Hi (I don’t know what to put here)

:flag-united-states: US Specific

I am a 25 y/o gay man in Tampa Florida and quite frankly I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve really only been in a couple relationships with men and only one that I would consider actually serious. Take a wild guess on how that one went, considering I’m here talking about it as a past event lol.

Anyway. I’m not like super in touch with the gay community so I feel like I never really meet other gay guys. I use dating apps because I’m kind of an introvert, and tbh I’m super scared of rejection if I go to a gay club and try to flirt. I don’t think I really even know how to flirt. But obviously dating apps aren’t working.

Any suggestions? People have suggested that I just engage in my hobbies with I’ll meet people with the same hobby, but uh, that’s kind of hard when my hobby is watching extreme and exploitation horror. I like going to clubs but I don’t really have anyone to go with, so I feel kind of weird going stag lol.

Sorry this is a bit of a mess! Hope I included everything but uhhh feel free to ask any questions and I’ll try to help as best I can. If you have any recommendations let me know!

Also I’m bald and I hate it so that doesn’t help
