Going to a gay club alone

Sometimes, going out with friends can seem to be like a chore: waiting for them to finish getting ready, taking care of who gets shitfaced, deciding which bar/club to go to.

Despite how intimidating it may seem, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with going to a gay bar by yourself. Don’t be daunted, just follow these tips and you’re guaranteed to be the best wingman you’ve ever had.

Yes, we are social creatures but who said we had to wait for someone else to want what we want before we do what we want to do? I remember when I first started going to bars alone. I was so nervous!

I go everywhere alone, I'm not going to deny myself from doing something I want to do just because I can't find anyone else who wants to do it with me, I just go do it. If you go to a bar and sit at the bar you'll make plenty of friends, people can't help themselves but to try and make conversation.

Long before the internet and gay dating apps came into existence, gay bars perfected the art of creating safe spaces for the queer community. Unlike in the past, when gay bars were hidden, modern queer bars are as common as any mainstream bars in most countries. As long as you maintain a respectful presence, you can hang out in a gay bar regardless of your sexual orientation.

Funnily enough, I went by myself to a gay club for the first time on Saturday. (I'd been to clubs/bars before, but with others). I had put off going alone before, too, but no one there minded or looked at me like I was 'desperate' for being there on my own. I definitely agree with everyone else's posts and think you should give it a go. Have fun!.
