    This is one of the things that sometimes I don't like about being gay. I can't find a boyfriend, I mean where I live the guys are just idiots and I just feel like I'll never be able to find someone, and it feels like the whole entire world is straight. Am I the only one who feels this way?:help:

    Nope...
    I guess you could go to the nearest gay community, or group... Lots of social activities usually net something, even if just friends... I don't really know what else :X Just go out, i suppose?

    Hi there! First off, welcome to EC! :smilewave

    Finding a boyfriend will take some time. Sometimes it's better to wait and to wait for the right person so to speak. As the saying goes, good things happen to those who wait.

    That said, and I don't know if you are part of a LGBT social group or support group, but if you are not, it might worth while to join one. Like this you will have the opportunity to make some new friends and you might just find someone 'special' among them. Join them for social activities where you will be able to get to know people. Also, if you feel comfortable, maybe go to a gay club with a friend. The more you 'get out there' and the more you meet people, the higher the chances are that you will find someone. It might take some time, but eventually you will find someone with whom it will click. :slight_smile:

    Hope this helps a bit!

    Far from it, I'm getting close to resigning myself to becoming a crazy cat lady. But the GSA definitely won't hurt when it comes to meeting people, so give that a try :slight_smile:

    Go for it! :slight_smile:

    Some high schools have GSAs (Gay-Straight Alliance). Maybe check around and see if your school has one. If your school doesn't has one, maybe try finding a LGBT support/social groups in your community. You could also check out the PFLAG website. PFLAG has chapters across the U.S. Maybe there is one in where you live as well.

    I know the feeling, I'm experiencing it right now. My rational side is saying "Stop worrying, you'll find someone soon", while my emotional side is saying "why can't I find anyone? I need a hug" Oh well. :frowning2:

    Well the date I thought wasn't going to happen, ended up happing. I think it went fairly well. Bad news is it may be a couple of weeks before we can meet up again, as I will be out of town the next next 2 weekends. Guess if you keep plugging along something will eventually happen.

    I don't feel like this at all. But I'm 38 years old, and have had long stretches of my life when I DID feel that way.

    How old are you?
