Figuring out your sexuality can be a scary and confusing time. But it’s important to take the time to figure out who you are.
Many people question their sexuality at some point in their life. It’s completely normal to wonder if you’re a lesbian. Here are some signs that you might be: 1. You’re attracted to women.
1. You’re attracted to women.
Whether you’ve had a relationship with a woman or not, you are probably attracted to women. You fantasize about them, you think about them, and sometimes you even feel physically attracted to them.
If you’re attracted to women and have no sexual feelings for men, it could mean that you are a lesbian. But you should know that your sexuality is on a spectrum and can change at different points in your life.
It’s ok to have some attraction for men and still be a lesbian. However, if you’re attracted to both men and women and aren’t sure which one is the dominant sex, you are likely bisexual. But don’t worry, you can always work out your sexuality later in life. That’s part of the beauty of sexuality — it’s fluid.

2. You don’t have any sexual feelings for men.
People who identify as straight typically prefer one gender, while those who are gay or lesbian are attracted to the opposite sex. However, sexual orientation is a spectrum and there are other categories such as bisexuality or pansexuality that allow you to be attracted to more than one gender.
If you find yourself swooning over a picture of a beautiful woman or thinking about how much you’d love to put your hands all over her cleavage, you’re probably attracted to women. However, it’s important to note that you can still be attracted to women even if you have a few sexual feelings for men.
You may also notice that you avoid looking at men when walking down the street or while out in public and instead focus your attention on women. This is a good sign that you’re likely a lesbian.
3. You’ve had one relationship with a woman.
For some women, locking lips with another woman gives them a rush of sexual pleasure. For those who feel this way, it may be a sign that they’re lesbian.
It’s important to note that determining your sexual orientation isn’t something you should rush. It’s a personal journey that requires time and self-exploration.
You can also gauge a lesbian’s interest in you by the way she compliments you. She might be overly friendly with you or give you compliments that are more pronounced than those she gives to others. She might also be more stern around you or give you compliments that are a bit more intimate. Depending on the individual, these signs could indicate that she’s flirting with you. However, a lesbian might also be more interested in your happiness and just want to see you smile. So take her compliments with a grain of salt.
4. You’re attracted to women.
Figuring out sexuality is a journey, and it can take time. Sometimes, you might find yourself wondering if you’re a lesbian, and it’s okay to have those feelings. It’s not just about a label, it’s about what makes you happy.
You enjoy spending time with women and find yourself looking forward to hanging out with your lesbian BFFs. You might even fantasize about having sex with non-men. You feel a connection with women that you don’t feel with men.
If you find yourself attracted to women, it’s likely that you are a lesbian. You might have noticed that this is the case if you find yourself making physical moves toward other women, such as leaning in when you talk or pecking them on the cheek. This is also a sign that you might be interested in them romantically. Similarly, you might compliment their body language or distinctive features like their eyes. It’s not easy to interpret mixed signals, and you might have trouble telling if someone is showing interest in you or not.
