This is a thread for women who unexpectedly (or not) find themselves attracted to another woman.

I did tell you I'm a bit crap.

onanightlikethis · 15/04/2012 21:33

Not sure I have a celebrity crush.... Short that looks fem- can be tucked behind ears maybe -or a really cute crop
Nimpy- agree.

texting is the way to go, emails are just too business like. not intimate.

juneybean · 15/04/2012 21:36

Meh I don't tend to assign myself a label I like girls but I don't close myself to the fact prince charming might come and sweep me off my feet one day.

But in any case I like my girls girly with lovely long hair Grin

if she ignored a text you could just call (or instead). Calling is the best once you are very at ease with each other but texts are good to strat with amd also if you want to say things carefully (not risk getting tongye tied on he phone).

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:39

digbert - tucked behind ears is nice, Scott Thomas does it best, but you do need agreat bone structure for that. or again Sinead at 18. A challenge for most.

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:41

that would be my trouble, I get very tongue tied unless I'm really at ease with someone. Texting I can do! Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:41

so, my question got lost...does anyone thinks that if wiq never saw me in a skirt she might think on these lines of me? even though i wear some makeup?

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:41

june I like my with a mane too Grin

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:43

Likea I don't know about that. I don't tend to make assumptions about people based on their clothes, esp if I only tend to see them in one place ie work.

Synchronicity · 15/04/2012 21:43

Mags - I agree too she's stunning.
I like femme with short hair and long. Been thinking of getting mine cut short again but not sure I can pull it off, plus hate having to get it cut every 4 weeks. Not really into v butch either.

World - thanks, like your name too. Totally with you on the exhilaration of knowing I'm single and could start properly exploring my attraction to women and plus as you say already have my dc. It seems difficult in that if I did meet someone there's not only the worry of does she like me but is she or could she be into women and then not wanting to risk a burgeoning friendship if you like someone but they dont feel the same. I know just getting out to groups etc us good way of meeting people although doesn't solve the is she/isnt she problem. Are you in the UK?

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:44

polly that;s why i text my wiq and she likes to contact me by text, i came up with some subtle compliments this way which she liked, if i was talking i'd just jumble it as usual.

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:44

sorry mine with a mane obv

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:45

yes I've missed a trick there haven't I? But I'd feel an even bigger berk emailing again just to ask for her phone number.

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:45

polly she doesn't see me at work, but ok, possibly she wouldn't go by that. it's been months though and never a skirt!

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:47

if it makes you feel any better i last wore a skirt when i witnessed a friends wedding. Three years ago.

Can't be doing with 'em.

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:48

polly just ask next time she contacts though, or during your drink at least!!

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:49

yes i will!

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:51

ha ha - it does make me ffel better, i feel a but lazy and a unusual no to like them, so much harder to choose the shoes and they are just not comfortable (I walk everywhere), I wear them in the eveing when the place is 'smart' but haven't been to those for months and it's always been a chore for me. so much easier with sexy black (or blue) jeans.

Synchronicity · 15/04/2012 21:52

X posts with lots of people - v slow on phone.
Polly - I reckon you ought to ask for her number.
Likea - about the clothes, nothing wrong with wanting to dress up for you but personally I would want someone to he attracted to me, as I am, otherwise I'd be tying myself up trying to look 'right' or say the right things, iyswim

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:52

not to like

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:52

If sleepless pops in tonight - good luck for tomorrow with your WIQ x

NimpyWindowmash · 15/04/2012 21:55

Not wearing a skirt isn't enough really to give her a clue. You need to be less subtle.

pollyblue · 15/04/2012 21:56

Synch yes I've just set myself a deadline, if she's not emailed by 11 I'll send a quick PS to my email and ask for her number.

Likea you've got to feel really comfortable (I think) to be sexy - and a good fitting pair of dark jeans with boots or heels can be really sexy if you walk tall and look confident. Nowt worse than tottering about in heels if you don't usually wear them, or forever hitching down a skirt that's getting on your nerves.

likeatonneofbricks · 15/04/2012 21:56

Synch - well that's exactly what I feel, hate wasting time on long shopping trips and dressing up, thankfully I'm in reasonable shape to wear jeans (not scruffy), and I do want to be liked for myself. No, I meant would she guess I may be bi/gay if I'm always in trousers (she doen't know) - it wasn't about tyring to impress.
