Sure. Wanting/needing companionship is common to most people, especially when it seems like everyone else is paired off. There isn't a trick to getting/finding such a companion, but being out and meeting other gay people is a good start. Just pay attention, see if you click with someone, etc, etc. In the meantime, use your friends. Ideally, a bf should be a supplement to strong, existing friendships, not a replacement or substitute.

 

There's nothing wrong with wanting a boyfriend, or actively looking for one. The danger is in wanting one so bad that you'll willingly take the first available guy simply because "I don't want to be alone anymore". This makes you prime breeding ground for dysfunctional and/or using relationships, where a guy treats you lousy or cheats on you, but you put up with it because "at least it's better than being alone". Because it isn't. A good healthy relationship isn't two broken people who can't function on their own. It's two already-complete people who synergize into something even better when they're together.

First move - work on yourself. Work on YOU loving you. Because the more you do, the easier it becomes for others to do so.
