Being a gay man and dating isn't as easy as one might think. There are so many options for gay guys and straight guys are constantly bemoaning the fact that it must be great to be gay because there are so many options to meet other guys for sex. They of course aren't bemoaning the fact that they want other guys (most of them at least), but are bemoaning the ease at which we can obtain the sex. Let's be honest, they're spot on. If you're a gay man in the 21st century, you're leaps and bounds ahead of our grandfathers in the 50's who spent most of their time loitering in parks after dark or toe tapping their way under the stall in a public restroom. Well, that is of course, if your grandfather was gay. If he wasn't gay, then he was probably drinking. Today, however, we can log onto manhunt, justguys, adam4adam, gay.com, and craigslist if desperate measures are called for. On your phone you have access to GPS oriented gay tracking devices like Grindr, Scruff, and BoyAhoy just in case you have the desire to see who else is up at 3am in your neighborhood "looking." Yes, these are all well evolved options for the new technology equipped and on-the-go gay, but do any of us actually want to meet our future boyfriend in this way? I don't know about anyone else, but meeting someone on a site intended to make finding sex easier AND more convenient gives me a bigger trust complex than Maria Shriver when she sees a Maid.
All of this being said, I am a 27 year old relatively attractive single gay man living in New York City....who is lonely. I love my life. I love my friends. I'm happy. It's just that I'd like to share it with someone. That's who I am. This is what I'm doing: This blog is meant to record my experiences as a gay man on a mission to take dating seriously..........
