How to find someone...

Hi There,

I hope this doesn't sound really pathetic, but I really want to find a boyfriend! I'm an 18 year old gay male who's living in Manchester. i've been to canal street but I'm not really that into clubs - i'd much rather just go to a restaurant for a nice meal etc - although all my flatmates think this is far too soppy!

Where do guys meet if they don't like clubbing or S-Club?! :p:

Try the internet. Websites like Myspace, or perhaps dating websites. Some websites even specialise in gay dating.

Why not? I'm not saying it should be his first recourse, but what's the problem with it?

You're not explaining why it isn't the right way to go.

People online act differently to when they are in person (I do). So it's not the best basis to start a relationship.

Although this is true, I would say the ease with which he is going to be able to locate and talk to gay men with similar interests possibly outweighs the slight behavioural discrepancies he may encounter between online interactions and real life interactions.

I mean, I've never tried to pick another man up, but I'd imagine it's not very easy without going to gay clubs and bars, which he doesn't want to do. It's not like he's straight and has a wide selection of people to choose from and places to meet them, he's very limited. By using the internet, it eliminates the difficulty of finding potential partners.

Obviously people acting differently online is a problem, which is why it's probably best to just use those websites to find someone and have a quick chat with them, gauging their interests, before setting up a real life date.

I just think it's worth bearing in mind, that's all.
