Lesbians, did you ever pretend to be straight?

And how did you go about it?

no.

"No" and "it's just me..." -- that's remarkably vague so let me explain.

I never pretended to be straight. That said, people end up mistaking me for being straight all the time. They say I "look straight" -- whatever that means. I personally find it annoying because men end up being attracted to me quite often, thinking I'm single and straight, when I just want to be their friends (I really do because I want friends). I'm a bit on the innocent/clueless side so I think they want to be my friends too... Often times, both parties get hurt and it's not fun. Women, on the other hand, don't seem to socialize with me in that way at all -- or at least I never notice if they do (again, I'm a bit clueless so it could be that)

So, on my end I suppose it's completely unintentional. This is just who I am, though. If someone asks, I clarify. I mean, I don't jump and say I'm a lesbian before even telling someone my first name but that's just because I've had people be really hateful to me about it. People are usually more understanding when they see me as a person first.

I'm not sure that answers things but it's the best I can do. I'm just not the pretending type. I always try to be very honest -- it comes more natural to me.
