Although there maybe a small chance the person you like maybe a straight guy, so I'd read all the signs first.


A night in the Castro? I think I'd have to shoot myself first. :lol:

I think I'd have more fun starting out GSAs around campus. But the fact is, finding gay extroverted science nerds is quite hard (and may not be wholeheartedly worth my time). :roll:

I met like, 6 million cool gay people by volunteering at my university's LGBT Drop-in Centre . . . school clubs are probably a good way to meet gay people. Actually I know alot of people who use Grindr, the gay casual sex hook-up Iphone app., to meet people to go on coffee dates with. Indirect/online options are a major blessing to gay people, in contrast to the crazy stuff gay guys used to have to do to meet eachother. And given its straightforwardness in contrast with RL where there are no real gay dating pools, there's probably more extroverted people on OKcupid than you think. There's alot of people nowadays who are extroverted but also really Internet savvy/absorbed.

I actually have much fewer problems with GSAs. That said, we don't have an LGBT Drop-in Centre on campus The problem with the gayborhood is that the Castro is full of old people. Creepy old people. And the 18+ clubs around SF are just terrible. Mind you, I only contacted one, maybe two people, via OkCupid, and it was just meh. Not bad, but not great. Still, the main issue is just that I'm not looking for anyone, and even less time for a relationship. But, yeah, if I were looking, I'd probably begin at my school's GSA. It's just a lounge that's open all the time, and I have stopped there on occasion.

I'm on OKcupid, but I'm currently seeing someone right now. My inbox is probably full with a lot of people interested in me... I'll get to them eventually...

been chatting there with an atheist local girl for a while, she got disappeared after i showed her my pic (3 small messages in a row (ie. "how are you doing") - one each day, no reply to any of them = ignoring). She's being visibly online there so often.

Of course your inbox will be full and a lot of people would be interested in you there ^_^ (making a face like your avatar).

(hyperlexian and co. won't like this) You are a girl.

Thinking I'm getting off OkC soon, this seems like a waste of time. I'm not getting matched with anyone remotely interesting anymore thanks to their bs attractiveness scale. If you are reasonably good looking but not the least bit shallow, OkC may not be for you...

I haven't got a message there in weeks. My last message was from a guy asking me what my fave dinosaur was. Other things about him lead me to believe he had permanently reverted back to childhood :?

It doesn't help that I don't live near any capital cities but get matched with guys who do, and they're only interested in local girls.

I personally think online dating is a waste of time, two years on OKcupid, all I got was gold diggers, crazies(I don't mean eccentric people, someone actually asked me to help kill her dad), and serial daters. Its much better to go out and meet people IRL, its free, you can see if you click before you date, and you can see them in the flesh no fake pics.
