How to get over my fear of approaching femmes as another femme?
Hey! Kind of a silly title, but I've only had 2 lesbian relationships and a few hookups. One relationship with a femme lesbian that was short-lived, and another long term relationship with a butch. I don't discriminate when it comes to how someone presents. If the chemistry is there, it's there.
However, I feel more nervous when talking to femmes than I do mascs/butches/studs? I'm talking to two girls right now on hinge, but I'm more apprehensive in flirting with them because I'm hyperfeminine. Not sure why.
It's almost as if I'm okay with being more straightforward with butches, and I also feel like I can take intitative because at the end of the day I'll always be hard locked into the feminine role I enjoy embodying. However, I'm clueless when it comes to other femmes? I don't want to be perceived as masculine and placed into a box if I'm more dominant and forward (despite enjoying doing the pursuing), but I'm also tired of doing the whole "you're so pretty" cliche. Do any other feminine presenting lesbians deal with this? How do I get over it?
