Chapter Four: One Step Forward

A few days after that conversation, I found myself thinking.

Yes… I liked girls.

But now what?

It’s not like people walk around with signs saying “Hey, I’m a lesbian too.” There’s no label, no mark, nothing that makes it obvious.

And being demisexual didn’t make things any easier. I couldn’t just like someone instantly. I needed a connection. Time. Something real.

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became.

I was honestly starting to lose my mind.

Then it hit me.

Dating apps.

Maybe… I could try that.

I quickly grabbed my phone and searched for a good lesbian dating app. After scrolling for a bit, I finally found one that seemed decent.

I downloaded it.

Installed it.

And then… I froze.

The amount of information they were asking for just to create a profile made my chest tighten.

Did I really have to put all of that out there?

I hadn’t even come out yet. Only one person knew.

I wasn’t ready for everyone else to find out.

Not yet.

A wave of panic washed over me.

This was crazy.

Maybe I should just drop it.

Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.

…So what was I supposed to do?
