Couple of points I pick up onI don ' t really think online dating is the thing for me . Why not ? There ' s more than just hookup apps out there , you know . rokCupid has a guide to filling out a dating profile , it ' s pretty thorough . I have a lot of specific interests and I don ' t think I ' d ever meet someone who would be interested in the same things . I feel like I ' m expecting some kind of romantic comedy type meeting with a stranger but that ' s not realistic . To me , this is the answer to its own question . You know what you like , so meet people who are into the same things as you . Local social groups , forums online , anywhere where there are people who you have something in common with will increase your chances of meeting that stranger , or meeting someone who introduces you to their gay BFF who might end up with you .
