How to Get a Lesbian Friend

Obtaining a lesbian friend is a great way to expand your horizons if you don't typically hang out with the gay and lesbian crowd. A lesbian friend can help you understand that lesbians are normal people, not just the colorful characters you see on TV during pride week.

Instructions

1. Ask your friends if they know any lesbians. A good way to make long-lasting friendships is to meet people through people you already know. If your friends know a lesbian and you truly want to make friends with a lesbian, start talking to her.

2. Hang out where lesbians typically hang out. In most major cities there are parts of town where the alternative crowd gathers. Find a coffee shop or a lounge in that area. Take a book, hang out and introduce yourself to a lady.

3. Make it clear to the lesbian that you are only looking for a friendship, especially if you are male. Many lesbians hate nothing more than a guy who thinks he can convert them in one night. Lesbians who go out regularly tend to have horror stories about straight men trying to hit on them.

4. Go out in a group with your lesbian friend. Invite her to outings with others. If she has a girlfriend, invite them to outings with other couples.

5. Be understanding with your lesbian friend. Many lesbians don't hang out with straight people due to past experiences that made them feel uncomfortable. Change that stereotype for your lesbian friend.
