Gay Dating Online – The Solution for Shy Gay Men

In spite of what many straight people believe, not all gay men are flaming and gregarious. A lot of them are very shy, which is quite understandable.

Most gay men, even though they may have realized early in life that they were attracted to men, spend so much of their lives hiding who they really are, that it makes them shy. There’s either the fear of completely exiting the closet and telling the world they’re gay, or the fear of being shunned by family and friends once they all find out.

This shyness can be so debilitating that they don’t even try to meet other gay men for the possibility of a relationship. They can be practically antisocial from either that fear or as a reaction to any negativity that they experienced. With such a terrible case of shyness, how will these guys EVER meet the men they’re supposed to be with? There’s actually a really good solution to that dilemma: Go online.

There are numerous ways for gay men to “meet” and interact with each other right on the Internet. This can be done through gay dating sites, chat rooms, and on forums. There is a complete world for gay men on the Internet and you don’t have to worry about putting yourself out there at all. You can simply ease your way into a situation where you’ve got a delicious number of men at your feet and you haven’t had to do anything to make yourself a nervous wreck.

The way to introduce yourself online is by writing a kick-ass profile telling the world of eligible gay men all about you and what sort of man you’re looking for. Make it clear what kind of relationship you want to find. Don’t leave anything out. Your goal is to draw the right sort of men to you. Add a few recent, but great, photos of yourself to go along with your profile. This is the way you let other gay men know that you’re here and available. The best part for shy men is that all of this is done without having to interact with anyone.

Next, you’ll get a flurry of emails from men that have seen your profile. Again, this is something that you don’t HAVE to interact with anyone to read. Only IF you receive an email from a man that sounds promising do you have to do anything about it. When that moment arrives, you simply reply to the email and this can start an email communication. You may need to explain at some point that you’re very shy and need to feel totally comfortable before speaking to him directly.

The next step can be online chatting. This is another area where communication can take place without you feeling threatened in any way. When you and the man you’ve chosen to get to know better have had enough time chatting through instant messenger, you may feel comfortable enough to chat either by webcam or telephone. Whatever method of communication you choose, as long as the man you’re getting acquainted with is understanding, you’ll be meeting face to face before you know it.
