I am one lonely queer.

Gaaaahhhhh, single-dom. No gay guys want to date me. What am I doing wrong? I am nice (most fo the time) funny, sympathetic, and yet, nobody wants to give me love. . .

Maybe it's cuz I'm ugly. I look in the mirror, and wonder where I screwed up, how I got so homely.

What am I doing wrong?

Aw..

.. I'm just across the border in Ontario. ;)

I dunno, it's hard to say man.. maybe you need to be more agressive? Guys that are overly friendly seem to fall into the "our friendship is too good to screw up by dating" trap.

Consider yourself lucky you know other gays.. I'm the only out gay that I know of in my secondary school (high school). :(

maybe your prolbem is that yo

maybe your prolbem is that you think you are ugly.
There are a lot of diffent guys out there all who many things.
Take me as example.I'm white but I really really love Asian Guys.
Plus how you feel about the way you look is kind of how others see you.
Guess what? here you aren't alone.

Me too

Sympathies from a fellow person stuck in the land of the single! Since I have been perpetually single my entire life, I don't think I would have any great advice on how to escape single-dom. However, here is my little thought:
Like other people said- you probably just need to be less down about your looks- be a little more self confident. Self confidence can be very attractive (but not in excess).
Good luck in your search for love. I hope you find someone special.

With regards to ugliness..

.. I am not lying when I say I've seen only one or two guys in my life that do not have some sort of extremely attractive quality to them, even if it is not immediately appearant.

I'm quite certain that you are probably not as bad looking as you think.

hello ghosba (:

i think he's just being sarcastic about his looks guys (:

anyways, why do i get the impression that you have alot of
the following traits also?
will pretty much do anything for someone at the drop if a dime
never says no and feels guilty when does
needs to console and worrie when you think i one is in a bad mood
or feel distant if i one silent
easily bruised and too over sensitive
clingy
calls too often and obessess over a person you're with
needs constant reassurrance and approval
gives gives gives and gives!!!
anytime those traits are present...
sorry to say but that person will automaticlly be
slotted in the "friends file".
and pretty much stays there (:

dude, you give off a vibe like you are always in the "just wanna be friends" attitude and the closest thing you will get is affection,
NOT attraction.
you can't give off affection vibes and get attraction out of it.
attraction is created from drastic and aggressive behaviors,
no, don't grab his nuts or ass. bust on him , playfully
tease and just be a little elusive...
i for one have been a complete prick ,asshole and the worst
of the worst and i have had no problem at all ,because i know
how to create, maintain and continue the chemestry -the attraction.
sorry dude, but you seem like a "nice guy" and it sucks that
nice guys usually stay single. my only advice to you is
learn how to say NO more often, create VALUE for yourself,
do your own thing regardless of what anyone thinks,
be nice and civil but don't be a "nice guy".
nice guys give freely and unquestioningly ,guys that are attractive
give selectivly and conciouslly.their effort and time is precious
it holds VALUE,because of it's scarceness.
okay..what do you value more? something thats given away freely
or something you must work for and is unpredictable?

you have a big heart and for some reason i get an impression
like you wear it on your sleave.
you also seem very sweet and kind too.
be carefull because sharks will take advantage of that.
if i were you i'd just social proof myself as much as
possible. always be in the scence , make sure guys
are seeing you around other guys , create high status
with attitude and behaviors, be selective of
who you want and what you are looking for, be elusive-
hard to get a hold of , busy.all these things just make you
more attractive. whats more desirable, something easy to
get or something you can't have?

i am not saying to be someone else, i am saying
be a little more concious of how you treat people
and how much you give to them. just because you give
alot dosen't always mean you'll be getting alot in return.

if you have a large group of guys that you hang
out with or know and you haven't got things further
then friendship phase, eventhough you clearly have
more intense feelings, then something is definetly not right-
unless you just aren't interested.
have you ever noticed that some guys get the "wow! he's soo
hot!" treatment and some guys are "ooh he's soo sweet" treatment
and get taken for granted? now you have a glimpse of to why...

You may think you're ugly, bu

You may think you're ugly, but I'm sure others do not. Unless you weigh 800 lbs and have snot and saliva smeared all over your face constantly, then I'm willing to bet you're not ugly. In fact, not having seen a picture of you ever, I will make the statement: you are not ugly. I'm a single gay guy, one month older than you, and I have never dated anyone, ever. I'm also usually considered the "friend" guy; I listen to people's problems and comfort them, I tell jokes a lot, I try to be as nice as possible, and I end up with a lot of very good friends, but no boyfriend. And that is the one thing that I want. I'm assuming it's the same situation for you.

I don't have a solution, except, if you meet someone that you think you may like, talk to them, get to know them, and after a bit, tell them that you like them and see what happens. You don't have to stop doing what you already do, but I think it may help to take some extra steps to meet and get to know more new people. As I have already learned, college is a great time and place to do that. Just hang in there. And so, to shamelessly rip off a song, "To be yourself is all that you can do."
