Try a site like Planet Out...met my partner there 5 years ago. And do not look for a relationship--you will not find it. Date. See where it goes. Don't "fall in love" on the second date. Don't expect perfection. And remember that it's hard for straight men and women too.

Life is complicated, and there is no "one size fits all" relationship. If folks want a 3 way, so what? If people have an open relationship, who cares? Honesty and maturity are what matter.What bothers me is the unsafe sex...sorry, I've had too many friends and one partner die...barebacking=death.

And oh yeah-- One last thing about looking for a relationship!

As the Pet Shop Boys said so well in "Love Comes Quickly":

"Just when you least expect it, it's just what you least expect!"

i also met my partner on the internet. thank god for yahoo personal ads! we emailed, chatted, phoned, and finally met and have been together ever since. (7.5 years and a lifetime commitment.) SO the on-line thing CAN happen

It can happen any which way. Usually when you least expect it.

The thing with the internet is not to go to the first 'date' expecting to click right away. I think that's a mistake a lot of people do. I also try to meet during an activity, instead of for coffee or a bar. My best friend and I met by taking the dogs to the dog park. Another friend and I met by going to the Ski Expo. My ex and I spent our first 'date' sitting on a park beach infront of the Puget Sound...

Get yourself involved in volunteer activities that gay men might be involved in: community theater, art galleries, garden clubs, and (yes!) church activities.

People who volunteer for worthy causes tend to be of better quality.

When I was in your age range (18-25)a week was a long term relationship for me. Enjoy life, being a slut is great when you're young, someone sooner or later will "click" and a relationship might bloom. Don't hurry it, you're only young once.

Um...

I met my partner at Starbucks. He made me coffee. His name is Taylor. No lie. We just started talking one day about a year and a half ago, and we're still here, telling Tom Cruise to shut up and go back to being pretty.

I'm not "looking" anymore, but it's no easier for the women either-especially when you have no desire to sit in a bar....

Umm..except it wouldn't be fun to get an STD

I met my man online and it's been 3 years. Of course, we actually started going out after we met in person, instead of having a online-romance.
One must not limit themselves to bars/chatrooms, etc. There are plenty of options.
1. They have plenty of matchmaking websites that aren't chatrooms.
2. Ever consider volunteer work? You can actually meet a lot of nice guys, especially when it deals with volunteeing for anything.
