OSA = opposite sex attracted

I just find it weird/frustrating/sad that so many lesbians don't trust their own intuition when it comes to assessing other women's sexuality and sexual interest. I think that's odd for an adult of any sexual orientation. Part of being a social animal is having/cultivating the ability to pick up on another person's attraction to you, and I've noticed that a lot of lesbians seem to lack faith in their ability to do this, and also seem to have very little tolerance for the completely normal sensation of ambiguity that EVERYONE feels when they're making this assessment. Sometimes you know right away that someone is attracted to you, but usually it takes multiple interactions to figure it out (especially with women), and I've noticed that lesbians in particular are very uncomfortable with that window of uncertainty.

I'm not basing this only on their preference for dating apps; it's something I've noticed irl as well as in internet forums. And I don't know if it's exclusive to lesbians. Gay men may be the same way but I don't know because I don't have any insight into their community.

Also you can meet people already by having established a connection via chat, making it far easir to click in person.

This isn't my experience at all, but I can see why someone might feel that way.
