I want a girlfriend

So before I get into details, I’m married to a man and have never been with a woman. I’ve talked (with the intentions of dating) to a couple of women but nothing ever came of it… the connection wasn’t there with one and other girl, I ended up extremely shy about it all🥲 Literally since I was in kindergarten, I’ve known I had an attraction to women (insert memory of my kindergarten teachers’ cleavage as she helped me with school work 😮‍💨). There’s probably a couple straight friends I had to distance myself from at some point through high school because I grew feelings for them outside of our friendship. And I’m starting to find a connection with my trauma and my attraction for men now that I’ve gone through all of my healing…. Maybe I’m going through something and this is temporary, but I’m feeling like I just don’t really like men all that much. Connection wise, emotionally nor sexually. I think I’ve just been in denial. And it’s strange thinking of my sexual experiences now because I couldn’t engage in them now truthfully. I think I genuinely just enjoyed the part where my subconscious was relating to my trauma. Still anonymous I know, but I have to admit it somewhere that I just crave a woman entirely. The energy, the emotional connection, the physical connection, all of it. I’m so lost how to navigate these feelings but on the other hand I don’t want to live without being authentic or actually pursuing a woman. I don’t even think I’d know how to talk to a woman. Sigh. Rant over.

Start talking to them

Hi there. So let me be the first to say FROM EXPERIENCE... I myself had the same curiosity once my husband and I had decided to separate because he was abusive and a narcissist. He actually encouraged me to start dating (I think he was hoping I would run back to him), and I met the love of my life. I finalized my divorce in Sept of 2022 and uhauled my new partner to me from another state January of 2023. I have never been happier. I also have followed 2 other late to life lesbians on tiktok who both were in the same position as you and are now in the process of dating each other long distance while managing their households with their husbands even though they both believe each other to be soulmates and just not be in love with their husbands but still appreciate them. Both have 4 or 5 kids each. My partner has 3 kids and I have 2 kids. Together we have a house full. If this is what you want then go for it full swing. Good luck. 😘 🥰

I was the same way til last year and I broke my woman cherry with my ex. I'm poly and my husband supports me having a girlfriend. I don't really like men that much either other than my husband 😂

@Pamela that’s the trick though ain’t it 🥲😩 I’m so damn shy and how do you just find a lesbian walking down the street 🥺

@Annamaria🌈 aww it’s so great to hear how happy you are seriously ❤️❤️ I’m 24 so not feeling too late but feeling kind of like a fraud🫠 Thank you so much 😊 I’m going to try to build the courage!

@Tamika Aw that’s great! I think my husband would have an issue with a girlfriend as far as feelings but not if it was physical. I guess I don’t know until I talk to him about it. I just am not looking forward to him having jokes about it though. And men are 🤮

Friends with benefits might be an option that he's comfortable with too. I catch feelings so I can't do fwb but I know alot of women that are happy with a bestie that they are spicy with sometimes

I understand your feelings dear. I'm here if you'd like to talk

I understand how you feel about it. Now I’m a bisexual woman and I first noticed I liked women along with men when I was about 12 years old and my father is very old fashioned doesn’t believe in that but he found out because my sister saw it on my MySpace (so long ago) that I like women and I lied and said my friend made the account and I didn’t know how to change it. Otherwise he was going to kick me out. Now I never told him the truth because well one he’s not a very nice man also in my Asian culture it was just wrong. And also he had plans of me marrying an Asian man and keeping up my culture… now I have dated some women but I never told him. My mom knew but she never told him thank god cuz she knew how he was and my mom is white and is more open minded and thankfully divorced him. Now him and my Asian side of my family was not happy that I married a white man but I’m also sad I never got to really be myself when I was younger but I am proud of my life with him out of it now

Hey message me , I'm in the EXACT SAME SITUATION, Let me know where you are from if you are close maybe we can meet up and talk about stuff (:

Hey ❤️

Have a girls night at a gay club and start mingling just to break out Of Your shell.

I wish I had someone that would go with me

@Dee I wouldn’t have anyone to go with me. Besides, I’ve heard soo many say that straight men took over all of the gay bars/clubs near me 🙃

@Leilani hey❤️

Hey

Wanna message me?

I prefer women. Always have. The year before last I met with a woman I had been chatting with on this app. She is partnered, never been with a woman, always wanted to try. I thought things were getting serious between us. We messaged each other all day everyday, simple things, like "my kid just dropped eggs all over the floor" or pictures and videos of what we were doing with our kids that day - like crafts, artwork, or even what food we'd made. All day, everyday, constant intimate details, a real window into each other's lives. Then... We decided it was time to be physically intimate. She has one child the same age as my own, and they had become fast friends, so we decided they could have a sleepover at her house, and id sleepover too. But she also wanted me to be intimate with her partner, which was not where I'd thought we were going, I thought it would just be her and me, but I was like, okay, sure, whatever. We decided on just oral. Then, we arranged a second sleepover, and she wanted me to have full....

2) penetration with him. I agreed to it, because I hoped it would... Idk... Strengthen what I thought we were building? I thought the night went well. Then... She basically ghosted me. Still sent me tiktoks through the app, but stopped sending me texts. Stopped responding to my texts. So I stopped texting. Just tiktoks, like her, because I'll only give what I get. And I was really hurt. After about three months, she finally responded, and told me that she didn't want to persue it anymore,, because it caused a rift in her relationship with her kids dad. I thought I was in a relationship with her too, but no, I wasn't. I was cast aside. Unimportant. Just an experiment. And it still hurts. So if you want to "try it out," don't build a relationship with her unless you mean it. Because what she did to me was fucking cruel and heartless. I'm a person. I'm not just an experience.

@Cris I’m so sorry this happened to you. They’re both equally wrong for how that went down and it definitely sounds like he maybe pushed her to do all of that.. she’s still wrong nonetheless and you deserve better. However, I don’t just want to try anything out. I haven’t decided a label for myself but how I feel, I’m not attracted to men.. even on an emotional and romantic level, I just want to love a woman and be loved by one. I don’t intend on including my husband in any relationship I may pursue and I’m still navigating if I even want him romantically anymore. He has always been my best friend though so it’s tough figuring it out. But I really want to clarify I’ve never been interested in threesomes. I’ve probably tried just about every kinky thing with a man and that was never an interest of mine.
