Q&A for How to Find the Right Lesbian Partner

Immediately alert your boss, human resources department, and/or the police. That is illegal, and you definitely don't have to do it, no matter what she tells you.

That depends on who you're asking. Some people don't want any fuss, so if she's that type, there is nothing wrong with just asking her directly. Others prefer more time to flirt and get to know each other. You'll have to use your powers of observation to decide which approach fits best.

Drop some subtle hints, flirt with her, and your best bet: simply ask her if she wants to go for coffee, a movie, etc!

This is not uncommon for people in LGBT relationships. However, some LGBT people are uncomfortable with dating someone who's not out. If you feel you love her, then of course the relationship is worth keeping. But go in with the knowledge that keeping it secret can cause strain on a relationship.

Be whatever you really are. Your sexuality is not a choice. If you're attracted to people of both genders, maybe you're bisexual. If you're only attracted to girls, then you're lesbian, and you can't really change that.

Just ask her. If you are dating, ask her if she's happy with how things are. If she isn't ready to move forward, don't push her. Also, if you're not ready, don't let her push you into anything.

There is no "right" answer to this question. Whenever you feel ready is the right time.

You make the decision about whether you want to be honest about where you are with your sexuality or not. If you choose to identify openly as a lesbian, be sure to begin your discussion with an acknowledgment of what your parents believe and how important it is to them. Then, respectfully share what you think and how you've come to this conclusion.

You can't. Kids always fixate on anything they perceive as "different." Just ignore them, or ask "why does it matter, to you?" After a while, when they see it doesn't bother you, the teasing will stop.

She will look at your lips, maybe brush fluff off your shoulder, or try to snuggle up to you.

You can strike up a conversation about sexuality and let her know you're bi. If she responds positively, you can ask her if she ever thought about being with a girl. Her answer will guide you toward your next move.

You can't, so just ask her! If things are awkward after because she isn't, then too bad. If she is, go for it.

Ask around your school if there are any lesbian or bi girls. Gossip is likely to be the most sure fire way to find other girls that might date you.

No, you are not too young to know if you are gay or not.

Go to online dating websites, or go to a lesbian bar! It's not that hard to find lesbians on your area. Once you find one, ask her out!

Look online for support and connections.

If you also find boys attractive, you're probably bisexual, but you should feel free to identify however makes you most comfortable.

There's a chance she's still figuring out her sexuality. You should tell her how you feel. Most likely the worst that can happen is she tells you she's not interested.

Honestly, LGBTQ people have a way of finding each other. If you're out at school, other LGBTQ kids will most likely befriend you, and your straight friends will introduce you to people they know who are gay/bi. If the school has a Gay Straight Alliance club, you should join it.

They will probably kiss you passionately and/or touch you intimately. They might begin taking their and/or your clothes off. Before going further, make sure you ask if they want to have sex. If the answer is a definite yes, then you can proceed.

Honestly, I think it would be best to break it off with one of them. I understand you might love them both, but it can be unhealthy to be in two relationships at once, and it can be very difficult to avoid jealousy and hurt feelings.

Try finding some online! You might find some on places like Tumblr and LGBTQ forums. Also, make it clear to your IRL friends that you support the LGBTQ community, even if you're not out to them yet. Maybe one of them will have the courage to come out to you.

Mention something regarding the LGBT community that you have seen (for example, "Hey, did you hear that Halsey is bisexual?"), then ask for her opinion!

You have two options. Either sit down and tell her directly how you feel, or keep pretending like nothing happened and wait for your friendship to go back to normal (it will). If you're positive that she knows, and she's given you absolutely no signal that she feels the same way, it's pretty likely that she's not bringing it up because she's not interested and she doesn't want to hurt your feelings. However, the only way to know for sure is to talk to her.

Don't worry about it too much. It's perfectly normal to question your sexuality or be a little bit confused at your age. Most likely it will become more clear to you in time as you experience more crushes and begin dating people. You don't have to decide right now how you identify.

Not necessarily, you may be bisexual, or pansexual, or any other sexuality. You are ultimately the judge of how you define your own sexuality.

Don't be nervous. Act confident even if you're not. As the saying goes, "Fake it 'til you make it." If you act confident enough, you'll feel confident. If she says no, don't make a big deal of it, just keep moving along. A good way to start the conversation is to pay her a compliment or two and see how she reacts. If she blushes and/or compliments you back, there's a good chance she likes you.

If you're brave, just ask her. The worst she can do is say no. You could also try asking some of her friends about her sexuality or whether or not she is seeing anyone.

Luckily, you don't need a 100 partners - one will do. Imagine you're the last person on earth, safe at home, but there are lions in the streets. When you run out of food in the house, you'll have to risk it and find a way to the nearest supermarket - lions or not. Love is the same: at some point, your desire for love will be stronger than your fear to talk or fear of rejection. Then you'll get rejected, as we all do, and start again. But at some point you will find love, as we all do. In the meantime, make small-talk, keep your conversations short, enjoy life a little. Conversation with strangers becomes a lot easier the more you practice.

It shouldn't. As long as she's open to dating girls, you should be fine. Her pansexuality shouldn't cause any issues (unless you don't approve of that for some reason).
