Hey. ? I've been struggling to find and meet up with new people. I've been wanting to for a long time but never had the courage to do so. I am looking for companionship and perhaps my first sexual experience. I'm 30 years old and gay. I've tried dating apps on and off for several occasions over the past few years when I began to explore and accept my sexuality, and it did not work out for me.

I've been forever single in my many years on the dating scene. The longest "relationship" I had was 10 years ago and that was a mere 6 months. Anything since then has been a few dates at most, nothing close to even going steady. I would like to think I'm a pretty decent looking guy, or so I've been told. The problem is that I can't seem to find anyone I'm remotely interested in. I've gone on many dates and the conversation has ..read more
