It is exactly as common as being uncommon with your own sexuality. As in, it's the same thing. If you have friends, family, or (randomly) a therapist who knows that you are lesbian or who you can tell, talk to them about it. It's understandable to be uncomfortable with it in other people if you're not even comfortable with it yourself.
P.S. If you have trouble telling someone, here's a bit of motivation. If you don't, and you feel sick when other lesbians come around, you're never going to get a longterm girlfriend. Which, btws, sucks.
of course! their the same as you are, just lesbian <><><><><> Ofcourse you should you should be proud to know somebody that is a lesbian proud that you know somebody that is different
That is up to you. Might be better to wait until you know though. If you feel you have to tell someone. Regardless of what you are - you are.
Simple answer is: You don't. The only way you know for sure that someone is a lesbian is if they tell you they are, or are open about it.
yes i know someone
Well, if you know for a fact that they like you then you can relax and feel comfortable. But most people feel a fear of rejection before asking someone out - it's completely normal and common.
you feel it if its there.
I'm not a lesbian, but I would guess they feel the same things all people feel. If they are attracted to someone, they notice it when they look at the person and talk to them. I guess it is more complicated because they don't know if the attention will be unwanted/inappropriate.
There is only one fool-proof method. You ask them.
It is not normal.
If you feel abnormal, it is either because you feel like or you know you did something wrong and you don't know how to deal with it, but other than that, if you are human than you are normal. You cannot be not normal.
If you mean recognize that they are lesbians, the men cannot do that without asking them.
She smiles at you, she looks at you, she is interested in what you are saying. All the normal ways you know if people like you.
