Being a member of the LGBTQ community has never been easy for a lot of people. There are many who spend years to decide if they should come out of the “closet” or not. If you have already, then kudos to your courage. You are just like any other human on this planet. 

There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Just like straight people use dating apps and websites, there are several gay dating sites which you can choose to use as well. If you have matched with someone and planning to go on a date, then bere are some dating tips that will help you to make the most out of the situation.

• Always FaceTime beforehand

the best way to avoid an uncomfortable or tricky situation in front of another person is by meeting them virtually. Use FaceTime to connect with the person you have matched on the app. A video chat helps you to have a great face-to-face conversation with the person and helps you to know more about them. Always FaceTime them and find out more about their likings. Also, you are going to put in a lot of effort to get ready, wear the favorite dress and do other things. But, things may not turn out to be as you expected after you meet him. So, it is better to FaceTime the person beforehand.

• Check the reputation of the app

you should be careful when you are dating online. There are several apps that try to steal their user data or have several fake accounts just for the show. That is why we always recommend our users to use only the top and reputed dating websites available on the internet. These apps are reliable and have better chances of matching you with a genuine person also using the website.

• Talk about interesting topics

before you go a step ahead during the date, you should talk about different topics. Choose topics of interest and find out what the other person likes or dislikes. Converse on a football game or what are the different games that you like playing. This will give you a deeper insight into the other person’s mind. Getting to know more about the person by talking with them will help you to realize if you really like him or not.

• Learn to say “No”

there are various situations in which you have to say “No”. Just because you are on a date, it does not mean you are very close to the person. That kind of comfort have not yet arrived. If the guy is asking you to have some more drinks, but you don’t feel like, then you should strictly avoid drinking more. Always learn to set a limit to any situation before it goes out of hand. Since this is the first date, you should not give away to any kind of peer pressure with the guy.

Make sure to keep in mind these few tips, and your first date will be a huge success.
