I'm gay and I'm 17 and I need some help?

[Josh]

I'm gay and 17 I live in the UK but I'm finding it difficult to make up conversations with other gays not just in my country but all around the world. Iv noticed that Australian gays are the happiest but that's just in my experience. But can u give me any tips thanks. Oh and how do I meet other gays and am I old enough to sign up to a gay dating website I know u got to be 18 but I'm 17 it's only 1 years difference. So what do I do and do u know any online dating pages for gays and I'm into Canadian guys and any one my age but not just Canadians mostly anybody.

use facebook, a gay group on facebook, Ironically enough I live in canada, but i dont know much about the UK, so thats the best iv got.I wouldnt suggest you fake the age even thought its only a year, but because some older people will look for people that are young. if u decide to do it anyways than you should tell whoever you talk to your real age once in a conversation with them. I have lottsa friends that do that. If you lived out here i would have soo many more options. Out here were have queer youth groups, for between the ages of 14-22, sum are 13-24
