Lesbians would never fancy straight women?

[autumndel]

My friend is gay and we were having a convo about our love life etc.
She admitted to having a crush on a woman who was straight and still fancy's her.
Do you think this is odd? Surely if she knows she's straight what's the point?
I didn't say anything I just kinda laughed it off.

How do you know everyone’s sexuality

And how many people that you fancy or have a crush on develop into anything but that a fantasy in your head

GA is not gay....

I don't even know what my sexuality is anymore. I fancy everybody.

I fancy Ryan gosling but that ain’t gonna happen either. So what? It’s just a crush. Let her live.

I've been in love with John Barrowman for years. Judge away.

I think fancying celebs and real life people is totally different tho.

I came on to give a sensible answer but got to dinosaur porn and lost it

Fancying straight women (especially married ones) is great - all of the phwoarr and none of the hassle
Most of the women I've been attracted to have been straight & married.
Though I did have a thing for Gordon the Gopher a long time ago....

Why do crushes need to have a ‘likely to happen’ element to exist?
Have you only ever fancied people who are single when you are single?
Part of the fun of crushes is an element of distance with them. You don’t really think you’ll end up with them, it’s just a bit of fun.
I have been with my DP for years and I occasionally get a little crush on people I work with etc. It doesn’t mean I’d ever act on it, or leave my DP for them, or even think they’d return my feelings, it’s just a fun little thing for me that’ll fade.

I fancy and am attracted to anyone. Female, Male, gay, straight, trans.. none of those even factor in so do you explain my sexuality please?

Oh I have turned many men and made many men fall for me with my magnetic sex appeal they just can’t help it married or not they are powerless

In my fantasies

When I was 12 fancied the arse off George Michael. I didn't even know what gay was. I continued to fancy him right up until (sob) he died. Didn't matter to me who HE fancied, plus I wasn't ever going to get within a mile of him so my fantasies were just that. As long as she knows it's a daydream I think it's perfectly logical.

I fancy and am attracted to anyone. Female, Male, gay, straight, trans.. none of those even factor in so do you explain my sexuality please?
Easy? Desperate?
Just kidding Dark! Is there a category of 'omnisexual? That might cover it. Or something similar.

I fancy and am attracted to anyone. Female, Male, gay, straight, trans.. none of those even factor in so do you explain my sexuality please?

Pansexual.

Yeah isn't that called pansexual?

I'm a straight woman who often fancies gay men. What on earth does it matter as long as you respect their orientation and keep it to yourself?

Ricky Martin. Gay, loaded, happily married, famous, lives in South America. Never gonna meet him. Still have the odd fantasy about bumping into him and having a dirty afternoon in a hotel. Lol

PeakPants My bad, she seems to be bi-sexual and she’s had significant relationships with women and men. Many years ago when I saw her in a play she was in a relationship with a woman at the time so I wrongly assumed that she was a lesbian .

Throughout my life I’ve fancied straight men, gay men, straight women, gay women, bisexuals, a transwoman, fictional characters, long-dead historical characters and figments of my own imagination so it doesn’t seem very unreasonable to me.

Of course lesbians can fancy a straight woman!

People are attracted to other people for many reasons of which their sexual preferences aren't one

I am straight and married but definitely have a crush on a lesbian friend, so not too unusual.

Huh? John Barrowman = Very fanciable (by me)
Me = lacking in a penis therefore not his cup of tea.

Not everyone experiences crushes, attractions, and such feelings in the same way. YABU to act like just because that would make your feelings shut off then everyone else's brains must act the same way.

I know a few people who only get attracted to people they've known for several months and those sorts of feelings only build for them once close. I personally can get ridiculous awkward crushes at a pretty smile and it can take me a while after being hit by the emotions to figure out what's going on. I can go from content, able to reason why it's not possible, and in the right/wrong moment go back to fancying them. It's nothing to do with logic or the point of it or wrong with it, we just experience and react to attraction differently.

As long as the one with the crush handles their own feelings - which it sounds she is if she has to tell you for you to know - and doesn't put it on others to deal with, I don't see the issue. Unrequited feelings have been written about for millennia and many people can and do have them.

Oh yeah she hasn't told the woman.
I don't think she would ever do that.
