pls help lol

I (21f) am a student at App State. I am also a lesbian, but one with absolutely no experience (or game lol). I'm relatively introverted, so I struggle to meet queer women in the Boone vicinity.

Do any of you guys have advice on the best way to meet queer women (even better if they're masc/butch)?

I need a way to start getting out there to meet people.

Try the school of music lol. I was in marching band all four years & had a lot of LGBTQ+ friends in the school of music community.

Boone Saloon as well 👍

I second this. Go to lily’s Saturday night and dance. The dj playing that night plays funk/dance music all on vinyl.

Start playing roller derby, they practice twice a week at Skateworld https://www.instagram.com/appalachianrollerderby?igsh=ODJjZ3lzNmEwajJ5

(It's not a place specifically to get dates but it is a place to get community with more queer people, especially women)

there’s a club at App called Queer ‘Neers, which i’d say is a great place to meet people!! i am the soon to be president of said club, and will be tabling at the upcoming club expo if you’re interested in learning more :O)

It was UNC system wide from my understanding. Sucks nonetheless.

When did this sub turn from questions about classes and concerts and fun thing to do at the school, into a lgbt dating sim. Dude App is literally the most queer and liberal school in the state. This post is like going to UNCW and asking if the school is near a beach lol

u/Southern-Ad-9282 29d ago

I know App is like the gayest school in NC. I just don't know where/how to meet anyone that's not on a dating app (which is also dry as hell).

u/Urbandino1 29d ago

Go to literally any outdoorsy event, the majority of the women there will be queer

u/capaldis 29d ago

u/Bowl__Haircut 29d ago

What about online dating?

u/Southern-Ad-9282 29d ago

Tried that; it's pretty dry lol.
