    ...the chat to meet other gay people?

    I don't. I'm a little afraid to meet girl on internet but at the same time I'm scared to fall in love with a no gay/pansexual woman in the real life.

    And you? What do you do to meet gay people?

    Currently, I don't really meet gay people.
    I'm in my second year in highschool, and the only gay people I know is a couple that I don't really have any connection to.
    A bit sad, really. Having no gay friends can make you feel lonely at times. There's not exactly a support-group here in Norway anyway, and I wouldn't have the guts to go. Oh well =P
    With the right time, and the right place, I will meet someone.

    Yeah, I understand you very well. And I hope we'll find the right person, the true love...

    I'm too proud to try dating sites. Or rather, I hate photos, so nobody would click on me.

    Getting closer to doing this for the first time, battling constricting paranoia. Think my visit to Craigslist* this morning didn't do me any favors, though.

    *Craigslist isn't out of bounds to mention, is it? If so, apologies in advance.

    I understand where you're coming from. I have one gay friend and he's so far in the closet he could visit Narnia. I didn't put myself out there tiil i was 40, the older you are the harder it is (at least for me.)

    To be clear, EC Chat (and EC as a whole) is not the place to be looking to talk to people for the purpose of dating, hooking up, and the like.

    You bet :slight_smile: Just gotta keep the positive side up.

    Fortunately for me, I'm already out. But that doesn't mean I run around screaming it. I do wear a LBGT bracelet (which sadly doesn't get noticed, because it's winter)
    I am a moderately shy person, so to speak. I really want a boyfriend, but at the same time, that will for sure make me realise: I'm gay. I'm holding a man's hands. I kiss him, and we're flirting.

    I dunno how my future will be. My friends are starting to learn how to drive, getting jobs, and I'm too scared to try that. How do I then get a boyfriend? I think I need to develop some sense of self-importance and pride first :slight_smile:

    Many people think that getting a boyfriend/girlfriend will solve your problems and loneliness, but it will cause pain equal to love.
    I guess I'll just wait and see what happens in the future.. not really relying on getting a boyfriend anytime soon though :slight_smile: Trying to stay happy meanwhile..

    EC is the site of my first 2 same sex relationships, one from simply being active on the forum, which didn't end too well, and the other from the chat itself. That was 4 months ago, and we're still going strong.

    I've got talking with girls on chats before, but not sure I would meet someone.

    To add. You can't exchange any contact information with people. If you do you, you can risk getting suspended for 30 days. From what I understand, it's for a matter of your own safety. Don't do it! So to answer your question, nobody uses EC to meet other LGBT people to date. EC Isn't a dating site it's a support site.
