One question I keep hearing over and over again is, “How do I know if she likes me?”
I hear this question at least once a week if not more and one particular friend suggested I write a blog on how to tell if she’s just not that into you? I thought that was a good idea so from now on when I get asked these questions, I can send them to CCL. But this topic is much too complicated and long to cover in only one post but you’ve got to start somewhere.

Well, there are a lot of little red flags that you should be on the lookout for. While most of them will seem painfully obvious to anyone not currently afflicted with unrequited love, bear with us while we try to point our lost sisters towards the tunnel of light.
The first and very, very obvious sign that any gay girl worth her salt needs to look for is orientation. Is the object of your desire of the sapphic persuasion? Or does she exclaim over cocktails with the girls, how much she loves the penis? If you’re not sure, pay attention. If she demonstrates her rock star blowjob on her bottle of Corona or brags about how much “dick she gets” then she probably bats for the other team.
What if your crush isn’t this brash? Then look for more subtle cues. Is she boy crazy? Does she have a thing for a cute guy in the office? Does she tell you about her dates with men and sound happy or excited about it? Ok, now here is also where you might see a sign that can confuse you. If she talks about men a lot, but only complains about them and how badly they treat her. Your lesbian brain may want to read this as a cry for help. As an opportunity to swoop in and show her how she should be treated, how you could treat her.
But DON’T. Not yet. A lot of straight women hate men. Not in a really “I hate men and never want to have sex with them again way.” But usually in a “ I hate them but can’t live without them either” sort of way. So reign in your natural urge to play hero to your seeming damsel in distress. She just may be venting and you just may be the friend she feels safe enough to do that to. But don’t read too much into THAT either.
I know a lot of lesbians that think almost all women have some gayness in them. But I don’t agree. That’s the equivalent to men telling a lesbian that they just haven’t met the right man yet. Rude right? So don’t do it to the straight women in your life, it’ll just creep them out.
So while this is only the first in what may end up being a long series, the first and most important clue that a girl just isn’t that into you is??? Come on, pay attention because there will be pop quizzes.
……. If she’s straight, then she’s just not that into you. Period. Move on. Don’t try to change her mind about the vagina. Don’t wait until she’s drunk one night and think that a sloppy, Cosmo tasting smooch means anymore with you then the five other people she kissed that night. And don’t wait around, following her like a lost puppy dog because you could and probably are ignoring a perfectly gay girl who has her eye on you. And how sad would that be??
Love it Sasha!
I think this sort of behavior follows a similar pattern to the omg-she’s-wayy-too-clingy-for-me syndrome; another issue i’ve seen all too often in our community. *Sigh*.
Love it Sash, this style of writing harkens back to your old blogs! I love it. You’re so funny, which is funny in itself because hot chicks like you don’t usually have such a good sense of humor.
Yes if she is straight wearing a lesbian mask as she flirts over the top-both in words and in actions that definitely show she is NOT “straight” run in the opposite direction because in the end she WILL run to him. If you cared about her at all you will not only support her running to him you will encourage it because everyone should be themselves not who we wish (or even who we thought they were) to be in this world. My ? I know for another post is how then does one react when the straight (previously in a MUCH more then friendship relationship w you in REAL life not just in your “I wish” mind) wants to go back to being one of your best hetero friends when you’re no hetero. I know this is for another future post im just throwing it in the equation. Very well written Sasha.
You deserve better than that. Remember that before you go off into the grim night trying to “rescue” someone.
Those were hints but not guarantees. When I came out to my “straight” friend who had always only talked about guys, she admitted to being bi and started flirting with me. Or what about another “straight” friend who tickled me, then told me she had a tickle-fetish, then avoided me like the plague, then compared homosexuality to pedophilia and told me that she avoided people she had “inappropriate feelings for?”
Okay, nevermind, avoid the straighties and confused bi-curious lol!
Youre right J.N … These are just hints …. But too many times when a girl is crushing on a possible heart throb, we ignore these hints …. Love is blind …. Or at least it needs glasses.
Sasha this is so true. I always fall for the straighties and then hope and pray that they might be gay but just dent know it yet! So far I was only right once and even she turned out to be bi and left me for her ex boyfriend after 6 months with me and told me I was a phase. I felt like a chump. From now on I will watch for those signs!
Or what if your the straighty who realized you areis not straight anymore when you discovered youl had a serious crush on a lesbian who is not interested/not available?
Thank her for opening up your world and then find someone who is interested, and available.
Well…I dnt knw but my bestfriend is straight and during her troubling heterosexual relationship she told me she wished her boyfriend was like me. Whenever she is drunk, she always wanna kiss me. Stupid me tell the girl tht I’m in love wit her…worst mistake..she said plain nuin won’t become of us. Yet if I’m to talk bout my gf or other crush I cud see in her eyes the she’s hurting…so I dnt knw wht the hell is her prob…wish if I had see this website sooner cuz she wudda never knw hw I feel for her.
Love it. Can’t wait for the next part. Sadly, it can be difficult to tell if they never talk about that sort of thing or if she’s been single for awhile. Another problem with long term single girls, is they become more open to ideas. They may seem like they like you, but really, she’s strait and lonely
