If you live outside a popular gay populated area, where there are not LGTB alliances, gay sports clubs, gay gyms, etc, where do you meet people?
I'm particulary asking those that lived/grow up in small towns, you know the kind of place where you might think you are the only one, even though you know you can not be.
So far this is my story: I've met some people through Facebook, but those aren't real conections, at University I know some gay guys that are friends of some friends but I have nothing in common with them. (almost)
as I mention there aren't Gay alliances or sports clubs, trame around for me to join. Is my only alternative to meet people the Gay Bars? I'm not really a party boy, I cant count with one hands the times I've gone to clubs (straight) so I'm a little reluctant to go to gay ones.
I've hear some stuff, which I know are probably untrue, like everyone there just want sex, the first time you go there you'll be seen as FRESH MEET, add to those the fact that I have no one to go with!! I know that should I go alone to a gay bar, everyone will asume Im just there for sex.
Recently I was invited via FB to a semi-private party, I kind of want to go, but I have the same issue "going alone" do you think is a good Idea?
Again, please share annecdotes, experiences and stories about what you used to do to meet people? How did you met your best gay friends? Thanks in advance guys.
