Going to Gay bars Alone??

LegacyUser

Im considering going to a gay bar on my own because nobody knows that I am bisexual and I really want to meet a girl... Would ppl look at me like Im crazy or is it common practice to do this???

The first time I went to a gay bar I went alone. Ideally perhaps it's a good idea to go with someone you know, especially if you're nervous, but the fact that you're on your own shouldn't be a massive barrier to going to one, IMO. Remember you don't have to stay if you're uncomfortable.

I wouldn't say it's common practice however, as it's probably more usual to go out with at least one person you know. As to whether you should go or not, well that really depends on how nervous you are at the idea of going to a gay bar alone. If it's really nervewracking then probably not. If not, then hey, no problem.

Iv been to Gay Bars before with friends (not gay friends) so I know what the places are like, It doesnt make me nervous to think of going in, just how Id approach a woman... Its all kind of new to me.. Im 23 and Im fairly independent so the thought of going out alone doesnt really scare me once Im not going to be looked at like a loner or something???

I went alone my first time in a gay bar. Was quite nervous going in but once there it didn't seem like such a big deal.

Go for it I say. As swiss pointed out, you don't have to stay long if you don't want to.

Did you find it easy to pull?? That might sound like a stupid question but is it like straight places where girls sometimes play hard to get?? And guys I suppose?? Iv been told Im good looking etc but that only gets you so far in life really?? No girls have ever come on to me EVER so Im worried I just give off a straight vibe all the time ?? That sounds ridiculous doesnt it??

You'll see lots of guys on their own in the likes of the George, but I have to say I've never seen a woman alone. No reason why you couldn't do it though. I'd suggest just to sit at the bar and chances are you'll be talking to someone before long. And if you smoke, the smoking area in the G is a great place to get chatting to strangers.

LOL Tia, I got the same problem. I give a straight vibe too, I mean I am good looking and all, but no one's ever approached me. I've been hit on plenty by men, but not women..
