For example, making friends with someone who is gay could lead you to meet their other friends. This, in turn, could lead you to a potential date that you did not know before.
Unlike most other places, at a Pride festival you can usually assume that the girls are lesbian or bisexual, instead of straight.
It can be hard to find a safe space online where people are honest about who they are and what their intentions are. Be careful and protect yourself by not giving a stranger too much personal information about yourself. Don’t meet a stranger without telling someone where you’ll be and try to meet them in a public place. If you are uncomfortable telling your parents where you are, at the very least tell a friend.
You shouldn’t go into a friendship with a girl expecting to make her bisexual or lesbian when she is not. That is just setting yourself up for failure and it could make for some really awkward interactions.
This may be the end of the road on your quest to date this girl. She may say that she’s not interested in dating girls, or she could even say that she finds it gross. Be prepared for this to happen and be willing to walk away from a girl that’s not interested. The old saying is very true, there are a lot more fish in the sea.
If you can’t find a lot of similar interests, show interest in learning about what she likes. Perhaps she likes a type of music that you have never listened to. Ask her to play some for you and to explain what she likes about it.
Flirting is basically an art form that needs to be practiced. Don’t feel bad if you try to flirt and it doesn’t go as planned. Practice makes perfect.
Remember that the worst that will probably happen is that you will get turned down, and that’s not really the end of the world. The upside is that you might get a date and eventually a girlfriend! Try this: After you let it slip that you think a famous girl is cute, then you can tell your crush that you think she is cute too. This will probably be flattering if the other girl you mentioned is also beautiful.
