I'm 21(gay), I know I shouldn't be comparing lives but I just feel like I've been missing out a lot of my gay life. Most gays my age has already experienced being in a relationship, even gays younger than me. Here I am, swiping through these apps that I feel like isn't working. I've been in these apps since I was 18 and still couldn't find anything.

I like guys my age and I like guys in their 30s even more. I came out of my comfort zone of sending messages and flirting, keeping the conversation going but it seems like it isn't working. I'm looking for a serious relationship and don't play around. Maybe because I have an average look and I'm short like 5ft that I couldn't attract anyone. I've gone out to places to have fun and meeting new people but still no progress lol. I'm not picky, so whyyy?😭

I just wanna enjoy and do the things a couple do on a date and a lot of stuff that I read in novels and stories. I might sound like I am romanticising the books I've read too much but I don't have that high standards for a person that could potentially be my partner.

For my special someone, I believe that we'll meet someday but before that I am praying that you are doing great and pursuing your endeavours in life. Stay healthy!
