I'm pretty sure that I'm gay...and yes, I have absolutely no idea how I would go about finding a boyfriend, let alone one that was tolerant of all my quirks, etc. It can get quite depressing at times.
Same here. In my eyes, being a student (most notably, high-school/Secondary School) probably makes it far worse - I seem to convince myself of people making flirtatious gestures towards me, fail to do anything due to lack of confidence (as well as self-esteem due to my quirks - thinking "Why would anyone ever desire to court/date/go out with me? Even more so, why would they take the risk of coming out as gay to do so?") until, eventually, the romantic gestures just stop... Only then do you realise that you've let the chance slip away. Albeit the fact that I'm given the opportunities, I doubt them and watch helplessly as these chances slip out of my grasp. Indeed, quite depressing at times. Especially if one attempts to counter the 'cycle' in some way, shape or form; only to fail when the time comes...
