**How does a basic, 5”0, not well-dressed girl get a girlfriend?**

Not with that attitude! Lol jk, but it is the case that finding a partner comes easier with self-confidence. None of the descriptors you used for yourself are actually things that queer women find undesirable—as long as you're emotionally available, someone will take you! At this point, finding a girlfriend is really just a matter of putting yourself out there. Dating apps are a really great place to start, especially since it can be more difficult as a queer person to find potential partners. But if that’s not your vibe, joining a super gay student club can also a great way to meet other lesbians—some notable ones are Bloomers, Venus (the all-women ultimate frisbee team), the outdoors club, Quake (hehe) and the actually gay ones like Q-ine and Penn Sappho Society. Flirting can also be difficult, but my best advice for that would be to almost treat it like a joke. Be super fake confident, be straightforward in a way that’s silly and goofy, and say flirty things that you can laugh at later. The less seriously you take it, the less intimidating it will be. Otherwise, just don’t sweat it. There are a lot of lesbians in the world, and there are also a lot of people who suck. As long as you’re a decent person, you’ll find someone.
