Tonight I was at a store I frequently go to, and the cashier was a cute girl with a rainbow wristband. I got sort of excited when I saw it and almost said something but decided not to and I've been thinking about it ever since I left the store.

This is a huge deal for a lesbian who lives in a tiny tiny town and doesn't know any actual gay people in real life! (Well I know some who I suspect are but they're not open about it.) I don't necessarily want to go out with her (although maybe something could happen, who knows?) but it would at least be nice to have a lesbian for a friend.

I go to the store all the time so I was thinking about the next time I was there, if she was working and wearing the wristband again, commenting that I like it and maybe attempt to start a conversation? (I know that wearing a rainbow wristband doesn't necessarily mean anything but I've never seen anyone in this town wear anything rainbow and there was just this gut instinct feeling that it does mean something.) Considering how small this town is and the lack of any real gay community I feel like she might also appreciate knowing another lesbian?

Or should I just assume it doesn't mean anything and not say anything to her?

I feel dumb for not just automatically knowing what to do in this situation but what do you guys think?

Go for it! In any case, maybe you'll make a friend!

You may as well give it a shot and spark up a conversation. It might go somewhere, it might not, but if you don't try it definitely won't go anywhere.

No reason not to talk to her.

You might as well talk to her. I mean, shit, even if she isn't gay, you might as well.

Go for it, Nonnie! :D Be tactful, specially if it's a small town, but I'd say you have a good opportunity to make a friend here.

What you might want to do is comment on the bracelet without letting her know that you suspect what it means. Whether she's a lesbian or not, she'll probably be uncomfortable if she thinks you're accusing her, especially if she doesn't know you're also gay. I'd start off with something like "hey, nice bracelet" and see if she opens up about it.

I think you should totally talk to her next time you see her and eventually try to subtly work in the fact that you're into the ladies (like if she mentions a restaurant or something you enjoy, say something like "Oh, my ex-girlfriend and I used to go there all the time!" or whatever).

on a side note, it makes me kind of sad that seeing someone with a rainbow bracelet is the closest you've come to meeting another lesbian in your town. I guess I take all of the lesbians in my city for granted
