    I've Only Been 'Out' For About 2 Months Now, So I've Been Too Busy Telling People I'm Gay, To Find A Boyfriend.
    I Have A Gay Friend Who I Like, But He's Make It Obvious He Will Never Go Out With Me.
    So Now I'm Really Ready To Find A Boyfriend, So I've Got Two Questions.

    1) I Have A Poor 'Gaydar' So How Do You [Yes You] Tell If Someone Is Gay?

    2) After Introducing Myself I Sometimes Find It Hard To Find Thinks To Talk About, So Have You [Yes You Again] Got Any Pick Up Lines That Work For You?

    Thank You.

    you don't need to use a capital for each word. only each sentence :wink:
    1)I usually amuse myself trying to find gays. I found my feet were the main giveaway for me. I kept crossing them, rather than keep them open, like many teenage boys do. I usually look out for them. I find very little people do it casually, but I don't look all the time :3
    however, as I am not out and am not good confrontation-wise, I never know if they are or not.
    2)no tips there :S

    Hi there! Well with some you can tell that they are gay but with others you simply can't. I think your best bet would be to join a LGBT youth group in your community or a GSA at school. The chances of finding gay youths in them go up dramatically! :wink: Plus, it is a safe way of finding someone.

    By joining you will get to know others and maybe you will also be able to find someone with whom it will click. Maybe ask your gay friend if he knows of a couple of good hang out spots for gay youths.

    Once you have introduced yourself, just talk about whatever you want to talk about, school, movies, random things.... Try to get into a conversation where you can get to know the other person. If you find someone that you like, give it a shot and just ask if he wants to go to a movie or grab a bite to eat with you and take it from there.

    Hope this helps!

    1. Go where the gay guys are.
    2. Get to know them as friends first. It takes longer, but it builds a more stable foundation.

    Some really bad pick up lines: "Are you wearing mirrored pants, because I can see myself in them." and "Grab your coat, you've pulled."

    Sorry, I did say they were bad :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I dont act gay but openly tell people I am bi. uhh gaydar can be tricky in my experiences but I have assumed just by the way people walk. there was a study, I cant even remember if I read it here or another website, but 70% of people could tell who was straight and gay jus by watching people walk in videos... also I jus start basic when it comes to talking, "what are you into/do for fun" etc.

    That is actually a good idea to look out for! I guess I have been catching myself crossing my legs as well, which I hope is a dead giveaway for anyone looking! :lol:

    I have the same problem with finding others just a gay friend but nothing so Lex where do the gays go?

    hi
    yeh am in similar position with the whole wanting a boyfriend but not knowing gay guys, so u r not alone i guess however at least u r out to everybody, so in time it might get easier to meet guys?and tbh i'm not sure about the whole leg-crossing thing, i know plenty of straight guys that do that, and i don't!

    it just all depends on what you dare to do... although it might sound lame, I met my boyfriend over the internet, we met one day as friends not intending to date and we just fell in love. If you dont really want to go where the gay people are like me that might be a good try, although you have to be careful for fakers which does suck...

    As for pick up lines I would suggest making friends first, if you fall in love and the other does as well you'll notice, don't worry about that and don't force a relation, thats doomed to fail :icon_wink

    Gay clubs, gay bars, gay support groups, gay social groups, and "things in the gay section of town", where applicable.

    say something nice, like, you look great in those pants, but you'd look way better out of them

    or, if i was a fly, i would land on you. cause you're "the shit"


    as for meeting them in the first place...im as lost as you :confused:
