I feel so embarrassed writing this but figured I’d put it somewhere where someone else could possibly relate lol

So I’m in my 20’s, and I see that so many of my friends are out there living their lives dating and hooking up with people. Not that I want to be sleeping around, but I definitely have many wants and desires. The problem is that I’m demi.

I haven’t been in a relationship in a really long time and even then it was incredibly unfulfilling. I haven’t even liked/crushed on anyone in god knows how long. A partner would be really nice and definitely something I’m open to, but I’ve really been focusing on me, my education and career, and I don’t really want to force a connection with anyone since it hasn’t been happening organically.

Now back to the problem, I want to have sex real bad. Unfortunately, I physically cannot do anything with anyone without being repulsed unless I really like/love them, but as I mentioned before that just hasn’t been happening. I also definitely don’t want to peruse a relationship with anyone just for the purpose of having sex because that just seems like a recipe for disaster.

I feel like my mind and body are constantly at war with each other and I just wish I could have my wants fulfilled like any other person my age instead of having to deal with all this crap.

Basically what advice would you give a 20-something lesbian

Dating apps suck and I’m pretty much done with them so I’d love to hear some stories from those of you who met your partners outside of them

I’m in my 20’s and have just been feeling a lack of community in my life. I’m aware there’s clubs/bars, but I just don’t feel safe going to them on my own (especially at night).

Anyone located in/around the NYC area know of any groups/activities a young (mostly broke) lesbian could do to find some community?

It was the first thought. It was so immediate I hadn’t even opened my eyes yet. I’m just so alone the only thing my body could bare to do upon waking up was think about how nobody would care enough to reach out to me

It’s now 11pm and I was right

So tired of coming on here and seeing so many new posts of people dealing with the same thing over and over again. Yeah yeah, at the end of the day it’s just an app, but a social media platform should not be this infuriating to use. AI, should not be telling us we’re not human. At the very least we should be able to be told what we did, be able to appeal and talk to a single human.

But genuinely, as a collective is there anything we can actually do about this? Who do we have to write, what do we have to do? There’s been such an insane amount of us “joining the club” lately and I just think this whole situation has just been incredibly ridiculous

Been a user for 7 years with no problems. Suddenly in the span of a week I lose my first account to “inauthentic behavior” and every other day my alt account goes from working fine to suddenly not

I know that I am FAR from the only person going through this as it seems like there are hundreds of new posts just like this every time I come to check.

I am just genuinely failing to comprehend how an app could screw so many people over in such a short amount of time and not do anything to attempt to fix/help??? What is it going to take for them to help us

Like the title says just looking a place to find some community and chat. I feel like most I come across are either overwhelmingly large or completely dead.
