Gay guy dating apps

How Tinder is different when you’re gay

 

 

One defining main attraction of the modern lgbtq+ experience is using online dating apps. While there are some explicitly gay internet dating apps (although Grindr can only loosely be called a “dating” app), we also use Tinder and other Straight™ things.

A lot of young people contain a complicated relationship with Tinder, not just members of the LGBTQ group. It makes it a lot easier to position yourself out there and meet new people, but it takes away the meet-cute charm of bumping into the love of your life at Starbucks. Dare we say that Tinder is even more complicated for gay people? We dare.

Straight people are always surrounded by other straight people, which means they have a lot of romantic options. There aren’t that many lgbtq+ people in the society, and we are used to running out of options pretty quickly.

For some, using Tinder is a nice way to join more gay people without the stress of wondering whether they’re looking for the same thing. For others (like me — Jacob), Tinder takes away some of the charm of meeting people organically.

Introduction

“Here goes nothing”, I contemplate to myself as I once again find myself downloading the ever-daunting dating LGBTQIA+ apps that will either be a root of unparalleled happiness or spiraling doom. Dating is undeniably terrifying. The whole concept of gathering strangers and being vulnerable with them in the hopes that something comes out of that interaction, be that something a hook-up, a short or extended term relationship or maybe just even a friendship, is overwhelmingly bizarre. But the potential of that “something” maybe happening is in and of itself a truly beautiful experience. 

I constantly joke around with close friends that I am ready for a relationship. I crave the heartfelt and physical intimacy that comes with one. My friends, existence my most brutal advisors, always say the same thing, “Derek saying you want a connection is worthless if you don’t put yourself out there. In order to find a connection, you need to well, date.” And running the risk of inflating my friends&#; egos, they’re right. The only way to find someone, is by
