Hey
I need advice on how to meet gay friends? I have friends, but they're all straight. I get on great with them but I feel like it would be good to have gay friends aswell because otherwise I'll never be able to meet potential partners etc!
The thing is I'm pretty introverted. Ive always been quiet and reserved. If someone approaches me I can hold a conversation, but otherwise I don't really start conversations. I know there are gay bars but I've never been in one, plus I'd feel a bit sad and lonely going into one by myself (and I don't really want to go in with my straight friends). So how can I meet more gay people? I literally don't have one person in my life that I'm friends with who is gay.

To meet potential partners you need to find someone with similar interests. Join a group for something that interests you. Do something social in the GLBT community.

Hello,
In this life we are all born alone with no friends and overtime our social skills we learn in life help us find the friends we have today... Now when i was 18 (nearly a decade a go i know dead scary lol) I went onto the gay scene not knowing anyone.. I was petrified to go into a pub and petrified to talk to another gay man as it was a society i was unable to accept or adapt to to begion with... After some thought you need to think rightbrowse the bars and see whats happenning in each.. Spend a day just chilling out in one and dont worry you wont be judged because your money is the same colour as their locals...
Once you found a pub you like this is now YOUR LOCAL... Dont catergorise or label pubs just find one you feel safe being in... Now in brighton we got old mens pubs, young ones pubs, drag/karoke pubs, gay fetish bars, lesbian bars, Men with more money than sense bars, bears bars, and typical back street bars all gay.... I found a small little back street gay bar and settled there mingling with p[eople and with regular visit of once or twice a week i soon found i was speaking with more and more people and they got to know me... Of course i lost friends but i also gained some... I did have a circle of about 40 friends and dropped 35 of them within six months because all they wanted was to try to get a quick fuck...
Dont go out there with all hopes in making a friend because what you havent got you cannot miss and you cannot put hope into this because if it doesnt go to plan you would only end up feeling upset... On top of that there are members on here who come on from Newcastle area... You will find them in time mister just remember
get out there dont hesistate and remember your money is as good as anyone elses...
Tip:- Try not to turn into a scene queen or else your in a vicious circle of un controllable campness and bitchy remarks....
lol
