Whether closeted or out, if you’re tired of secret hookups
and creeps, and all you’re looking for is a nice, loving relationship, then
it’s time for you to join the world of gay online dating. Exploring the digital
sea of guys can be intimidating, especially if you’re not looking in the right
place. Our site is a safe space for you to find the one and settle into a
companionship with mutual love, respect, and trust.
There are certain tips and tricks that can help you along
the way. Aside from basic things like keeping your pictures PG and putting some
thought into screen names, there are other concepts to keep in mind. We at Gay Dating Solutions ( +Gay Dating Soltions) believe that the process should be fun, easy, and smooth; and
we’ve put together some of the best tips to help guide you along the way:

1.    
Don’t be Aimless

Many go on browsing aimlessly through the sites, and usually
only go by display pictures. It’s much easier and much less daunting, if you
know what you want and are actively searching for that. Make a list of all the
things you’d like – and we don’t mean physical attributes; write down
specifics, do you want a guy who’s out or closeted? College educated or
high-school graduate? The artsy type or the scientific type? It’s good to know
exactly what you’re searching for; but with that being said, don’t be afraid to
go out of your comfort zone, if a guy seems interesting but he doesn’t meet
your requirements, don’t be too scared to start up a conversation.

2.    
Privacy Matters

Even though this is a dating site, you should only share
what you feel comfortable sharing, and you should extend others the same
courtesy. Remember to only ask things you would ask someone when physically
meeting for the first time. Therefore, keep your “top or bottom?” questions for
later, and make sure you’re not scaring away potentials with intrusive queries.
There are, of course, certain things you need to know for your own safety, such
as their HIV status, but don’t be tactless. These are matters that you can
discuss in person once you have established that you actually like the person
himself.

3.    
Don’t Give Up

IF you’re like the rest of us, you won’t find true love on
your first try. There’s a lot of trial and error you have to go through before
you can find the right guy who you want to spend most of your time with. The
good thing about online dating is that you’re all here for the same reason, and
if you don’t respond to someone or aren’t interested in meeting up again,
they’re sure to understand. As long as you aren’t rude, they’ll happily move
on, and so will you. But remember to keep looking, don’t be that guy who gives
up after one or two dates and deactivates his dating profile. If you keep at
it, you’re sure to luck out sooner or later.

These tips aren’t strict rules, but are only here to guide
you. If you have any more handy tips, feel free to post them in the comments
section. Also, if you think that these don’t work for you, then do what you
always do, as long as you’re comfortable and having fun.
