Let’s be honest about this – dating as a gay man is hard enough without throwing the whole “twink dating” factor into things. Listen – you like what you like. I like what I like. We all have our sexual preferences. It seems that finding someone compatible with those sexual preferences is getting increasingly more difficult in this current dating world
To make life a bit easier, here’s a bit of advice. From one twink single to another – the complete beginner’s guide to “twink dating”.
Right at the beginning, once you’ve made arrangements to go on a date with someone, have a bit of respect and turn your online dating site profile page to private. Is it wrong to expect monogamy of sorts for just one night only? If you like that cute little twink you have in front of you, don’t let the opportunity go to waste and give him your full attention. How would you feel if you were out on a date with a hot guy and he was more interested about the other hot guys on the twinks dating site? Have a bit of respect and be his for at least the duration of the date, if nothing else.
Don’t Facebook shoutout every part of your first date with your new guy. Facebook-tagging your date just highlights what you guys are up to and if things don’t work out for the best, you’re going to look pretty embarrassed. There are some things that you should be keeping quiet… Your wild night out with that “hot twink” is probably of them. Although you SHOULD tell someone where you are going so that your own personal security is not at risk, you SHOULDN’T be telling everybody. Not everybody wants to know.
You might know that you like twinks, you may even be one yourself, but that doesn’t mean that you can label the guy you’re meeting tonight. From personal experience, even if you met on a twinks dating website, the label itself may not be appropriate.
So there are the things that you can’t do when you start dating in the “twink dating world”. What about the things that you can do? It can’t all be doom and gloom, surely?
By all means be yourself – have fun, open up and go into things with an open mind. If this is the first time you’ve ever been on this type of niche dating website, you are guaranteed to be nervous, but a great first date with a great special someone can really help to put your nerves at ease.
Plan a date that works out well for you both. You might like rock climbing but that doesn’t mean that everyone does. You might want it to be this grand, romantic occasion with the ‘perfect’ first date but reality very rarely works that way, and you are likely to be disappointed.
So what are you waiting for? Is it time to sign up? Is it time to join in with the other twink singles looking for love, fun and romance? Have a peek inside… You might never turn back!
