Chasing Straights

Dear Dyke Whisperer, Why do lesbians chase after straight women? Why don’t they chase other lesbians who they know are available?

Dear Jules,

Lesbians are attracted to women. I’ve known women who identify as “straight” yet are in long-term lesbian relationships.  Sometimes they flirt with us so we can’t/don’t resist.  Realize, also, that sometimes they chase us so it’s only polite to reciprocate.

There are some straight women who just enjoy the attention so they flirt with us.

My personal rule: Chase whomever you’re attracted to but manage your expectations with women who identify as straight or bisexual. Don’t make a pest of yourself and never make someone uncomfortable. Know when to call off the chase.
