I appreciate the replies, but that's just the point; sticking to what I love to do day to day isn't cutting it for meeting people. I'm not naive enough to think that no homos will show up where I am, but how the fuck do I find them? I have the faultiest gaydar on the planet, and I'm apparently well-concealed myself, so I'm like the blind looking for the invisible. Or something. That was a terrible analogy.
Online seemed to be the only safe way to find people who prefer not to announce their sexual orientation with their dress code or their choice of venue for Saturday night, and it's turned into a trainwreck.
I haven't really had more than one date with anyone before tiring of them, lol. Every last one has been rah-rah queers activist, ridiculously effeminate or ready to hop in the sack right away (which I took advantage of, but ended up regretting later).
I've just about given up, and I'm 24. There have to be some normals out there? I'm so fucking tired of seeing everyone around me fall in love and into relationships without even trying.
To add insult to injury, my best friend just had his 1-year anniversary with his girlfriend, and they were practically unbeknownst high-school sweethearts for the last seven years. I never even see the guy anymore because he's too busy being happy doing ho's before bros, and I mean, I'm happy for him, but we used to commiserate together for eons about our poor luck with relationships and dating and swore we'd never shut each other out, and here we are, after I practically had to push them together to realize they loved each other. It's like a really bad sitcom, but the nice guy is finishing last.
Dude knew how much Pride and the parade mattered to me this year (was my first year going to it), swore months back he'd come with me so I wouldn't have to be down there alone, and ditched me with 'work' (aka the gf) piling up on his schedule when the weekend arrived.
Kill me.
