How to attract other girls?

[Katie2003]

OK. Quite simply, I like other girls and want to know how to get them to ask me for a date? I find it nearly impossible to look at another girl and figure out if she's bisexual or lesbian except for the very few with super short haircuts who dress like guys. There's nothing wrong with that, but they don't represent the majority of girls who date other girls.

Is there a certain thing I can do, certain way to dress that will attract other girls? I've been wearing some really short shorts and much shorter skirts and dresses this summer, with the resulting looks and attention from boys, which quite honestly I would prefer not to get although it's nicely reinforcing to be seen as pretty for someone like myself with body image and self esteem issues.

So how, exactly, do I attract girls? I've been thinking quite seriously about doing a super short haircut, but I'd probably still want to dress like a girl. Preferring to be the submissive partner in my relationships, I'm probably not ever going to be the one to ask the other girl out on a date but I'm OK with flirting and trying to attract their attention once I know for sure they like girls.

First, do not feel the need to change the way you dress or change the way just to attract other girls. There will be girls who will like you for who you are. I know that isn’t what you’re going for, meaning you do not want to change yourself to attract other girls; you want other girls to know you are into girls. There is nothing wrong with that, but you definitely do not need to change anything about yourself. It is more difficult as a lesbian / bisexual girl that likes girls because you do not know if the person you like is also into girls. It helps a little bit to know, but finding out is difficult.

Why not ask a girl you are interested in how she feels about the LGBT community. See how she responds. Also, see how she acts around guys or if she has an interest in guys. That is normally a bad sign because she either would be into a guy at the moment or just not into girls at all. Asking her how she feels about the LGBT community would be a start though. You can pretty much get a feel for how she is by how she responds to that question. If she is either shy or nervous while answering, she could be nervous to admit she is into girls. If she is hateful, then just don’t bother; that girl is not worth it. If she is openly accepting or tells you she’s actually in the LGBT community, then that is great! You can go from there. Tell her you are LGBT. However, ask her for her opinion on the LGBT community first.

Just b urself and get to know someone
better and become friends. If u want to
flirt and ur comfortable with it then I don't
c y it will hurt. Share interests with others
go to dances or concerts or places where a
lot of girls hang out and u just might find
someone who is going to take an interest
in u.

I don’t think there’s like a one size fits all way of being attractive, everyone has a different opinion about attractiveness, I would say just focus on you, do your own thing, have your own style, and definitely don’t try to hard. The right person will find you
