Gay Dating

Where does a young 32 year old gay guy go to meet guys who after more than a one night stand? I have never had a long term relationship and feel I am destined to be alone.

My first relationship was with a guy who I met at a youth club and we became friends and had a 4 month relationship which sadly didn't last because he was more career orientated than myself and I had hobbies and he didn't but that's in the past.

I have had a few casual dates but nothing that ever lasts and I seem to meet all the wrong men all the time i.e. they can't drive, got issues and don't deal with them, fickle, separated or not out I could write a book!

I am very self reliant and independent but it would be nice to have someone to share life with and go on holiday etc.

It surely never used to be this hard to meet people before the internet? My parents certainly didn't recall dating as complicated as it is today.

I currently use Gaydar, Fitlads, Grindr and Plenty of Fish but to be honest they all have the same faces on and half of them I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. I get a lot of creepy messages from guys old enough to be my father and I find it sickening. Have looked at Meetup but doesn't do anything I am interested in. Believe me I have tried but am NOT desperate!

Just like to hear from others who are in the same boat. Thanks

Mumsnet probably wouldn't be the most likely place to go looking ??

What did you expect from posting on mumsnet? Hardly a hive for gay hook ups is it?

No experience with gay male dating I'm afraid but as a lesbian I found guardian soulmate a was good when I was looking 8 years ago. My straight female ex-flat mate met her now husband on there too. The general consensus with any orientation with OD appears to be that paid-for sites are better as they attract less timewasters. Good luck in your search!

What's wrong with a man who can't drive, or a man who is separated Grin?

Also, your parents found dating a bit easier, but as heterosexuals, they would have had a larger pool of potential dates, wouldn't they? Confused
