Um, I think it actually is that simple, why wouldn't it be? Unless you're physically incapable of getting up, going out and meeting people, there's no reason why that shouldn't be happening.
Got a tip for us?

It's not that easy for me. I get severe panic attacks when I try to meet new ppl. It's not my fault tho
Damn genetics.
I'm destined to be alone. :'(

And being Gay doesn't help at all, does it bro?
I am totally antisocial. If you ever go to a party with me, I will always be the one on my iPhone in a corner.
It helps a lot to go with friends, to go to an event with nothing but friends, and to meet friends of friends. A little drink can help too (assuming you're old enough).
I still hate going to events where I don't know anyone, but I force myself to try to interact to meet new people to make connections for jobs and things. And well, I vastly prefer events where I know people, whether I know them originally in-person or online..e.g. I went to WWDC and met a ton of people thanks to Facebook and Twitter that I normally wouldn't have the guts to approach otherwise..just because I felt comfortable enough with them cause I spent weeks beforehand talking about all sorts of things with them. And of course, the rest of the conference was this one huge Mac developer fest, so it helps to have something in common to talk about when meeting new people.
It's worth a try.

What does being gay have to do with being lonely.
My sexuality has been cause for some unfair discrimination and verbal abuse, but hardly a reason for me to be even more lonelier. If anything, it's one more thing I might have in common with someone I meet, which makes it that much easier to talk to them.
It's harder to find other gay people. Or when you really really start to like someone who happens to be straight, it makes things a lot harder. Being gay doesn't mean you're lonely, it just means you have to try harder sometimes to find someone to date.
Truth be told, I've found that not to be true. Maybe it's an age thing (I'm almost not a teen anymore..sigh), maybe it's a location thing. Maybe you're just not looking into the right places.
And yes, it sucks to like someone who's straight, but if you get to know them really well and they're not automatically creeped out by the idea, maybe they'll discover that their attraction to other humans is not so black and white.
Well, masses.
See, in 'The Real World' I am uncomfortable about my sexuality (very, very few know), which means I tend to avoid all intimate situations. It's led to me being anti-social.
That and a whole host of other issues.
Someone get me some tissues and a hand held camera. Oh, the humanity! YouTube here I come

Okay, maybe I came off as more than insensitive in that post, which I didn't mean for it to.
I'm echoing the lovely vniow when I say this but...It's hard, but if you want to get somewhere, you've got to start somewhere. Gay or not, it's hard! Things don't work out, everyone's an ass, people discriminate against others. Sexual preference is just another one of those things people discriminate against. But to a lot of folks, race, age, weight, physical appearance matter just as much. It shouldn't be an extra factor, I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Sure, I get you.
It's just that race, age etc. are there for all to see from the start, whereas with sexuality you can choose to hide it. Sometimes loneliness seems better than utter humiliation by my peers. In my crazy world that makes sense.
I'm in HS, so everyone knows everyone else, which makes things harder.

I got dumped a few months ago and havent seen anyone since, not coz I cant get over her (I already have) but coz I dont really care... I dont feek the need to always be with someone, plus by not going out with someone I can save money that I would normally spend on dates for my DeLorean!
That'll work.
Yeah, at first it is hard, but once you do it a few times it does become easier. Keep trying.
Then devise a plan where you can overcome this problem in your life.
FWIW, life is full of problems to overcome. To successful in life, you must first learn to deal with your problems and overcome them. You would be surprised at what you can do when you set your mind to it.
I would highly recommend, "Escape from the Box, The Wonder of Human Potential," to all teens.
You can find it on Amazon.com for $19.95 in paperback form.
Never ever say something like this.It's not my fault tho
Damn genetics.
For if you do, surely it will become true.

prof. I never knew you were a teenager. In my mind, I always imagined you as a middle aged man or something, haha...
I don't let dating or relationships (or lack there of) get me down, even though sometimes I would love to be in one. I mostly just go with the flow, and would rather wait and find someone that I REALLY want to be with, then jump at whatever chance comes my way. Its actually fun being single sometimes!

I'm so happy I'm not a lonely teen. I've been with my girlfriend for eight months and I'm very happy with her. Oh yeah, and by the way, she is really hot!!!

pics or bs.
Also, gay guys tend to be reeeeeally vain and picky when it comes to dating.
Just go see Momma Mia.. BOUND to be a million and one opportunities to meet a gay..... or ten.

What do gay guys do for a second date?
What second date?
You know...thats really not such a bad idea.
Any second opinions?
True i think....
I would, but you see I don't take pictures that often so I have none of her but just trust me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Nope, I am not a middle aged man; I'm far from that. I'm 19
Seeing I just came out earlier this year, I have yet gone on a "gay date". It's prolly gonna be a while b4 I do.
It's a lot of hard work telling the world you're gay.
There are no girls on teh interwebz

Same... D:
I get paniccy when I try to buy something from a shop and the person behind the counter asks me something D:
I hate social situations. I, too, can't just "go out and meet new people". I'm too shy, and, as I said, I get panicy as well.
That and no-one would want to meet me
(see picture included in my last post hehe)But yeah... all the people saying "Just go out and meet people, stop being lazy" should **** because it's not that simple for everyone.
Hence why I am really worried about starting College (UK) next month, because I'm worried I won't make friends with anyone due to my social issues.

oh, I guess the internet thing is a joke...and I just don't get it cause I actually am a girl? lol
but I'm kinda the same way, at least I used to be. I couldn't go to the store and buy anything with out almost having an anxiety attack when the person would ask me a question or something, the same thing with waiters taking my order...but I've mostly gotten over it.
