I hope I don't sound too important by the title lol.

You are at an ideal environment to learn, not only academically. You're at an age where you're free as adults to do certain things with other adults, but not yet old enough to be expected to be committed or established, which leaves lots of open time to explore, and about 4 years with hundreds or perhaps thousands of other people around your age, and with the goal to learn. Plus you're away from your parents and other family, who might be too interested in your social life, or downright homophobic which is a whole different discussion.

My point is you have a unique opportunity not everyone has, and which will not last. I'm not suggesting you force yourself into something you're not ready for or feel uncomfortable with. Some opportunities might still not be right. Just keep in mind there are potentially many others around you in the same situation, and among them a few are bound to be good matches for you. Even if they are duds they are at least experience, and you might even get an unexpected side benefit.

To be transparent, if I could be a college student again I would totally have taken advantage of other male college students. Um, wait, I worded that wrong lol. You know what I mean. I would be open to opportunities with guys. To say I regret not exploring guys in college would not be quite accurate. It was the '90s so it wouldn't have been scandalous at all. It's just I didn't think it was really an option for me.

So realize it's totally an option if you want that option, and others in your immediate area for now want that option too.

Be sure to be safe of course.

But also try to have fun! That's the point of hanging out with a friend of any sort.
