How do you go about meeting people?

[Scootin Dadimir Putin]

I live in an extremely small town, like the population is under 1000 I think.. At my school there are very few people who are out, me being one of them, and frankly the others are jerks. Well, to me, not to each other. I was wondering how I would go about meeting potential mates, there are no clubs in my area because the county I live in has outlawed them. slfdflsdfksdh
Also, the fact that I am really socially retarded does not help me at all. I tend to word vomit on people as soon as I meet them. xD

Hmm, I grew up in a very isolated area myself.

Well, not to be a downer, but given the population of your town, it's quite possible that you won't meet a potential "mate" in your area. Even if there were other people who were out, that's no guarantee that you'd be a good match. sweatdrop

I think most people end up meeting each other either through school or extra-curricular groups, work, clubs, or through mutual friends.

I've tried bringing the people who are out, together in a club like thing, but the school refused to let me start it up. The principal is really religious and keeps claiming that he can't let me start up the club for liability reasons. That and parents would complain.
But, I've only got one last year here, so I guess if I have to wait at least it won't be too long of a wait.
Thank you for the advice. c:

That sounds super adorable.
To be honest though I am surprised it worked out. Dating ads like that don't usually end up in long term relationships. c:

dating in itself usually doesnt end up working long term, it takes a few tries before you find someone right for you. online dating isnt any different smile

I wouldn't know.
I myself have never been in a relationship.
I mean I have had an offer, but I declined because I felt nothing.
Usually I am pretty cautious and make sure that the person meets most of my "requirements" before even considering dating people.

Dating sounds painful. Haha. xD

That sounds frustrating.
In any case, if you only have a year left, that's good. I suspect that it'll get a lot easier to meet people if you get a chance to move somewhere with a larger population.

i was never too fond of dating, i hated having to pur forth an effort into being with someone and seeing them all the time, i guess thats why online dating worked out so well for me. for the first month or 2 all we did was talk online and didnt even meet each other, then when we did start doing stuff together it was only on the weekends because we lived an hour away from each other and we both had work and school. i think it made the transition easier for me and made me want to spend more time with him. all my other relationships was me trying to think up excuses to have a day to myself

my sister seems to enjoy dating much more than i ever did. i swear she spends more time with her boyfriend than i do my husband who im living with lol

It was kind of frustrating the first time, because I had done so much work planning activities and stuff. After that though I just expected a "no" so it wasn't as bad.
Hopefully, I will be moving to Orlando in June, if I get accepted to UCF.
I hear that there is a pretty active LGBT club there.

I am glad to see that I am not the only person who does this.
I always make excuses so I don't have to hang out with friends, I mean I enjoy them and all, but I need my own time. xD

by being a snarky, cynical, stone-cold marvel villain worthy staring at nothing mood-swingy nutjob as usual

uh, i tend to just wait for people to come up to me? i'm heavily introverted (seriously- my mom and dad have me on social skills because i'm "surly" and i'm antisocial, that's how introverted i am- although they have never seen me on the internet).

so really, smile and say hi and before you know it i'll be a mood-swinging machine-gun talking disaster whos' gawking at anyone they find pretty, which tends to be girls.
