Step 1
Take some time to really assess what you want out of a girlfriend. Get a piece of paper and split it down the middle on one side write external and the other write internal. Write a list of internal qualities you want out of a partner and a list of external qualities you want out of a partner.
-
Step 2
Compare the sides of the list and try to make the internal quality list a bit longer than the external list. Realize that finding someone to fit into your physical image of a mate will be easier to fulfill than finding someone who has the same internal energy that you do.

Step 3
Ask friends if they have any single available friends that you might find as potential suitors. Friends often share friends with similar interests and qualities and this can be a great way to narrow down choices. Try a few blind dates with friend set-ups and test the dating waters this way.

Step 4
Visit local gay and lesbian bars to find other potential mates. If you live in a suburban area or rural area think about making a trip to the nearest city center and spending a couple of days to check out the gay/lesbian scene. Cruise bars or better yet, lesbian singles meetings to help you to meet new viable partners.
-
Step 5
Sign up to attend a lesbian cruise or lesbian health retreat, anything that peaks your interest that helps single lesbian women to gather in one area for a common interest. Book clubs, feminism groups or art forums are great places to meet other lesbians.

Step 6
Check online dating resources to help you to narrow down your search for a lesbian girlfriend. Be very cautious and smart about your choices online but open minded. Online dating services can be extremely helpful for lesbians searching for dates or partners.
