Any tips on dating? I’m gay and struggle dating cause I’m partially in the closet. Don’t even know where to start, and grindr and scruff aren’t helpful 😭

And the gay community doesn’t help, all they want to do is hookup

Precisely. I only have grindr and no other gay apps, but sick of it and once you’ve seen one - you’ve seen them all I am sure. If someone created a true dating app without the nude/pornographic nonsense for gays, I’d be very very grateful to that person.

It has been a struggle. I date someone and they don’t understand busy season hours. I like my job and gays in accounting or business are few and far in between

My story, and I’m really dating myself. I didn’t have a relationship until I was 40. I had a lot of sex, and maybe, if I push it, one boyfriend in my 20s. This was the AIDS era, and a lot of people didn’t think that they were going to live. But at 40, via match.com and the AOL chat rooms ( that’s the dating myself part), I met my husband. We’ve been together for 14 years, and married since 2006, I think. He knows dates better than I do. He is a classical musician, and I am a banker. Perfect. So, my point is, you never know how or when you might meet someone. If you can’t stand the apps, then join a meet up group. You have to have at least a toe in the water. If you never leave your office or apartment, that’s not going to help. And people in other professions work long hours too. My overall point is if could happen to me, it can happen to you. You just don’t know when. And relationships are not necessarily easy. Understand what you’re singing up for

Get out to the gay bars or gay coffee shops in your area. Meet someone live! I met my now partner when he was working at a bank and I was dating his co-worker. If I hadn’t stopped in one day....

Thank you

Finding someone that doesn’t just want to hookup is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Gay Dating apps are infested with creeps who just want to hook up or catfish you. I know your struggle and wish you well

Additionally, when people consider dating someone seriously, they would want that person to feel confident introducing them to their friends/coworkers/family. If you’re partially in the closet I can see that that might not work out well

Thank you, Citigroup 1...I must say I was skipping words after the banker part - suit & tie, sooo sexy 😱, Jesus...I must pick up accordion or something 🙃. But honestly, you are right, we sit and whine here and continue with our set ways hoping for a different result every day. The formula for the stupid I guess...or lazy 😒. The problem is with all this tech in place people forgot how to be social these days...I think that is the main hurdle.

^lmao PwC 1 you sound parched 😂

Oh great, PwC 😏, definitely was not going for that vibe 😬...I just hate random hook ups and form without substance. Above was just a hint of humor (first part).

Do you agree with this? I think it’s true due to social pressure on women to derive a value based on how desirable they are to men and whether or not, they are partnered with a man.

30 m ny/nj. US citizen. Moved as a teenager. INTJ. Single since I figured I’m not fighting the biological clock and have all the time in the world to meet someone and get settled. Things changed after I watched Akshay’s mom (Indian Matchmaking) tell him even 25 is too late and not marrying somehow messes up lives of people around him. While the show was staged, there might be truth to the latter part.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?
