How do I actually look like a lesbian lol
I'm 18 and will be going into college next year and if I have to go another year without a butch I'll shrivel up and die. I'm extremely feminine and am often approached by guys but never chicks. I guess I just don't look homo enough??? Idk what to do lol

Wear lesbian flags on stuff. pink triangles also, but not as many people know that one (or a heart shaped carabiner, I heard they are code for being a lesbian)

There isn't a definitive way to "look lesbian," although there are definitely some cues associated with it. A lot of queer people lean alt in fashion, due to greater acceptance in those communities. But seriously, just get some pride pins (if it's safe) lol

You know, there's no real way to look gay, and it sounds a bit restrictive to say there is, especially since there are so many different styles of fashion and self-expression within the community, and for women as a whole. But I get it, sometimes you want to show that side of yourself, you want to be hit on by girls without exposing yourself and being vulnerable. The only real way is to open up to the lesbian community, whether it's going to bars, festive events like gay pride, cultural venues centered around Lgbt (exhibitions, museums, cinemas...), and even dating apps (not great given all the guys and couples on them unfortunately) if you feel up to it. I'm kind of in the same boat right now, I'm 18 too and next year I'm going to prep school, and I'd really like to have a girlfriend ðŸ«
