    Hello board, I am a gay 26 year old man who has not been very involved in the gay community. I am a more indoor type and very shy. I know I'm not bad looking and am manly but I lack courage. I would like to meet a guy for a possible relationship but I need a gay friend too. I believe now is the time to make the move. I am just not sure where to start.

    meetup.com have an LGBT group thats supposedly great fun and pretty active. Never been myself though, just two friends use it all the time.

    I would have gone to some of the outhouse groups they run too. They're usually a laugh.

    From a previous thread on here, about a quarter of the forum was 26, though that was a few months ago now...

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Mingmang, there is a world of 26 year olds on here all in the same position of you. I'm one of them and I'm sure plenty of others will chime in accordingly too. It's scary the amount of 26 year olds there seems to be who are all feeling the same way. We should have our own section of the boards!

    If you want to chat in PM or whatever feel free to get in touch.

    Where do you live? Dublin? There are lots of different groups that might perhaps interest you - Outhouse has things like book clubs, a juggling club - there is also different groups like drama clubs or music groups; do you have any interests?

    Outhouse have numerous groups,meeting socila events for every age.I would suggest you do their PDC course (personal development course )it sounds kinda heavy but its not ,its a great laugh very relaxed and you get to meet other like minded people who you can socialise with .You also learn stuff ,,,
    Good luck ,give it a try ,,i did :)

    hi guys, am 27 and not out too, would really like to meet a nice guy who is in the same position as me, maybe we should all try and meet sometime for a drink or something and at least we all would have a support network in coming to terms with the fact we are gay, let me knows what you guys think.
