Gay and Lesbian Dating Tips

Is there a difference between homosexuals dating compared to heterosexuals? Actually there isn’t really a difference except maybe just a few obstacles to consider. For any two individuals dating can be exciting, fun, nerve wrecking, stressful, thrilling, heart aching, wonderful, and all sorts of feelings. For gays and lesbians that are either dating or trying to find the right person here are some tips to help you on your dating journey.

Tip #1: When Dating Go to a place that both of you will be comfortable and feel safe

When going out you and your date should talk about where you would like to go. Depending on the person their comfort level may be different from yours. Some people may not be out to others, some people may be out to everyone. That is why it is good to discuss what places you both like in common so you both will feel relaxed and safe.

Tip #2: Don’t expect things but just let them happen

Some people go into a date expecting something from the other person. One of the main reasons people date are to get to know other people that they like or are interested in. When dating you never should expect anything from the person you are going with. Not expecting anything makes the date fun because that way you never know what will happen, and surprises are always fun. Who knows you may get a kiss at the end of the date or you may get a second date. The main thing is to just let the date happen.

Tip #3: Be Yourself

This may sound redundant but when going on a date a person should always be themselves. Why try to be someone you are not? You don’t need to impress anyone by being someone else. Plus you will feel less stressful if you just act how you always do. If you’re date doesn’t like you for who you are then you need to find another date.

Tip #4: Be Safe

When dating you should be safe not only while going out to places but also in a sexual sense. When meeting you’re date for the first time it is always a good idea to go to a public place, or even double dating is a good idea. When having sexual relations with another person always use protection whether it’s a condom, dental dam, or what ever floats your boat.

Tip #5: Explore Your Possibilities

When dating you don’t necessarily have to commit to one person if you aren’t ready. The best thing to do though is to have good communication to others letting them know what kind of relationship you are looking for. This way you and the person(s) your are dating can be honest with each other without causing conflicts.

Tip #5: Have fun

Dating is supposed to be fun so make sure you’re having it. If you get too stressed or depressed about dating you then should take a step back and consider your methods and think about solutions on how to make dating fun.
