Others have already touched on this, but I want to reinforce the point.
Searching for a boyfriend while you're still in the closet is not a good idea. Not that you're looking for an out guy anyways, but most out guys wouldn't want to date somebody in the closet. Any closeted guys in the same situation as you are going to be working through the same issues you are. You've got enough issues of your own before getting into a relationship with somebody with the same set. Sure, you might get lucky and happen to find another closet guy who clicks very well with you and ride off into the sunset together, but the chance of that happening is very, very low.
Social clubs would be a good idea if you were either out or at least comfortable with associating with other out gay men in public. You don't have to be properly out to join one of these groups or participate in their activities. Since it's a gay group, everybody will just assume you're out already anyways. If you're fine with that, it would be an excellent place to make friends.
However, the thing you would benefit most from right now would be to join a coming out support group. The office of student life or student health at your university probably has one. A local LGBT center also probably has one or can refer you to one somewhere else. Other closeted and recently out people will be in the group. It'll be confidential so you don't have to worry about being outed. You talk about your problems. They talk about theirs. It's the best shot for meeting other guys (and girls) in your situation for friends. Plus, you can work out your own personal issues with real people in real time instead of just online.
