    Personally, I think social groups or LGBT interest groups are some of the best places.

    Back when I was dating i met people everywhere: work, volunteering, book group, the beach, the grocery store, coffee houses, concerts--and actually lots of people at the gym (that was a favorite of mine). The one that took--and we've been together for 17 years--I met in a gay bar. What can I say? It's a classic.

    Ahh but where to find the "gay" places if you aren't into the club scene and you live in a rural area.
     
  6. ah, not sure about your area. im totally not into the clubbing scene at all. but theres this long strip of clubs with cafes/pubs dotted about in between them so i go there. its not near me and i travel about 3-4 hours to get there but its worth it. (i realise that actually sounds super lame haha but i usually go down for a gig and end up those places of a night. theres none in my town at all i live in the middle of nowhere)

    try and find some lgbt cafes/pubs! much quieter and nicer atmosphere i find and pub quizzes are good fun if its quiz night :slight_smile:

    Alot of people meet each other on apps/dating sites, so I would say that is a good place to start. I want to meet people but I am still abit apprehensive about it all...

    I thought so too but when I went to my local lgbt center they didn't seem to understand why I was there or offer to introduce me to any groups or people.

    I don't really meet potential mates. Sometimes I find them when I go to midnight releases at GameStop. I almost never see others at local metal shows. If they are, they are most likely closeted like me. My friends suggest gay bars like the local one in town, but I don't like bars. Or gay bars either. I hate the atmosphere.

    But maybe a nerd like me can find someone at another GameStop midnight release or Comic-Con or Anime-Con. Who knows.
