Yep, the title pretty much says it all. XD So, I'm 14, nearly 15, and have only come out recently due to having denied my homosexuality for a few years (NOTE: That's denying to myself - no one ever guessed). Partly due to that and partly due to simply not being ready, I hadn't really given relationships until very recently. As I'm now out (at least, to some people), I am really starting to feel ready to start a relationship. I'm not thinking about it quite yet (I'll probably leave it until at least next summer (when I'll be well into being 15)), but I'm just wondering where a guy such as myself would go to meet gay guys of my age who are also interested in relationships. Thanks for any suggestions or advice anyone can come up with! :icon_bigg
Unfortunately, there's no sure-fire way, and it can be really difficult to find someone especially when you're young. However, there is this great post about relationships that's always worth a look at!
The word "bae" annoys me. Also, I am officially old. You young whippersnappers need to get off my lawn. (seriously though, I wouldn't be able to give better advice than is what in that link Spartan posted).
You know people tell me , if you wanna find someone then stop looking for one. It'll come at the right time.
Thanks again for the feedback! However, what I think might be a better question is "how do I get to meet other gay guys/teens?" - it would help to generally just get to know some people in real life, as well as on the Internet. ---------- Post added 23rd Nov 2014 at 08:07 PM ---------- Sorry, yeah, I don't really know why I used the term bae - I normally say as a joke, but I guess I'm just not 100% comfortable with using the word boyfriend (I only came out relatively recently)!
The only suggestions I can think of are: * (if you study) a GSA or something similar * there are social or specific interest groups for lgbt teenagers in some cities - google is your friend
Bae? What's that mean, "Big-a**-elephant"? I suppose you go to Africa or Asia, maybe the zoo. I'm sorry, I felt like being a smart-butt. Honestly I have no good advice to give aside from what has already been suggested.
Haha, I love the debate about the word bae. Anyways, I think the most important thing is waiting. Become involved in a queer community and you'll be surrounded by people with the same orientation and views. I've found that in our community, we tend to have similar hobbies and interests which works out quite well. Join a gay club, like a GSA, if your school has one (or an anime club, if you're into that.) But give it time. It's important not to rush into a relationship you're not ready to have, or get into a relationship with someone who isn't right for you. (Fun fact: Bae is argued to come from either babe or an acronym for 'before anything else.' Unfortunately, it's very close to the word Bæ which is Danish for um, shit. Although 'lort' is more common. Just for anyone that wanted to know)
I met my girlfriend at a big LGBT youth conference that I was informed about through a GSA coalition between my school and some nearby schools, maybe there is something like that around you.
