So you really like this girl, but what are the five signs she may be a lesbian? Yes, it is totally possible that a significant other may be repressing or hiding their actual homosexual identity. Because this is something that others may judge that person quite harshly on, it's important to use tact, compassion and understanding to any potential situation. Signs she might be a lesbian don't stop with five, but this article lists a few that are sure-fire affirmatives. Want to know if she might be a lesbian? Just read on!

  1. If she's really affectionate towards female friends, she may be a lesbian. Many women who repress their homosexual desires tend to keep their would-be love interests close at hand. It's the same mentality of the male "best friend" who sticks around her just for the hopes she will one day find he's the right one. Yet, it rarely happens. Same goes for repressed lesbians. They keep that special someone there just in case, and aren't afraid of a little "too much" intimacy.
  2. If she doesn't like to get intimate with you at all, she may be a lesbian. If your girlfriend (or potential partner) isn't interested in sex with you, maybe she just isn't attracted to men. Granted, this could also mean she just doesn't like you anymore, but don't throw this huge hint out the window.
  3. If she starts to display "masculine traits" she may be a lesbian. Many heterosexual women burp, fart, yell and talk about cars openly. In fact, i's actually pretty cool that they are very open with themselves. Yet, it is important to know that the majority of women don't feel comfortable enough to do these things in public, and those who do might be a little "manly" in the head. Exercise cautious judgement with this step.
  4. If she has had a homosexual past, she may be a lesbian. You can only suppress your true self for so long.
  5. If she hits on other girls "jokingly" quite often, she may be a lesbian. Obviously she could just be joking. However, there may be hints being dropped here that you are failing to account for. As with all the other signs she may be a lesbian, it is important to understand context, recognize a pattern, and be understanding.

Be very careful and sensitive when it comes to signs she may be a lesbian. There is nothing else more foolish than incorrectly assuming someone's sexuality, especially when going out on a limb. Also realize that you may need to be very close to your lady before she would let such a deep secret go.
