Hi Guys!

I just joined JUB. I am 61 and just thinking of coming out. I've spent most of my life in the closet and the thoughts of coming out in any way is scary to me. I don't even know where to begin or what to do. I don't even know if at my age I could ever think of finding any one. Is it too late for me?

Thanks for any advice
 
hello! congrats on coming out! welcome.... its never too late. It's never to late to do anything!
 
It's never too late.

I have a good friend who came out when his wife died. He was 65. His four daughters took it great and were very supportive of him finding himself and someone to share the rest of his life with. He sowed some wild oats for a while and then settled down with a very nice man in his 30's. They adore each other and make a great couple.

The sky's the limit, once you remove any ceilings above your head. Go for it, and good luck.
 
As others have said, it's never too late. There are plenty of single guys in your age group and many have been in your shoes not too long ago. Don't worry about fitting in with the gay community (whatever that is).
 
Welcome to JUB! :wave:

How do you come out? Well, first, you come out to yourself. If you can look in the mirror and say "I'm gay" without flinching, you've done that part.

Next, you start being honest with your friends and family. Tell them you're interested in finding a boyfriend. And then, go looking for one. :)

Coming out is very freeing, it's like lifting a weight off your sholder. I hope you enjoy your coming out. I'm not sure about where you are from, but here we have a group called the Prime Timers it's for those who are 40 +. Maybe your local gay community has something like that, this would be a good place to start a new friendship or a possible relationship.
Best Of Luck!..|
 
As for finding someone, it certainly isn't too late. Would 61 be too old to find a woman? Richard Simmons is 60 and single! Actually it seems like whenever I take a look at the gay personal ads in my city, they're for men over 60.

First, though, you have to come out. This is best done in phases. First you should find someone close to you to be the first person to tell for me it was my (female) best friend. That will help you to get your footing so you can tell everyone else.
