      You don't have to? Who's making you?

      You can always do the classic of sapphic thing of waking up one day with a girl that lives with you, that you share a bank account with, with who you spend all your time, that you make out with, who you might share a child with and wondering if she would agree to be your girlfriend or not lol

          The same way girls have done it before apps: school, work, gay bars, theater, volunteering, community events, etc. I mean, use the apps if they're available I guess, but its not obligatory. Hopefully it's better for queer dating.

            true, true. i guess i just kind of failed with the last girl i met off the not apps because i'm like 98% sure she isn't into me after months of "maybe?" and so now i feel like i'm just going for the opposite thing first

            that and i haven't even been on the apps since transitioning so maybe this will be better for me idk

                no. tl;dr without doxxing myself too hard i can't go to the normal social activity that we both normally go to and i haven't done a lot of talking to her since. i should do it but i haven't really been able to like. talk to her face to face and not around several other acquaintances.

                i'll figure it out soon though

                everybody keeps telling me that the answer isn't set in stone like i think it is but i can't help but thinking i know the answer here and that this can only end the one way, and it's me getting disappointed and hurt
