You are in the bookstore and this cute girl stands next to you, browsing at magazines. After a few moments, she strikes up a conversation and you aren't sure if she is flirting or just being friendly. How can you tell if she's interested?
#1) Does she make eye contact with you? It's an added bonus if she looks you in the eye and smiles!
#2) Has she touched your arm or brushed against you at all. If she is trying to get into your space, this could be a possible signal. If you return the gesture and she leans into you, it is a pretty safe bet that she is thinking what you are thinking.
#3) Does she have any tattoos that might give her away? A lot of lesbians will have some sort of 'pride' tattoo or other symbol that may give them away. Take a close look, it might be very subtle or it could be a great big rainbow, but you won't know unless you take a close look.
#4) Does she have any jewelry that might give her away at all? A rainbow ring, necklace, a labrys is an older symbol of empowerment for women and could be a clue as to her sexuality. A ring on the thumb has been known to be an indicator of bisexuality and a ring on the middle finger of the left hand is sometimes worn by lesbians in a committed relationship. Not the traditional wedding ring finger, but the longest digit of the hand is the one to look for.
#5) Does she play with her hair when she talks and smiles at you? This is often the way a very femme woman will flirt. Look for the subtle changes in her face, her expressions and her eyes. The hair flipping, in conjunction with all the above is almost a sure bet that you are being flirted with.
#6) Casually mention your "last girlfriend" and wait for her response. If there is no look of shock, no obvious change in her demeanor and she still seems to be flirting with you, then she most likely is.
#7) Mention the name of a local gay club or bar and ask if she has ever been there. If she is familiar and says she has been there, then you are as good as gold, my friend. Ask her out!
#8) If you are the daring sort, and you are somewhere near a coffee shop or drink stand, ask her if she'd like something to drink and offer to get it. If she readily accepts your invitation, sits and talks with you, then most likely she is interested in you as much as you are in her!
#9) During your conversation, place your hand on the small of her back, very casually and direct her towards a door, a chair, anywhere. If she readily moves with you, it is her subconscious allowing you to take control of the situation and points to her desire for you to do so. At that point, you should be confident to ask her for her number so that you can "give her a call sometime".
#10) Just come right out and ask her if all else fails. She seems interested and you just aren't sure. The only way you will know is to just come right out and ask. Perhaps you say something sweet like "I really don't mean to offend you so please, take it as a compliment, but I would love to meet a girl like you and get to know her. Any chance you might give me your phone number and do lunch sometime?" You are giving her a compliment and giving her an out all at the same time. She will tell you if she's interested by accepting or declining. She might even come right out and say "I thought you'd NEVER ask!"
Good luck with your dating. It isn't easy to meet quality people, especially out in public. More and more people are turning to online dating, but it certainly is more fun to have that initial spark from across the room and find an excuse to move closer and strike up a conversation. Maybe you will exchange glances and both play hard to get? The relationship dance is a fun one, if you allow yourself to enjoy it. Don't let your anxiety keep you from having a little fun. Flirting is good for the soul...even if the girl turns out to be straight.

I'm a Midwesterner with a background in writing and media. My articles are mainly about relationships, dating, and heartbreak.
Throughout my life, I've been told that it is a lot harder to spot a lesbian than a gay man, that women find it easier to hide their sexual orientation, or even that lesbians don't exist (don't fall for that last one, kids).
The fact is that, just like straight people, LGBT people come in all types. The only way to know anyone’s sexuality for sure is to ask them, but that can be an intimidating task. This article will teach you polite ways of figuring out someone’s sexuality, and perhaps even teach you a few tidbits of lesbian style and culture along the way.
Before trying to figure out another person’s sexuality...
Ask yourself: Why do I need to know? Many people consider their sexual lives private, and if you are just curious about a coworker or acquaintance, you should probably respect their privacy and let it be. If you are a woman who likes women and are interested in a particular girl, wait until you know them better and the subject will most likely come up naturally.
With that in mind, and knowing that none of these clues will be totally accurate without a direct, verbal confirmation, here are a few signs that a woman you know is into ladies.
Hairstyles, clothing, and fingernails can provide a few clues when trying to figure out if someone's a lesbian.
This is always the first sign people bring up, and probably one of the least accurate. Seriously, women-loving women have as much variety in their hairstyles as straight women, and it’s impossible to tell any woman’s sexuality from her hair. That being said, there are a few hairstyles that are sometimes extra popular in lesbian circles, and I can list them for you here:
If you see a traditionally masculine haircut on a woman, you might be tempted to make assumptions about that woman’s sexuality. In fact, she could be straight, bi, lesbian, asexual, or anything in between. All you really know about her is that she likes her hair short. Similarly, if you see a girl with an alternative lifestyle haircut, it’s a very good bet that she considers herself left-leaning, enjoys social criticism, and maybe even works in a creative field. Is she gay, though? It’s impossible to tell. Many lesbians are left-leaning and creative, but so are many straight women. So, as I mentioned above, hair is not going to be a good indicator of sexuality.
Like hair, clothes are not going to help you figure out if a woman is batting for the same team. There are, however, a few exceptions to this:
This stereotype actually has some truth to it. Women who are sexually active with other women like to keep their fingernails short to keep from harming their partner’s more sensitive areas. (Men who are sexually active with women often keep their fingernails short for the same reason.) However, there are many, many ways for two women to have sex. There are also many women who are still attracted to women, who aren’t currently in that kind of relationship and haven’t cut their nails lately. And obviously, lots of straight women have short fingernails. So again, not exactly foolproof.
If she's wearing a shirt that says "I'm gay," it's safe to assume she might be gay.
Many people equate sexual orientation and gender identity, believing that the vast majority of lesbians also dress and behave in a more masculine way than most straight women. That view unfairly and inaccurately limits the boundaries of what it means to be gay. In fact, the women-loving-women of the world who dress in masculine clothing and have shorter haircuts are simply more visible than those who dress in a more feminine style.
The dichotomy of masculine and feminine styles, known as "butch" and "femme," has a long and complicated history originating in working-class lesbian culture of the '50s and '60s, but no longer accurately represents the lives of most non-straight women today.
Sexual orientation and gender identity are not necessarily related! Many straight women prefer to behave or dress in more traditionally masculine ways and many gay women are very feminine. It is perfectly OK to be anywhere on the sexuality or gender scales.
Someone who is only attracted to people of the same gender.
Someone who is attracted to both men and women
Someone who is attracted to multiple genders and prefers not to limit themselves to the gender binary
Someone who doesn't feel sexually attracted to anyone and may prefer not to have sexual relationships
Stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender." An umbrella term for people who identify as non-straight or non-gender-normative.
An umbrella term often used instead of LGBT by people within the community. Because this term is still a pejorative and has been reclaimed, make sure to only use it if you identify as queer yourself.
If she's interested in books on queer theory and activism, you can use that as a conversation starter.
Social contexts can give you slightly better clues to someone else’s sexuality than their appearance. If you are too nervous to bring up sexuality directly in a conversation, here are a few other topics that might help you to figure out if she likes women.
Now let’s get to the important part: as we know, the only way to actually know how a lady identifies is by asking her. This can be an intimidating task, especially if you think she is cute and you get flustered around her. Here are some tips for how to get that conversation going without being rude or invasive of her privacy. The key here is to create a safe environment in which people around you feel comfortable discussing their identities and private lives.
