yourself lacking in the message department, make sure you aren’t doing these red flags/ big no-nos that keep women from landing the perfect date:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Group pictures</strong>: No one wants to strain their eyes trying to guess who you are. If you can’t be instantly spotted, then don’t expect a swipe right from many people.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>A picture of you and a friend</strong>: Again, no one is here to date your friend. They’re here for you. A picture of you and one other person can also lead to subconscious comparisons, and that&#8217;s not a trap anyone wants to fall into.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Mirror selfies</strong>: This is 2016. The days of the mirror selfie are long gone, unless you&#8217;re still under 21. That&#8217;s the only pass.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Naked pictures</strong>: If you&#8217;re just looking for a hookup, then okay. You do you! But if you&#8217;re looking to seriously date someone, women typically don&#8217;t see naked profile pictures as a potential long-term mate. It’s just (stereotypically) not the same kind of turn on for us as it is for heterosexual men.</li>
</ul>
<p>And then there are some pictures that are guaranteed to get you more profile hits. Try posting a photo of one of these and watch the messages come rolling in:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>You and your dog (or cat)</strong>: Dogs are cute. Cats are cute. People who love dogs and cats are automatically cute. It&#8217;s also a great conversation starter. Need I say more?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>You and your hobby</strong>: It doesn&#8217;t matter if your hobby is yoga or woodworking, it instantly shows insight to you as a person. It allows potential dates to make a connection from 2-D picture to real life, and that&#8217;s one of the most important things about online dating.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>An unaltered selfie/close-up</strong>: This means no snapchat filters, no heavy editing. No one wants to be tricked or guess what you really look like. Just be yourself, be confident, and the messages will come.</li>
</ul>
<h1>Tip #2: Fix the ‘About Me’ Section</h1>
<p>So she&#8217;s seen your picture and she&#8217;s interested. She clicks on your profile to read more about you and&#8230; there&#8217;s nothing. Or all you’ve written is &#8220;message me for more&#8221; which is almost just as bad. She clicks off your profile and never contacts you even though she was initially interested.</p>
<p>Why? If you don&#8217;t take the time to write a little about yourself, it says that you don&#8217;t care or aren&#8217;t taking it seriously. Both are red flags to a potential serious partner.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re stuck about what to write, here are a few go-to tips to try:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Humor</strong>: I have a pretty dry, matter-of-fact type of humor. When I wrote my profile, I made sure to include that as much as possible. It ended up being the #1 thing women messaged me about. “I love your profile. It was so funny!” or “This was the best profile I’ve read. It kept my attention the whole time.” Adding humor, whether it be puns or sarcasm, almost automatically allows for messages that you may not otherwise receive.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Interests</strong>: I’m not going to say much about this one because it’s pretty straightforward. Include 2-3 things you like to do on your profile so women can a.) get to know you and b.) have a conversation starter if they want to message you. If you’re a total movie guru, talk about your favorite genres. If you love being outdoors, talk about how you love kayaking. Being a little more specific about yourself will go a long way with an online profile.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>A negative</strong>: Yes, that’s right. Include a negative on your profile! The trick is to include a negative that isn’t really a negative thing to the people you want to date. For example, my negatives were that I loved puns and liked to stay at home more than go out. I don’t think those are bad things, and the people I wanted to date didn’t either. But the people who liked to party/go out rarely messaged me because they knew I wasn’t interested. Including this on your profile is an automatic filter for finding the women who are right for you.</li>
</ul>
<h1>Tip #3: Be Open</h1>
<p>This isn’t so much of a tip as it is advice. Online dating makes being picky even easier since it’s just a catalog of girls listing their good and bad qualities or accomplishments. You can just click through one to the next to the next for literally hours. It’s easy to do, but don’t fall in the trap of just searching for your “type.”</p>
<p>There were entirely too many profiles out there that mentioned the types of women they didn’t like. You know, the “if you don’t have long hair, don’t message me” thrown in at the very bottom of the profile. Not only does that completely take away all women with short hair, but it also dissuades women like myself who think it’s entirely bogus to do that. It screams I’m judgmental and superficial and that is not the way to land a date online.</p>
<p>Don’t sabotage your efforts by doing this! And who knows, maybe someone will message you who isn’t your type but you’ll fall head over heels anyway because you were open to it. I did, and now I’m planning an engagement to the unpredicted girl of my dreams.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout college and my other formative years, I wholly believed there was nothing different about dating a bisexual versus a lesbian. I dated them, loved them, and even planned a future with some. We had a great time, just like any other lady-loving-lady relationship.</p>
<p>And then my most serious girlfriend (who happened to be bisexual) left me. It <em>stung.</em> Shortly after that, I heard she started dating a mediocre-looking man. They bought a house together and got engaged within months. <em>Double sting</em>.</p>
<p>In fact, it stung so hard that I, like many lesbians, decided to ban dating bisexual women altogether.</p>
<p>It didn’t take long before I realized it was a pretty crappy move on my part. I was treating other women the same way that I didn’t want to be treated by the straight population, with an upturned nose and a no way. I also realized that there were some pretty amazing women out there that I wasn’t even giving a chance, all because of my ill-founded insecurities.</p>
<p>I’m more than over it now (and happily engaged to a bisexual woman), but I know many lesbians are still pretty wary when it comes down to it. So I’ve compiled a list of the three biggest concerns many women have about dating bisexuals, and why they shouldn’t be concerns at all.</p>
<h1>Bisexual women are faking it</h1>
<p><strong>The concern</strong>: Bisexuals are just women who are confused about what they want or just want to try something new. Or need attention. Or threesomes to make their boyfriend happy. Or…well, you get the picture.</p>
<p><strong>The truth</strong>: Bisexuals are just… bisexuals. Later in life they may realize they only like girls and come out as lesbian. Alternately, they may realize they only like men. It’s rare but it happens, just like a straight or gay person can identify as something else later on.</p>
<p>Sexuality is very fluid, and that applies to every single person on this planet. But that doesn’t mean we should pretend bisexuals don’t know what (or who) they want just because they like two genders. Seriously. Who would purposely make life harder on themselves by coming out as bisexual if they didn’t have to? No one, that’s who.</p>
<p>Especially not when bisexuality is one of the most scrutinized sexualities out there. So all we can do, as lesbians, is realize that bisexuality is as valid as our own sexuality, and that no one is out there trying to purposely screw us over for shits and giggles.</p>
<h1>Bisexual women have more prospects</h1>
<p><strong>The concern</strong>: Imagine you walk into a restaurant and your hot date spots two empty seats at the bar, so you make yourself comfortable. You compliment her hair and crack a joke about the stools being too tall. She’s smiling, you’re smiling, and…the man beside you is smiling too.</p>
<p>He says hello to your date, and she smiles back &#8211; your heart stops. Is it because she’s friendly, or because she’s into him? Is he more attractive than you? God, why do you suddenly feel so hot and clammy?</p>
<p><strong>The truth</strong>: The dating pool a bisexual can choose from is essentially double that of lesbians, with both male and female-identifying people being fair game. That can be scary!</p>
<p>Most lesbians are used to laughing (or cringing) off advances from male-identified people. So when we’re on a date and a man hits on our bisexual girl, insecurities can flare.</p>
<p>However, it’s so important to take a step back and realize that she’s on the date with you. You are the person she chose to go out with. She likes you, wants to be around you, and probably isn’t thinking about rounding up another person while she’s invested in you. Being bisexual doesn’t automatically make someone a cheater, okay?</p>
<p>You’re the person who caught her attention; not some rando at the bar. Embrace it!</p>
<h1>A bisexual woman will leave me for a…man</h1>
<p><strong>The concern</strong>: A bisexual will eventually leave me for a man and I’ll never recover from such an inhumane betrayal on all of lesbian-kind.</p>
<p><strong>The truth</strong>: As in my case, and I’m sure in many others, the underlying fear here can be somewhat warranted. However, it’s time to take a step back and reassess. For example, if you are in a lesbian-lesbian relationship and your lady breaks things off, you can assume it’s because she isn’t happy with the relationship…right?</p>
<p>I think we can agree that, most of the time, the answer is yes. But it still hurts when she eventually gets with another woman. Jealousy, insecurity, and maybe even disbelief shortly follow. Then you find someone else too and those bad feelings aren’t quite as strong anymore. It happens, and life goes on.</p>
<p>So I challenge you to ask yourself, how is it any different if an ex-girlfriend eventually starts dating a man rather than a woman? Deep down we all know: it isn’t.</p>
<p>She (or you) wasn’t happy, the relationship ended, and now she has a clean slate to pursue whoever she wants to (and so do you). By the time that happens, she’s not thinking about you anymore. There are no comparisons. She isn’t saying, “Oh, my girlfriend didn’t do x, y, and z. I’m so glad I have a man now!” if she starts dating a man.</p>
<p>She probably isn’t thinking, “Sex is so much better with a man. I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with vagina anymore.” And she most definitely isn’t thinking that what she had with you was any less real than what she has with a man. None of that is happening.</p>
<p>There’s no reason to feel self-conscious or inferior. She’s just…moving on and trying to be happy like everyone else. You mattered, your relationship was real, and sometimes things just don’t work out. It’s okay to be upset that she moved on, but it’s never okay to be upset about who she moved on with solely because of her new partner’s gender.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, the lesbian dating rules. There aren&#8217;t as many as you&#8217;d think &#8211; all the usual rules to not be a douchebag apply &#8211; there are some that will tilt the cards in your favor.</p>
<p>Whether you’re just delving into the world of women or if you’re wondering why you keep striking out before even stepping up to bat, look no further! Here are six golden rules to keep you in (and ahead) of the lady-loving game.</p>
<h1>Don’t think of her as your BFF</h1>
<p>At least…not at first. In an ideal world, yes, it is great to have your life partner also be your best friend. However, it takes a lot of work to get to that ideal life balance, and that usually doesn’t happen within a week of meeting someone.</p>
<p>If you treat a potential date like a friend, guess what she’ll treat you like? A friend! So go the extra mile to drop some authentic compliments, get flirty, and let her know that you’re interested. If she feels the same, you’ll be getting those flirty compliments back in no time.</p>
<h1>Ask her out</h1>
<p>No, seriously. Really ask her out.</p>
<p>If you’re finally taking the plunge, take the plunge head-on! Don’t reluctantly type/stutter, “So.. do you want to hang out sometime? Maybe Friday?”</p>
<p>Why? Well, refer back to #1. A hang out is something you do with friends or something that involves a bed and a Netflix subscription. A hang out is not what you do to land a long-term relationship.</p>
<p>If you want to get serious, be serious! Ask her out and make sure there is no room left for guessing. Give a date, a time, and an idea of what you’d like to do &#8211; confidence is key here, ladies.</p>
<h1>Get creative</h1>
<p>One great thing about dating girls &#8211; you are one! You (mostly) know what they do and do not like to do. So when the time comes to decide where to take your potential new honey, think about things that you would be wowed by on a first date.</p>
<p>For example, would you rather go to the bar for another stale Friday Night Bud Lite and hope the conversation doesn’t dwindle, or go try out some cool brews together at the newest local brewery?</p>
<p>A movie theater where you are confined to awkward silence for two hours, or a movie night on the lawn hosted by a local city club? Check high and low for unique events that pop up around town. The effort you put into personalizing this first date will directly correspond to whether or not you land a second one &#8211; trust me.</p>
<h1>Ask questions…</h1>
<p>…And then take time to listen. The number one turn-off to me (and many others, I assure you) is going on a date with another human whom has little to no interest in what I have to say. So if you are really and truly interested in your date, make sure you show her that!</p>
<p>Eliminate all distractions like, gasp, putting your phone completely away during dates (totally possible and totally worth it). When she says something, make eye contact. Respond often and ask questions.</p>
<p>If you get stuck, you could talk about anything from how you still don’t really know who killed Jenny Schecter after all these years to how fly Cate Blanchett looked in Carol. It honestly doesn’t matter what you’re really talking about as long as you make a commitment to be present and responsive. Show that you are interested now, and she’ll still be interested later.</p>
<h1>Don’t be afraid to reach out</h1>
<p>I’ll be the first to say that yes, it’s nerve-wracking to make first contact after a first date. It can be a slippery slope &#8211; don’t wait long enough, and she may think you’re clingy. Wait too long, and she may think you’re disinterested. But I’ll also be the first to say: stop thinking that way!</p>
<p>I have always called my dates within ten minutes after leaving if I wanted a second date…and it works. Saying, “Hey, I just wanted to let you know I had a great time with you tonight. Let me know when you make it home,” shows just how much you enjoyed her company and care about her safety (so you can obviously see her again as soon as possible).</p>
<h1>But &#8211; Take Your Time</h1>
<p>There’s always a point in a young (or older) lesbian’s life where she knows she has potentially met The One<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. If you feel this way after the first date – that’s awesome! But here’s the rub: slow down, slow down, slow down.</p>
<p>This has nothing to do with avoiding the infamous lesbian U-Haul, but rather has everything to do with the human condition.</p>
<p>Just like a building can’t stand without a foundation, neither can a relationship. If you rush past creating a solid basis, then your relationship is going to start sinking in the sticky, sticky mud not too far in the future.</p>
<p>So stop and take a second to breathe in her perfume every once in a while. Build that foundation, grow your love, and never have to worry about planning another first date again.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saying that I wish I was a lesbian can sound silly, even insensitive especially for those who&#8217;ve experienced first hand the challenges that come with being gay but I still have to say, there&#8217;s a lot of us out there who weren&#8217;t born lesbian but sometimes &#8211; quite often &#8211; wish we were.</p>
<p>We all have different reasons why being a lesbian appeals to us. For example, I recently read this amazing article from Thought Catalog, where a young gay man vocalized his reasons on why its better to be a lesbian than a gay man. Most of his reasons were purely emotion-based. But for me, my reasons span the whole spectrum of existence.</p>
<p>For those who don’t know me, I’m a young straight woman (just putting it out there, no need to raise your pitch forks at me) in my early 20s, single and maybe ready to mingle. And as a single woman in her 20s, I am constantly asked the question, “Why are you single?” I can state a lot of reasons why I am single, but here I am thinking how wonderful it would be if I was lesbian.</p>
<p>Here are my 6 reasons why I wish I were a lesbian&#8230;</p>
<h1>Women are Gorgeous</h1>
<p>Yeah, you heard me. Women are gorgeous. Every woman out here, whether they’re thin or thick, tall or petite, fair skinned or tanned. They are all beautiful. And I don’t understand how men could actually take these women for granted.</p>
<p>As a straight woman it upsets me when I see gorgeous confident women, get their legs chopped off and their spines taken away by men who don’t take women seriously. Nope. Lesbians don’t do that. Lesbians know a woman’s worth.</p>
<p>They know and respect women, because they are women. And because they are women, they know that a woman needs to be loved and catered to. But even if they weren’t women, it’s just nice to see people loving others for who they are. And that’s probably one of the benefits of dating a lesbian. They think you’re gorgeous both inside and out.</p>
<h1>Lesbian Redefine the Meaning of Soulmates</h1>
<p>We all heard of the typical man falls in love with woman at first sight. The pieces of the puzzle aligning the way the planets align every thousands of years or so. But have you heard of lesbians dating for life?! And by that I mean, even when they have broken up, they still stick by each other?</p>
<p>Most of my lesbian friends love and respect their significant others so much, that even breaking up with them won’t break the bond they have created.</p>
<p>It seems like far more than straight couples, lesbians are more likely to mate for life and have the best emotional connections out there. Because how many straight couples do you know, stay close friends despite having broken up? It may also be more common that I thought, but I personally think they do not have the same connections as most lesbian couples do.</p>
<p>I am not sure if it’s because lesbians know what its like to be a girl and the importance of keeping close ties to each other, but I don’t think I have seen better connections between partners than I have in the lesbian community. And I wish I had that. And I’m so jealous they do have that.</p>
<p>They can have multiple soul mates but still be able to actually love and respect them even after things didn&#8217;t work out romantically. And I feel like that’s something that’s lacking in our society today.</p>
<h1>Never Ending Clothing Options</h1>
<p>Compared to the first two reasons on why I wish I were a lesbian, this one might seem petty but dammit it’s something I’m sure all girls want. I’d like to assume that we all have those days where we look into our closets and be like, “I don’t have anything to wear!” or the classic, “I don’t have any options in here!”</p>
<p>But never fear my lesbian friends. Have you actually discovered your girlfriend’s wardrobe? If not, you are missing out on half of your life. As a straight woman who has enough clothes, I still don’t have the options that lesbians have when they date someone. The beautiful closet heaven.</p>
<p>Sure some lesbian couples don’t have the same styles, but you have to admit, how many times do women, straight, lesbian or bi, have looked into their closet and needed something they’re sure they won’t need again after that one occasion?</p>
<p>Most of the times, lesbians and bis have the option to actually borrow from their girlfriends. Nope, not for me. If I have to be in a business meeting the morning crashing at a boyfriend&#8217;s, and have only his set of clothes to choose from, I’m definitely screwed.</p>
<p>How about borrowing from a friend or maybe your sister? Any girl who asks that probably doesn’t know the answer to this question. Anything borrowed from a friend or a sister means that that shirt would be gone forever. So yes, I do want to become a lesbian for their closet. Sue me.</p>
<h1>“I Bet You’re On Your Period, Huh?”</h1>
<p>How many times have we heard this from our guy friends or boyfriends? How many times did they mistake one temper tantrum for your time of the month? Or the times they would count the days before Mother Nature comes to visit?</p>
<p>That’s definitely one thing lesbians will never do to women. And it made me realize how lucky lesbians are for dating each other. They’ll never have to experience those awkward moments of explaining what exactly is the difference between a pad and a tampon. Having to also awkwardly explain what size and brand one should get when going for a run to the store.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t have to try and defend myself for wanting to stay in bed instead of going out for a hike. Lesbians would already know. They would know because they themselves are women. And I honestly wish I knew what it’s like to be dating someone who understands the pain I’m going through. And no, dating a male ob-gyn does not count.</p>
<p>Although, when you&#8217;re a woman with a woman, your menstrual cycles would inevitably sync up meaning you go through all the period pains and lows at the same time. That could be bummer, sure, but it could also be awesomeness with double the ice cream and lounging in pjs together.</p>
<h1>Bye, Bye Pregnancy Scares</h1>
<p>Dating a lesbian automatically scratches out the possibility of accidentally getting pregnant. And if you&#8217;re a woman who&#8217;s experienced a condom mishap or forgotten to take her pills and experienced the agony of being late, you know how big of a perk this is.</p>
<p>Lesbians don’t have to worry about the possibility of getting pregnant while having sex. They could actually have all the sex they want without worrying about anything popping out, not unless they finally choose to have a baby by finding a semen donor. But without that donor, no baby will be coming out of that vagina any time soon.</p>
<p>I mean, all the sex you want without the risk of pregnancy? Count me in!</p>
<h1>A True Appreciation of Freedom</h1>
<p>With all jokes aside, I think if there’s one thing I envy the most when seeing two lesbians love each other, is the freedom they have to express it. I want to explain this further. We all know what these people have to go through in order to fight for their rights.</p>
<p>But even before they had those rights, they always cherished the love and respect they had for each other and proudly showed it to the world. Because they know how hard it is to be accepted for loving someone freely. So they cherish it.</p>
<p>They inspire many closet LGBT teens as well as straight people like me, who are often too shy and sometimes insecure to share and express the love their partner deserves. But they do that. Lesbian women may not be PDA heavy or maybe they are, but the fact that they are out in the world loving each other despite the stupid, petty things (and people) who have tried to stop them is straight up inspiring.</p>
<p>These women, who whole-heartedly love each other, don’t give a crap about what the world thinks. They only think about their selves, and the importance letting each other know, that they do love and accept each other despite circumstance. So yes, it did take a lot for these women to be able to show the world that they loved women. But the price they had to pay, the things they had to give up for everything else in return, was worth it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s dive right into what you want to know: who pays on a lesbian date? Gender roles are tricky enough for straight couples and seemingly even more complicated when it comes to lesbian dating.</p>
<p>So whether you’ve landed your first (or fifth) date with another lady, there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;re still unsure of the paying protocol. I assure you: You are not alone.</p>
<h1>Gender Roles and the Check</h1>
<p>As a newly-out, self-acclaimed soft butch, I believed that I would be the one paying for my more feminine counterparts. I looked the part, so why not act the part? However, I quickly learned that this idea was based on antiquated heterosexual behaviors that typically don’t apply to lesbian relationships.</p>
<p>Why? Well, it really boils down to one little word: money.</p>
<p>Everything we do revolves around money. It’s the foundation of our very society. But the fact remains that some people earn less than others. In fact, a woman earns approximately eleven thousand dollars less per year than a man for the exact same job. Eleven thousand.</p>
<p>Do you know what you could pay for with that much money? Dates. Lots and lots of dates. That’s why men have historically been expected to pay for them. They earn more, so they can spend more.</p>
<h1>Lesbian Dating: Who Pays?</h1>
<p>But what happens when two lesbians date? There’s not only one person earning less, but two. How do we, as lesbians, overcome this double deficit without breaking the bank? Well, the answer is surprisingly obvious.</p>
<p>In fact, I’ve never met any lady-loving lady who disagrees because it’s just that simple:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <strong>you</strong> asked her out, then <strong>you</strong> should pay.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If <strong>she</strong> asked you out, then <strong>she</strong> should pay.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re asking her out for a steak dinner, then you should pay for that steak dinner. If she asks you to join her on a five-hour journey to the aquarium, then she should pay for both tickets to the aquarium (but don’t be a jerk and not offer to chip in for the snacks).</p>
<p>It may seem a little strange at first, especially if you’ve never dated another woman before, but remember: you aren’t trying to go halfsies with a friend. You aren’t going out with a mere female acquaintance. You’re trying to woo someone who may end up being the love of your life, so plan and pay accordingly.</p>
<p>However, these are not hard and fast rules that you have to stick to forever. Around the forth date &#8211; or whenever it feels right to you &#8211; definitely talk about other ways to pay. If you both choose to split the bill from then onward, then that is perfectly acceptable.</p>
<p>You can also do what my girlfriend and I do: I’ll pay for one, and she’ll pay for the next. In fact, most women I know actually flip back and forth between who pays for each date at some point.</p>
<p>It’s practical, and honestly builds trust and security that may not have been there before. There’s nothing better than knowing your date has your back just as much you have hers.</p>
<p>If money is tight for either you or your lady and neither of these options are practical, then come to a solution that works best for the both of you. Maybe the woman who makes the least money only pays for every third date.</p>
<p>Maybe the woman who makes the most money decides to pay for everything except the cheap coffee dates. Both of these things are valid, and they are valid because they work for both of you.</p>
<p>Conversely, if you are unwilling to pay for anything ever, then there’s a good chance you won’t be dating that person for very much longer. Never paying can make you look like a freeloader. Please, for the love of all things Sapphic, don’t be a freeloader.</p>
<p>And if you do happen to slip into freeloading territory, there’s a good chance the relationship won’t last very long. Why? Well, it’s clearly all about balance in female-female relationships. Take care of your lady as best as you can, and I promise she will take care of you.</p>
