I’ve been fighting off writing this for a while now. I even considered making a throwaway for it, but I guess if its too embarrassing I can delete it.
I’ve sorta come to accept I’m bi in recent years, and I am wondering how I should go about dating and courtship in regards to dating within my same sex (male). Especially since I find femininity to be a key attraction point. I also haven’t dated or had sex in like, three years or more. Its been a while, I kinda stopped caring for myself and focused on work, I am slowly trying to become an interesting person again, get back in shape but its hard. I dunno, man. I’m in my mid-30s and I am trying to figure out what I want out of the world.
How does one navigate this kind of world after coming out? How do I deal with the stigma especially since in the states, there’s a renewed interest in putting people back in the closet?
Along the same lines as the other suggestions of clubs/dancing: you’ll find regional burning man communities pretty much everywhere. Georgia has the Alchemy burn in the fall, but they do smaller parties, volunteer days, and art/build days at least monthly, check their website if you’re around that area. At the very least you’ll find a welcoming community and start to make some potentially LGBTQ friends. I can also say that I’ve never met a burner that wasn’t an avid hugger.
