Forming a new relationship
-
Long story short, I am graduating college and going to get my masters at a different school. I have not dated any guys (I had a high school girlfriend before I truly understood myself) and I am kind of nervous. I have never been or want to be part of the hook-up culture, but I want to start dating. How do I find dates? I am nervous to used Grindr, because my friend that uses it, uses it for hooking-up. Any discussion or suggestions would be appreciated.

Many of the hook-up apps can be used for dating, even if most of the guys are there primarily for sex. I met one of my exes and a few friends on Growlr (if you're into bears, or are one). I'm sure the others around here can give you suggestions on other good apps for dating.
You can also check if your new university has an LGBT club. Most will. It might be a good place to make gay friends, possibly meet guys, and probably talk to others, hear their stories, and get a little less nervous about meeting guys.

Thank you. I hadn't thought about the club at my university. I will have to check on that. I didn't join the one at my undergrad because I was not out and was told it was cliquey.

Depends where do you live. In my country, there is like a special gay forum where 90% of people are there primarily for dating and not sex. Just write in your profile that you are looking for dating(and don't trust no one).
