Bimbo Bread Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hey guys! So, I've been doing some checking around and I've realized that there isn't anyone else like me, really, where I live except for a few people. I'm having trouble with making friends at school too, so I thought maybe I'd try online friendships? I know it sounds really lame, but I'm running out of options here and I really want to have some LGBT friends that I can connect with. OKCupid seems like it might be an okay idea since it would help me meet some LGBT folks in my area that I could possibly be friends with, but still... not sure if that's really smart. Any thoughts on this? Link to post Share on other sites
PhoenixButterfly Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yeah, you could totally use it for making friends. Just make sure you only check the box marked New Friends, so that others know that you're only looking for friendship. Also, if you're worried about haters, then you might want to have it hide you from straight people. It's an option you can click on before you even finish setting up your profile. Plus, if you decide to date later on, then you will already have a profile ready. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
HeidiUK Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 You could, although personally I've had no luck there. What about somewhere like Acebook? Or are you looking for non-ace too? Link to post Share on other sites
Bimbo Bread Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Honestly, I'm looking for anyone on the LGBT+ spectrum, but knowing more asexual people would be a big plus. Overall, I'm just hoping no one tries to hit on me. :( Link to post Share on other sites
DragonflytotheMoon Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hi, Bunny. I've been a member of different forums for 16 years. I enjoy engaging in intelligent conversation on a diversity of topics & developing new friendships. Most of those remain online, as, they're in other states or countries. I've used OKC, but, it's difficult to find people within two hours of me, for anything. I hope that you'll have better success. There is another site I joined, nine months ago, when I did a search for finding friends locally, I consider them, Facebook lite. I wouldn't recommend them, though. I'm searching for gal pals on there & rarely do any women contact me first. The ones I reach out to, don't respond or it's very brief. Link to post Share on other sites
zoom Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just make sure you only check the box marked New Friends, so that others know that you're only looking for friendship. Wow... you actually have good experience with that? I mean, on any website for meeting people I've ever used, I've checked the "looking for friends / chat / meeting people for activities together" and my impression is that it just does not work.

I mean, on any website for meeting people I've ever used, I've checked the "looking for friends / chat / meeting people for activities together" and my impression is that it just does not work. As I mentioned previously, I joined a site to make gal pals & the women, pretty much, ignore me & the guys hit on me. Even though I clearly state in my profile that I'm married, only seeking friendship. We are poly (separate relationships), but, being a demi (romantic), I always approach things from the point of friendship. On there, I am only wanting that. I don't think most people read other's pages. Maybe those of us who only or mostly want friendship do. Those who are looking to hookup or date, seem to assume everyone else is there for the same purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
