I'm not sure that moving to a bigger city will be the answer to your quest. Of course the sheer numbers point towards it being easier to find a date, but then again, sometimes the pearl lies within reach, it's just a question of finding it. No one knows where it'll be found (or else we'd all be happily married, lol). Keep your options open, and make it known, to your straight and gay friends, that you are looking for a relationship. Straight friends who are open- minded will often know some other gay friends whom they'd be glad for you to meet. The gay scene is not geared so much toward the long lasting relationship, even though, again, this might be precisely where you'll find one. You never know. Is there a gay support group within easy reach that you could belong to? There again, it's a question of being in the right place at the right time.
Good luck in your search, Tyrion.
Thanks for your response ;p
I am not really out, but I think that's mainly because I've felt a bit hopeless about the whole thing. I've had a very bad attitude in the past about my sexuality, and the fact that I'm disabled.. so for the longest time I kind of just ruled out any chance of having a real relationship. I've come to a point now where I realize that's just stupid.. and really one of the main things that's been holding me back is me. I'm still working on getting over the fear of coming out.. but I have a feeling if I did it wouldn't be so bad. I have fairly open minded friends.
Unfortunately though in our area we have no lgbt groups that I know of. Actually, because of where I live, I basically know about 2 gay people.. which isn't helpful lol. I've tried dating sites but those just disappoint me even further. I figure right now when I find someone I will.. but moving eventually may be a good thing. If I found someone I really liked I'd be out in a second.. but then again.. not being out could be a turn off in itself I suppose..
