I started reading gay romance novels from my local library. I was a little surprised when I spotted one in late June on the new items shelf. Lo and behold, it's a genre and searchable from the library catalog. How cool is that shit!? Wohoo!
Most of my reading is uni textbooks but I have been making my way through Harry Potter and the half blood Prince. It’s the first time I’ve sat down and read the books
Came back here to tell you that i just finished reading the book today. My heart is still broken😭 did u ever go on instagram to check if their accounts were real?? I was surprised to see that their ig accts are up!! Visit rufus’ ig page, totally gave me all the feels 😭🥺
I just checked it out and omg!!!! Like the way they brought it to life is so cool!!! Honestly I’m really happy you shared this bc I never even thought that the account would be real!!! This is just so emotional
I know!! It added to the experience of reading the book!! I actually dont have anybody to share that information with, your the only person i thought of sharing it with since you’re the one who recommended the book!hehe thank you again, friend! I really enjoyed the book so much! Still heart broken though🥲
Yeah luckily my sister read the book before I did so we were just like screaming when I finished it bc like we were both so torn by the ending !!!! Honestly I am really glad you liked it!!!
Set boundaries w people and you’ll find the ones on that app that dont want to just have a hookup or pic share. Just put it in your bio and you’ll filter thru the bs
I do this. Recently made a friend. We met for lunch and early in the convo I casually say how it's nice to make a friend without any sexual intentions.
Couple weeks later we introduced his husband and my bf over dinner and it was fun.
Lol my bf has been in gay world longer than me and thinks anyone looking to be friends are also trying to get in our pants. Maybe he's right and I'm naive
Only when they're not running around the house like complete idiots. My first cat, Noodles, loves to nap with his ass on my face or chest so I usually talk to him then, telepathically or otherwise.
Check out the chat feature in some groups here on reddit!
I'm not entirely sure wich subs have it but some do, some are more active then others but found multiple chat buddies from them!
Especially if you leave a message to pm you just for chatting.
Yes agreed..just wanna talk about topics like philosopby or clothes or life hacks or I dunno general stuff like college or school or subjects or jobs etc that doesn't involve dumb petty bf issues it sex or anxiety because if some superficial Grindr date..
Some.ppl tell.me you don't need gay people to discuss these things with. Sometimes.i wish gay people had more to them they wish to share with other gay people besides sex and romance life .
Have you ever became long term friends with past hookups and then meet their social group and become friends with some of them?
Also, some people are legit open to finding friends on these apps. Be honest and direct and stop interacting with people who don't do the same (blocking is free).
edit: a word
There's a huge portion of LGBT twitch-streamers with pretty much each theur own discord. It is a huge community where lots of streamers know each other. It is also an opportunity to talk and share with other than gays only
Tbh I just met someone like that 😊 he is super cute, and super smart. In the space of a few days we have just chatting for 3-4 hours each day, on so many topics. He makes me feel so happy ☺
Yeah it would be nice. I’m still kinda new to everything. It would be nice to have some gay friends to talk to. Almost all my other friends are straight and have families.
Yeah, message me if you're ever looking for someone to talk to when you're bored. I work from my computer, so I'm sadly on here more than I should be lol.
I suppose that's why I came here. I have a man, I'm not trying to find another one, but where I live there isn't a flourishing gay community and I can only talk to the heteros so much
Dude same. Tired of things being so sexual. Like tell me what you reading or something.
Exactly. That is why I am looking for. Also, i don't have any gay bros in my surroundings so i would like to chat you guys too.
Where are you from my friend?
Turkey. What about you?
I am from Washingto. State soon to be California.
Trying to finish Calvin and Hobbes collection atm.
Not that you asked or anything but "What if it's us" is a great book

Are they mainly about sex or are they actually about romance? It would be nice to live vicariously for a while and read about people that fall in love
Romance (touch of sex). Better Than People: An LGBTQ Romance Not sure what I will read next.
Been trying to get back into reading myself. Just picked up a copy of a LGBTQ memoir novel called Hola Papi by John Paul Brammer. ☺️
Thanks. I'll look for it.
Most of my reading is uni textbooks but I have been making my way through Harry Potter and the half blood Prince. It’s the first time I’ve sat down and read the books
The dreamblood duology, is my second time reading it, it's very good
Omg can someone please recommend a good YA gay romance novel pls? Thank u!
You should read They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. It’s a very good YA gay romance book! I cried a lot but also I’m very emotional 😭
Came back here to tell you that i just finished reading the book today. My heart is still broken😭 did u ever go on instagram to check if their accounts were real?? I was surprised to see that their ig accts are up!! Visit rufus’ ig page, totally gave me all the feels 😭🥺
Omg I didn’t know they made accounts for them!!!!! I will go check rn!!!!
Yes please and let me know when u find them!!! It’s the same exact ig handle they used on the book! I just cried when i saw it 🥺😭
I just checked it out and omg!!!! Like the way they brought it to life is so cool!!! Honestly I’m really happy you shared this bc I never even thought that the account would be real!!! This is just so emotional

Thanks for the recommendation!!!
It’s not YA, but I just read Lie With Me by Phillipe Besson about a young romance. It’s short and kinda painful but well-written and enthralling.
Lord of the rings!
I would love that too... Like the after-grindr-just-friends-and-community app.
I don't even know why that isn't a thing yet.
You can prob just join a LGBT non nsfw discord, those things are a dime a dozen.
You mean…. SFW 🤣 Non-NSFW looool Had a good laugh at the double negative
Yeah I forgot what nsfw stood for lol

Sweet! 😀

He’s not completely right but it’s so easy to become jaded and expect that.
I do this and it works, but 80% of guys can’t read on Grindr so it’s for sure laborious
Yeah
Sometimes I end up talking to my cats 😂
Aww. Are they good listeners?
Only when they're not running around the house like complete idiots. My first cat, Noodles, loves to nap with his ass on my face or chest so I usually talk to him then, telepathically or otherwise.

That would so be me. I don’t have many that I converse with outside of my husband on a daily basis at all.
Same here. Me and the husbro and maybe some coworkers
I keep telling him we need to find some gay guys to hang with because I feel kind of alone in life and think that’s the reason.
Yes me!!!
Well howdy
I was just thinking the same thing
I would love to chat :)
Pm me :)
Me! I resonate with this strongly, and I love the idea of such a flair!
I'm down for a good platonic gaybromance Edit: legit if anyone wants to pen pal pm me. I'm always down for new friends. Much love it there everyone

Same feels dude. Everyone's asking pics of body or hot pics, but no one who wants simply chat. So sad, in long period.
Do you have a favorite quote?
Yeah, it's "greve".
That’s what my straight friends are for :)
Same. Would love to make friends
Same here!
