Hey guys,
I haven't posted in this section for a while, since everything has been more or less smooth sailing for the past while.
Well here is the thing, it's really been hitting me recently about having no real gay friends. Bars/clubs aren't really fulfilling at all for me, and the 2 gay friends I have aren't too close so we don't get to hang out a whole lot. And let's forget about relationships more than friendships, at the moment it really seems that isn't even a possibility with my life situation.
I'm out(ish), basically everyone who needs to know knows, otherwise I don't put really put my sexuality out there, so I've found meeting other gay guys is somewhat challenging.
I do a lot of volunteering, especially dealing with ex-sex offenders, and through this work, I learned about my city's local gay support organization. I just recently ended up scanning their website, and found out they have a under 25 group. They do weekly meetings, with various activities, plus have counselors on site as well. I just fired off an email inquiring, hoping that it's something to fit in my schedule. If it does, I am really excited to go check it out!
I feel like it's going to be a big step for me to get out there and meet people. I've always been a bit nervous about this sort of thing, but for some reason, I've starting thinking to myself "What is there to lose?", and "You have to make the effort to get things going better in your life".
Anyways, since I've been thinking about it a lot, I thought I'd write up about it. Hopefully anyone who has had experience with these sort of groups can put their two-cents in! I'd love to hear about it! I hope to follow up at a later date with my own stories!
