    Yes, of course it's okay to call yourself a lesbian even if you aren't sexually active or involved in a serious relationship.

    I am in a similar position. While I am open to a relationship if it happens, I have stuff to work through and I haven't even bothered searching for a romantic partner.

    Of course. Regardless of whether you're in (or want) a relationship or not, if you're attracted to women, you still have every right to call yourself a lesbian.

    You never need to have a partner to make your identity valid. I've never actually had a long term relationship before in my life, and I'm still 1000% sure I'm bi and I feel secure saying that.
