It's a struggle being gay in the South, especially when you're not allowed to come out because of certain circumstances. :bang: Anyways, relationships are always on my mind. I'd love to have someone close to me that I can physically see and be with, because it is EXTREMELY rare that I get that, and that's all I'm surrounded by..friends with significant others. Online though, I usually have A LOT of options to find someone to be more than friends with. Am I missing out with keeping people Online as friends and searching for someone irl, or am I just searching for someone close for no reason?
Fellow Southerner here! Anyway, there are plenty of fish in the sea, man. Just relax, take your time, and eventually you'll find someone. Where I live people are pretty supportive, but I get the circumstances you're in. Just be patient, my friend.
