Struggling to be me

[phoenix23]

Hello

Im 21, gay and single for almost 2 years

Im struggling to be myself (gay). Im not the most confident of people im very shy and quite. i have no problem with being gay after all i am what i am. The problem i have is other people and how they will react.

I have dated 2 guys the 1st was awful the 2nd was ok and we parted as friends. I have never asked a guy out before and honestly have no idea how to do it. 1st guy i dated was afriend of a friend so she set us up. Second was online dateing site so wasnt a face to face ask out. ive been to lots of gay bars and clubs with friends for nights out etc, i have never been chatted up never chatted anyone up for that matter either in these places. My friend who is gay always gets chatted up when out. When im at these places i feel as though i dont quite belong i suppose like the runt of the litter. Its not that i dont like being there i do i just dont feel like i fit in.

I dont think the night scene is my place for meeting someone and need help with alternative ways of meeting guys (well just the one will do :p ) or even advice with the night life. Ive tried the online dateing option too and its not something id like to do again.

Any advice you can give would be great
look forward to hearing from you
Kind Regards
