Any LGBTQ+ individual is welcome to respond. Your opinion is valid, but my gay men out there, what're your thoughts on being gay and dating? Do you find it easy? Hard? Any wild stories?

Dating? What's that? If it wasn't for the internet I'd have no love life.

I was in 7th grade, a few days after my birthday I got a message from a girl wishing me a "late happy birthday" and started flirting with me. She was a friend of a friend. I liked her back and we hit it off, but as soon as we met we didn't have anything to talk about. That continued for every other meetup. I didn't wanna rush into a relationship without knowing if we can even communicate normally. She didn't understand and was pushing me into a relationship (like asking every single day), that bugged me off, so I ended communication. I think her friends hate me now.

the last relationship i was in was 2 years ago. I haven't been able to go on a date since then and i can't stop thinking about that dude. I've tried dates since then, maybe had 2 but they didn't lead to anything at all. I kinda just gave up on trying and am focused on money and my career, no time for heartbreaks or bullshit.

Currently it's awful being a gay man and dating where I live. I live in the middle of nowhere and it's a very bigoted area. A lot of people here don't take kind to LGBTQ+ Folk so I haven't really been able to venture out and explore more.

lesbian who hasnt been in a relationship in over 3 years, and I'm probably gonna keep it that way for now. dating's not necessarily hard, but it's a quite frustrating social process that can really drain you if you're at it for a while. In the periods of times I tried to go on dates again, I could only keep up with it for a month before I burnt out and deleted my dating apps. as of about a year ago i permanently deleted all my dating app profiles and am just spending time with friends and trying to grow as a person.
unfortunately dont have any wild date stories to share though

My idea on dating is you don't have to if you don't want to, let's be real hafe of the time anyone trys dating it's because they wanna feel normal I have, dated someone before but it didn't end well

Imo, I love the idea of being in a relationship w someone, but I just cant do long distance, toooo many trust issues and not having physical touch would kill me :(

I really want a girlfriend but whenever i actually have a talking stage or something close to a relationship i always want attention or I'm always thinking about them. My whole life becomes about them and in everything I do its for them even if they aren't around. I feel like i get really annoying and no one wants to be around someone who only thinks about them, and i know it makes them upset and affects them also but it makes me upset because i don't want to keep relying on someone in order to feel okay. Relationships should have boundaries and mutual respect but instead i look up to them and genuinely need them for everything. D:
