Being gay and single sucks

[WasabiCookies]

So, I decided to finally post on the forums, and hopefully this is the right place to post it.

I have alot of friends, and I have alot of people who care about me. But I still feel so lonely and sad. It seems like there's this gap in my life that's missing, and I think it's because I'm single. Unfortunately, there's not many guys that live around me that are gay, so I'm forced to just suck it up and move on.

Could someone please tell me, gay or straight, does it hurt you being single? And what do you do to cope with the sadness/loneliness? Thank you.

Of course it hurts sometimes being single. I don't like to rush relationships because I like my freedom. You could always go to LGBT meetings to meet people. I myself am gay and I find that sometimes finding the right person and deeply loving them and them feeling the same for you is better than just getting some fling.

Being single can feel hard sometimes, but in reality it's only as bad as you make it. Focussing on being single is what really sucks. It may be hard but try not to think about it so much. If you can't find someone right now then it's probably just not your time yet. Being gay can make it harder that's for sure, I'm gay so I understand. Just try to enjoy your time as it is single or taken.

It's hard to ignore it though.

I go through these 'bumps', for a few weeks I'm living the life! And then for a few weeks I feel like shit and I get so depressed because I'm single.

Yeah, being single sucks... and it just adds to the whole depression... but I don't actually get my hopes up anyway... if nobody likes or wants me as a friend, what are the chances of anyone liking me as a boyfriend?...

Don't let it let you down... if you have good and close friends, you really have everything you need to not feel alone... if they are real friends, and by definition they can be trusted, they are there for you, right?

I know, but they don't feel the same way. It's different I guess.

It used to hurt me being single, it made me feel like i was even more uglier than before. But I think the best way to deal with it is surround yourself with your friends, go out and socialise. You'll find that someone soon enough and don't let it get you down :)

I'm sure there are people who like you and want you as a friend and more ;) have some faith, you'll find that someone soon :)

I know what its like to be single and feel alone. The best advice I can give u is just dont dwell on it (i know thats easier said then done) Find stuff to keep u preoccupied like friends, sports etc..., And when u least expect it youll find someone--trust me I know :)

of course being single sucks, i just broke up with my boyfirend about 30 minutes ago and im scared shitless about being single, but i saw that there was no point forcing something that was never going to work. Anyways, enough of my rambling, im in the same situation as you with not many gay guys living in my town, and most of them are taken anyways, just wait til you move off to uni and im sure you'll find someone

[MaliciousBunface]

Hmmm it does suck, obviously everyone is going to know how it feels, some will get over it quickly, some won't...as mentioned before, you could go to a LGBT thing and find people there. Try things like having fun with friends, or fun activities to keep your mind off being single, but don't try to hard...or you will think about it more. There will always be people out there for you, and hopefully you'll find a guy out there :)

Being single sucks for everyone regardless of their sexuality

Being single does suck. But so does throwing yourself into a relationship with the wrong person. Don't give up on looking for one, but just take the time to find someone right.
