๐Ÿ’ญ Before you start

What Your Score Means

10-15

๐Ÿ’š Low Likelihood

The signs you’re noticing are minimal. She likely is straight and attracted to you. The issues you’re feeling might be about something else in the relationship.

16-22

๐Ÿ’› Mixed Signals

There are some signs worth paying attention to, but nothing definitive. She could be questioning, bisexual, or just have a personality that doesn’t fit stereotypes. Open conversation is the next step.

23-30

๐Ÿงก Higher Likelihood

Multiple signs point to her possibly being gay or questioning. The lack of intimacy, the emotional connections elsewhere, the interest in LGBTQ+ culture โ€” these patterns mean it’s time for an honest conversation.

๐Ÿ’ฌ How to talk about this

DO: “I love you and I want us to be honest with each other. I’ve noticed some things and I’m wondering how you’re feeling about our relationship and about yourself.”

DON’T: “Are you gay? Just tell me the truth.” This feels like an accusation, not a conversation.

DO: Create a safe space. “Whatever you tell me, I’ll handle it with care. Your happiness matters to me.”

REMEMBER: She might not know herself yet. Sexuality is a journey, not a destination. Be patient.
