    Hi,
    So I live in Meath and basically I'm 19 and haven't (to my knowledge) ever even meet another lesbian.
    I've only recently came to accepting my sexuality and tried some dating sites. It was a disaster and I just found it awkward and stuff.
    I'm really clueless about how girls go about meeting other lesbians, especially when you don't have any friends willing to come to gay bars etc. with you...

    I've never properly been with a girl and I'm starting to feel a little on my own... So yeah, any advice would be nice!
    Thanks :)
    i no exactly how you feel. i'm 18 in meath and feel as if all the girls are hiding. and it feels inapropriate to ask girls how they feel about other girls. hope you can find some one soon

    Have you tried belong to?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Belongto.org is great website it helped me with coming out and meeting people in groups it shows you groups in your area. I find it is very difficult for lgbt people under the age of 18. One of my friends is such a homophobic and I have always been really close to her I honestly am not attracted to her but I have seen her throw her other friends that have come out to her to the curb and I am honestly terrified I have come out to all of my close family and one of my best friends starting with my uncle who is gay I found it a huge help and he is my main support bit I am so close to this homophobic friend that I have that I am so scarred to come out to more people I don't want to lose her I even tried showing thee the page belongto.org with info but she just won't look past the fact that lesbians prefer the same sex plez I need some advice

    I understand where you're coming from, but you have to really think hard about whether you actually want to be friends with someone who would dump you out of her life because you like girls. Real friends don't do that.

    If you are as close to her as you say you are, perhaps your coming out would give her the reality check she needs to overcome her homophobic tendencies.

    If you are homophobic, it's easier to ditch your gay friends instead of making an effort to revaluate your prejudices (especially if you don't even realize you have them in the first place!)

    But it's harder to reconcile those tendencies with a friendship you value a great deal. She'll have to either come to terms with it or lose your friendship. If she cares about your friendship enough, she'll come to terms with it.

    If you do choose to tell her, emphasize that, as much as you love her, you don't fancy her at all (since that seems to be the main point of concern for her). Maybe somewhere down the line she'll appreciate how you shouldn't have to justify yourself in this regard.

    Hello guys. I'm a brazilian girl and I have 24 years old. On my next vacation I chose Ireland to visit and study for three moths. I think that on 3th January I arrive in Dublin. I like to meet lesbian girls.. could be very interesting and funny. I hope that someone read my message. XoXo, Thays

    This thread is a bit old but what the heck, I'm 23, I live in the South West and I'm freshly out to my parents as a femme lesbian after spending way too much time in the scary bogeyman's closet. Anyone in or out of the closet around my age is free to pm me if you want to chat.
