Sorry to interrupt everyone's conversation lol, but I guess I need a little input.
I came out very recently. I'm 19, and I'm going to be a junior in college this year. My family and close friends have been pretty supportive, that's not the issue. The problem is, I have no idea how to function in a 'gay' atmosphere. I have very few gay friends, I don't know where or how to meet any gay guys, and even if I did I don't have the first clue how to date one. I mean I've dated a plethora of girls in my life but none of them had any real meaning, I didn't have any real emotional investment in them.
Plus, you can add to that I'm very picky, I don't want to date some flamboyant guy but at the same time I don't want to date some closeted macho guy.
I just don't know what to do and feel kind of lost. And all of a sudden I have 19 years of unresolved emotions rushing in and I want to hurry the process, even though I know I can't. Any ideas?
