If you are gay, bi-curious, bisexual or transgender in search of a long term or causal relationship, it can be a daunting task when you are just starting out. We have devised a list of gay dating tips in order to make your experience on Match Maker as exciting, enjoyable and safe as possible. The points provided are based on years of experience and feedback from operating this successful website.
- When you meet gay singles for the first occasion, it is always recommendable that you start out SLOW. Take your time, especially if you are new to the scene and have little or no experience in online dating. Read the member's profiles carefully and don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you feel.
- A key point when it comes to giving gay dating advice, respond in a timely manner to all messages. It is proper online etiquette to others regardless of whether you are interested or not.
- If you are interested in a member, take you time in getting to know them. Spend as much time as you feel conversing using Match Maker's free gay chat room. Possibly exchange contact information such as email address or external chat usernames. We suggest you refrain from giving out your personal phone number, home address or information too quickly. Get to know and trust the person before you do.
- Make sure you exchange recently taken photos before you meet the person. This view of our gay dating tips is important as you do not want to be disappointed if the guy isn't what you expected when meeting up. Again, ask as many questions about the other member as possible, e.g. where do they work? Are they married? etc.
- Once you have established a certain level of trust, exchange mobile phone details (not home phone - they are not so easily replaced) and partake in a few calls. Talking to the person will give you a greater indication of whether this is the man you would like to meet or not.
- Another great piece of gay dating advice is to MEET THE PERSON IN PUBLIC, if for the very first time. Choose a place that is close, familiar and crowded. Doing so will not only be a wise choice in terms of safety but it should also calm any feelings of nervousness and anxiety. This is also a good time to get to know your prospect partner face to face.
- Before you decide to meet again or simply "jump in the sack", bear in mind this final and ultimate piece in gay dating tips. Know your partner's sexual history! Do not be afraid or shy to ask intrusive question regarding his sex life. You will not only be protecting yourself from STD's, but future partners and encounters as well. Whether your partner is telling the truth or not about his sexual history and health is another matter, however for your own sake, be sure you practice SAFE SEX at all times.

a problem with my weight and body image..im 30 and weigh 85kg...Its so damn hard to get over what you look like in the mirror always thinking do they see what you see,,,and the answer is no, good guys dont. IVe been with my wonderful partner for nearly two years and we love each other, he is a big guy and has no problems undressing or being naked..me on the other hand hate having the lights on during sex and hide with a towel when he comes into the bathroom! But even though i think he will look at all my lumps and bumps and girl i mean BUMPS , he doesnt...he sees me for me but unfortunatley my brain says otherwise,,,I think i will continue to feel like that for a long time, but one thing he always says to make me feel better is more cushion for the pushin lol....I guess in time there will be a defining moment in your and my life where we just dont care and realise that there is more to life then how we look....Its hard though when we have all these skinny magazine cover girls looking at us from a magazine stand! So hey as long as we have a guy that love us the rest will fall into line with time!!!
