Lesbian Dating Guide - How Do I Get to Meet Lesbians?

For lesbians who have recently come out of the closet, it can be a difficult and daunting task trying to seek out other lesbians. It is very common to feel as though you're the lone lesbian in a heterosexual world. In some ways, it's easier for gay men since there are so many gay bars, gay clubs, gay cruises, gay male choruses, etc. But what's out there for lesbians? Here are some good starting points for meeting other lesbians in your community.
Lesbian bars
Duh. Lesbian bars might lack the wild and carefree appeal that gay bars have, attracting gay men, straight women, and all sorts of other types in between. However, they are a great place to meet lesbians. And that's what you're looking for, right? If you can't find a lesbian bar, go online and do a little research on google and I'm pretty sure you will find one near you. Even smaller cities and towns tend to have at least one lesbian bar tucked away somewhere, so go out there and find it.
Gay and lesbian center
If you aren't quite ready for dating, but want to get more acquainted with the lesbian community, a gay and lesbian center is the perfect place to get started. There is lesser pressure when compared to a bar setting and you can also take part in the various activities as well. If there's a gay and lesbian center in your town, you should definitely check it out and see what kind of programs they offer. It can be an excellent resource for meeting other lesbians and bisexual women in your neighborhood.

While I hate to make sweeping statements, lesbians, especially butch, loves to engage in sporting activities. Without lesbians, there would be no field hockey. Another up and coming sport dominated by lesbians is roller derby. Take out your aggression and meet women! In any case, many cities have established gay and lesbian sports league, which is a superb way to meet more lesbians living in the same city. But even if there isn't a lesbian-specific sport team for you to join, being active in any women's sports will most likely lead to meeting other lesbians. If it doesn't, at least you got in shape!
Church
I'm not suggesting hanging out at the Catholic Church or anything, but if you're religious, there are some open-minded congregations out there that have gay and lesbian members. Unitarian Churches are widely known for their liberal thinking and could be the starting point for you to meet religious lesbians if you are religious as well.
Gay neighborhoods
Almost every city has a gay neighborhood, even if it's only one block long. Gay neighborhoods typically have gay-owned shops and businesses as well as restaurants, bars, and coffee shops frequented by gays and lesbians. Go out and hang around in the neighborhood, talk to people in the gay bookshop or chat up the cute girl at the gay coffee house. These all some of the best and proven ways to find and locate fellow
