I (23M) mean zero experience. Never so much as held hands with someone let alone kissing or touching or anything further. Never approached anyone and never flirted besides with one guy online who initiated.

Never been to any gay bars or clubs either. Honestly it’s all pretty nerve wracking to me and brings out my insecurities but also it’s just intimidating to me in general. I don’t have many gay friends at all either although I do have some gay connections, I’m not very close with those people. Overall I have zero experience with the gay space other than what I hear online some of which honestly sounds like a dream and others a nightmare.

What do yal recommend in the city to safely go out of my comfort zone? Apps? Specific low pressure environments like certain bars or something? Honestly in a non-platonic way, I have no clue how to interact with other gay guys.

Idk if it’s relevant but I see people include it in their posts, but I’m Asian, 5’8, masc-presenting, on the twunk side.
