Any pointers for a girl in her first lesbian relationship?
Hi I'm new here so please be kind x Today was a big day for me, I'm 14 years old and I was asked out by my best friend of two years who has just recently came out, I always have had a bit of a crush on her so I was thrilled
this is my first lesbian relationship and was wondering if anyone had any tips for me, it would be much appreciated. Thanks x

Aw, congratulations! That's a big deal, and a great thing! 
You know, there aren't really things anyone does differently in queer relationships. All the same stuff people do to have happy, healthy, mutually beneficial relationships apply to queer relationships. Would you like me to hook you up with some content about healthy relationships and dating?
Too, if you lead with the happyhappyjoyjoy you have going on now, that's always a super big player in relationships that everyone in them enjoys.

Re: Any pointers for a girl in her first lesbian relationship?
Congrats! I'm bi (well bi curious anyway). I've been with another girl before and I'll admit it was pretty fun. I have a boyfriend now, and I kinda figured at one point that he'd think I was weird when I told him about it, but he didn't have any problem at all, and said it's great that I'm comfortable. Heather said what I would've said: other than the fact that it's a same sex relationship, there's nothing else different. It's still a relationship. Be yourself and have fun! It's not like you can't do certain relationship-y things. I've been in one same sex relationship before, and it went well, so feel free to ask if you want any other help
Good luck

I'd add one more to that list that I think might be a particularly good fit for you: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/gende ... ing_a_girl
