Hi, this is my first attempt to say that I am gay. I think nobody knows i am gay. The culture I come from doesn't allow to be gay. So until now I wasn't daring to find gay friends or partner. But now I am feeling like I will die living false life & will regret forever if I don't act now. I am trying to find someone around me who is gay as well. But no success yet.
How I can find reliable & trustworthy gay friends. I am scared to search online as I have heard not many good things.
Can anyone suggest me a way to find friends? Or are there safe sites for this? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

can you really use tinder to find gay friends I want to find a gay friend too but I thought that tinder is only for hook ups or wanting a partner?

Hi Keypi, it is what you make of it. You may meet people for dates that you're not interested in romantically (or vice versa) but get on really well with as mates. If you keep an open mind, are honest in your communication, and accept that it takes many misses to get a hit then it's a good option and opens you up to a wider range of people than you'll find in bars and clubs.

Thanks Marcus_c, thats good advice I'm not really that good with technology and don't really use social media so don't really know much about these things. I have to check it out and see what comes of it. 🙂
