    I am new to dating in the community

    There is so many factors and emotional feelings to keep in mind in the LGBT community when dating that my mind is blowing.

    I have come across someone I really want to be with,but as I am new to dating mtf women.

    I need advice on how to help a person with a phobia that just wants to stay home in her room and not wants to go outside the house

    I'm kinda new to Gay dating scene to. The one thing I do know, is don't lead with I'm still in the closet or I'm new to the gay dating scene. Some people will treat this as you having baggage, or no gay dating experience equals zero dating experience. It's kind of a double standard. However I have been on a couple dates with guys in the closet. I'm a fairly confident person so they thought I was some kinda gay guru and had the answers they were looking for. I quickly corrected them and said we were in the same boat, but I would love to find those answers together. They didn't like that and spiraled because of their baggage and lashed out at themselves and me. So I understand how people would want to avoid that, even if they misjudge someone with double standards now and again. So if they ask don't deny it but don't shine a spotlight on it either. The more out of the closet you are the better your chances. Confidence is half the battle so try to be bold.

    When you do start to go on dates, I would notify them within the first few dates that you're trans if they already don't know. Some men could feel betrayed and possibly get violent if they found out further down the road when their more invested. So keep your safety in mind. I'm not trying to scare you but I don't want to see you get hurt. Your safety comes first.
