    Ok so here's the thing
    I'm female and in my mid twenties and over the last 12 months have sort of come to the conclusion that i'm probably gay.
    I never really had any proper relationships with guys i always figured it was just because i hadn't met the "right guy"
    Then various things happened that made me start to wonder about my sexuality but I kind of told myself that I was jumping to conclusion. Then sort of out of nowhere I fell for a colleague at work (this was while I was away from Ireland). Unfortunately she was in a relationship so was off limits and I was too intimidated to talk to her about. Anyway now I'm back home and want to explore my sexuality but I don't have any gay friends (not sure how that has happened in this day and age but anyway!)
    So the question is what do i do next.
    I live in Dublin by the way
    Where should i go, how much should i tell people
    ahhhhhh
    head so messed up
    please help!

    Congrats for coming out to yourself! THey have a monthly women's coming out group in Outhouse, Capel Street. Check their website for times and dates. Dublin Lesbian line could be helpful/supportive also. Someone to validate/noirmalise your experience. Most of my gay female friends go to The Front Lounge Fri or Sat night for socialising.
    Good luck!

    You could join some of the gay and lesbian websites that exist.


    These 2 are lesbian focussed:
    sapphicireland.com
    angrypotato.net

    And these 2 are general LGBT sites
    queerid.com
    gaire.com

    Most if not all have get togethers where you can get to meet friends to go out with, if nothing more.

    IMO the first and most important thing is to be comfortable in your own skin. Once you are, talk to people who you trust to be non-judgemental and who will listen to you. Some people "come out" with great gusto... others take a little while longer, the most important thing is doing what's right for you and what you are comfortable with. Don't worry too much about labelling yourself just yet, explore and see what you are comfortable with.

    While you are still working through things some chat rooms might be an idea, they afford you some anonymity which may allay any concerns you might have. Just be careful on there... there can be people who may not have your best interests at heart. From there room meets can be good.

    Good luck with it and let us know how you get on *s
