Missing out

    Hey guys!

    So yeah, I guess just another generic thread looking for help.

    So I'm 26, I've recently moved to Dublin from rural Ireland with a pretty quiet gay scene. The main reason for moving up was to meet new people, get out on the scene more and to hopefully find that guy. The thing is is that I'm finding it hard to meet new people and I'm really starting to feel like I'm missing out.

    I know I've probably gone about this the worst possible way (but it seems most people are successful with it) but I've used the likes of Grindr etc to find friends (quite literally in this sense) but it seems that if you don't use sexual favours you might as well be outcast but I'm just not the Grindr type of guy.

    I know a few gay guys that are friends of a friend but I don't think we click as friends and it seems like most gay men seem to have zero interest in me. I'm quite a shy guy (but chatty when it comes to it), maybe a little 'weird', I've been told I'm good looking and I'd like to think that I have a lot of straight friends but it still dents the confidence a little when I get unmatched, ignored or blocked on 'those' apps for asking a guy how his day is going. I've quite literally had no boyfriends, maybe 3 unsuccessful dates and I've been out for the past 6 years.

    I guess this post is a mixture of insecurities and wanting to broaden my circle of friends so I can maybe try go out more in the hopes that I'm more successful in finding a guy that way. Any social events, societies or groups that I could join? And to cover the dreaded question; my interests include... well I'm open to many things at this point. Trying something new at this stage in my life would only be a good thing. Cheers for any advice/help.
