Is it realistic to look for a BF whilst still at high school?

    It seems that the question isn't if, the question is how.

    I'm sure we all do. Hopefully, I will soon be in Simon's shoes and can change from being Single on FB.

    Do you know the song 'somewhere out there?'
    I kinda listen to it everytime I feel that I won't find anyone. Somewhere out there, there is someone for we all. :slight_smile: Hopefully we will find this person sooner than later

    A song is just a song my friend. It doesn't hold you at night when you are feeling alone.

    I know, there are nights I cry, and I feel so bad. But we can't just give up and lose hope. How old are you Rich? :slight_smile:

    The pool of gays at any given high school is going to be small. There's a decent chance none of them will really be the right choice for you. High school is just a really bad time for gays to get into relationships because of how teenagers social circles are more limited than that of adults. A mixture of higher rates of being closeted and not knowing people beyond a school or small network of schools usually imposes a significant limitation on same-sex dating in high school.

    I wouldn't be too distressed about it not happening before you finish school, frustrating though it may be. I had one very brief relationship in high school. It wasn't particularly worthwhile just because we weren't that similar. The desire for a relationship can cloud the fact that you don't actually know anyone with whom you should be in a relationship.

    This won't necessarily be true for you. But it is true for a lot of gay people I know.
