Are you a gay teen and looking for a boyfriend?It can be hard to develop something serious if you are not in the world.Most teens have trouble dating and you are no exception.
Step 1: Come back.
You will no longer have a burden when you come out with your sexuality.It is difficult to meet other people if you don't know your situation.For many, coming out is attractive.This can be very difficult for some.Seek out a friend who knows the truth.It can be painful for some conservative families to not support this.If you're in this situation, it's a good idea to come out to a group.It's always a good idea to consider if it will be more harmful than helpful.
Step 2: Consider people who are out.
It's easier to find someone who has already come out than it is to look through a haystack.Getting to know this person could help introduce you to others, even if you don't want a relationship.
Step 3: You can join a group.
You can start a gay/straight alliance at your school.You can find friendly organizations such as art or theater.Find a guy that you can hang around with.Make him your friend and hang out a lot.
Step 4: Do you want a relationship?
Make sure you go through with it.Sometimes people make decisions that they don't think through and it hurts them in the long run.It's important that you're ready for a relationship.Don't rush into a relationship for the sake of it.Sex is important in a relationship if you communicate properly and do it safely.If not dealt with maturely, a relationship based solely on sex can be very rocky.
Step 5: Seek guidance.
If you know an older LGBT person, you should seek their advice.They can instill a lot of reassurance by telling their struggles as a young person.There are many counseling services in schools that have a faculty member who specializes in this type of advice.
Step 6: Understand the difficulties.
Gay teens who may not have felt comfortable coming out to their community can be connected with online dating.It is always a risk to operate romance on the internet.Some people don't represent themselves well online.If you are going to meet someone for the first time, you should meet in a public place.There are cruel people out there who will try to exploit you.Look for their Facebook to see if they're who they say they are.
Step 7: Pick a trustworthy site.
There are many dating sites that cater to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer community.Guys looking for guys can find a thriving community on sites that have success with straight couples.Some sites are known for hook ups and not for lasting relationships.Be honest in your profile if you consider a site like this.
Step 8: You can create a profile.
Honesty is what you're looking for in a guy.A lot of these sites ask questions that match people up based on interests.You should be honest to find someone compatible with you.
Step 9: Pick a place to go for a date.
When you match with someone, you should give them a place to meet.A walk for a first date is a good idea.It is good to walk through a park.It isn't making you feel like you're trapped in a coffee shop.Once you've been talking for a week, ask them if they'd like to meet up.They may not be ready for a relationship if you give them a vague answer.
Step 10: Determine if he is interested.
It can be difficult for some people to read other people's feelings.You can look for certain signals when you know he is gay.If he says: Compliments you, be on the lookout for these signs.Tries to impress you.Casually touches you.He talked about his personal life.He invites you into his plans.
Step 11: Understand the game of predating.
Before you can get involved with someone, you have to go through a dance with them.There are a lot of steps you have to go through before you can talk to each other about your feelings.It happens in almost every relationship.
Step 12: Don't go too fast.
This can't be stressed out enough.If he puts out signs that he likes you, hold off.That might be his natural tendency.You should be able to feel out the situation before committing.Your gut is probably right if you think he likes you.By the way he looks at you, you can tell.Eye contact is a good indicator of attraction.If the guy gives you a lot of attention in real life, flirts on social media, or simply calls or texts you out of the blue are other things you could look for.
Step 13: Give him some space.
Don't be around him all the time.It can be hard to like someone.You don't want him to think that you're desperate or dependent on him.When on a date, only shower him with attention when it's casual.You'll get comfortable around him after a while.Don't make him your best-friend-in-the-world.You don't want that kind of relationship.
Step 14: Pick your dates carefully.
Go for a walk or see a movie.If you do it at least every other weekend, you don't have to do this every weekend.If you feel like you're being "clingy", lay off for a while.Unless you don't like him, be his friend.If you lose feelings for him, tell him straight up.
Step 15: Have a conversation with your partner.
If he likes you, you should go to a place where you can talk like a coffee shop.Tell him about your feelings.Tell him what you want.Try saying something like, "I know we've been hanging out for awhile now, and I wanted to tell you that I like you." "After getting to know you the last couple of weeks, I have begun developing feelings for you"
Step 16: Keep calm.
Don't get nervous when you ask him out.Try to hide it.It doesn't matter if you are nervous or not.He is as nervous as you are.
Step 17: Allow him to make a decision.
It can go either way, but you should be proud of yourself.It is not easy for everyone to make it this far.You should celebrate if he says yes.You guys are free to be in a loving relationship.Don't be upset if he says no.Talk about how you want to be friends.You can ask him if he still wants to be friends.Don't feel like you have to hide the truth.The time is now to put everything on the table.
Step 18: Have a good time!
There are things in a relationship that are not drama.When something is funny, joke around with each other.This will bring your relationship to another level.
