    I have always been shy when it comes to getting to know people. This makes dating hard. I haven't dated a lot. I don't do clubs I'm not out going like that. I've tried the online thing a few times with no success. It's not a huge LGBT scene where I live. I just find it hard to find what I'm looking for. And I don't know where to look. And I'm bisexual so it's even harder.

    Same here. There are likely a lot more gay or bi people than we think, but here at least, they're closeted. We've needed a place for them to gather so we can feel comfortable approaching them not having to wonder if they are straight. I found a group so that helps. For a supposedly gay friendly state (Maine, and it's not as good as outsiders think) people aren't very open about it. Maine people aren't as friendly as they seem outwardly anyway. I haven't had any success online either and I've been at it a while. The last boyfriend I had came along when I least expected it, approached me first and from a place I didn't expect. I think it happens that way more often than when one is looking for it to happen. It takes meeting a lot of people. We're not that plentiful and I admit that I am particular in my likes and dislikes. I wish you well.

    When it comes to dating girls I don't know where to start because it's hard to find girls interested in other girls. For me they are either straight, taken, too old, too forward, etc. now guys i just talk to him and get know him after awhile I will know if we are compatible

    I second this opinion. Even when I was "straight" dating was a chore. It's not a gay/straight/bi/whatever thing, people genuinely just suck
