I am sure this has been posted numerous times throughout this forum, but I would like some advice on how to find and start a relationship. I am almost 30 and have only recently decided to forgo my religious teachings and live my life as a gay man. I may be putting the cart before the horse, but how does one go about meeting other gay guys? I live in the rural south where the pickings are slim. Bars have never been my favorite places and the internet isn't yielding the results I'd hoped.

Any advice, suggestions, or thoughts would be appreciated.

Sites like this are great for intellectual banter. For the hotties, an opportunity for a romp may even present itself here n' there.

However, my advice, or: What works for me: Get out there. Go where you KNOW single guys socialize. When I get out of the house, I get approached.

If I waited for a dating opportunity to come via an online forum, I'd be waiting a long while.

Another thing to possibly think about is moving. Gay men tend to be in big metropolitan areas. You'd definitely have better luck in a big city, probably on one of the coasts.

The guy who wrote right before me is right. You tend to find a guy when you're not looking. That's when I found my boyfriend

Truer words were never spoken! Look for gay friends, not a relationship, and you'll end up finding both.
