So, since it's not exactly the easiest thing in the world to just find another gay/bi guy out in public, I feel like the best option is using an app or online dating. I've found that a majority of people in my area use online dating. A few use apps, but I've found many more on dating sites. But since I'm incredibly new to dating and even seeking people out, I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. One question I have is, if you start a conversation with someone about common interests (in my case, video games), does that send the message that you're interested in them as just a friend or potentially more? I really have no idea how to flirt because I fear that I'll sound like a creep, so I tend to just be friendly. Also, if I'm talking to someone and they suddenly stop replying, should I try sending them another message to get them talking again or will that make them think I'm being too desperate or something? Because I don't know if they stopped because the conversation hit a wall and they don't know how to respond or if they're simply not that interested.
