How do you date without feeling like a poser?
Hey, ladies! I feel like I’m at a crossroads when it comes to putting myself out there.
I’m a lesbian(24F) and I have spent a lot of my life not really allowing myself to explore that part of me. Now that I’m finally at a point where I feel ready to date women, I’m realizing I have absolutely NO idea how to navigate it without feeling like a poser😭. I also have a 3 y/o, which sometimes makes me wonder if other lesbians will take me seriously or question my sexuality. Just to add, I’m not ashamed of being a mom at all! But I’ve been so focused on that for so long that dating women feels like stepping into an entirely new world. And, unfortunately, I’ve experienced some biphobia in the past simply for my past relations with men, regardless of if I identify as lesbian now.
So, for my fellow late bloomers: how did you start dating women without feeling like a poser?
