Is it okay to just want to be single and date? I don't want to have a relationship right now and I just want to have fun.
Note: Anyone that responds to this that is not in the Gay community and bashes or has snide comments to make will be reported. Thank you.

There is absolutely nothing with with just wanting to date. Nobody should be pressured
Have all the fun you can with as many different types of people you can so that when you are ready to settle down, you have a better understanding of what your options are.
When the right person comes along, you will know. There is no need to hurry.

Yeah, no problem with that! If you don't want a relationship right now then being in one just for the sake of being in one is not going to make you happy at all. It's more important to get to know yourself and what you like before getting too serious, or you might end up making decisions you regret because you "love" someone.
If "having fun" involves experimenting though, just make sure to be safe!

Well, I'm not a gay guy, but I am a lesbian :)
Yeah, I see nothing wrong with it. I'm single right now, happy at being single. I got a lot to do with my life right now and I just don't feel like I'm stable enough to have a relationship. More importantly, I'm in school, and don't know where I'm going after. It would just be wrong to start something and then leave.

Sure, it's perfectly okay to remain single and date. There's nothing wrong with HAVING FUN, especially if you get to meet and fall in like, or even lust < wicked grin>, with lots of guys!
Remember....ALWAYS play safely. Period.)
You'll know when (or if) you're ready to settle down into a permanent relationship when the right guy comes along. Who knows, by that time it will be legal for you to marry.

I think it depends.If you're young and wanting to just enjoy your youth then go for it.But if you're older maybe it's time to grow up and realize you're not getting any younger and you don't want to end up a lonely old man who has to pay for a good time.Believe me, I have met that kind of person.You don't want that.Or maybe you do.I guess, you should do what makes you happy.I just hope that you can find happiness when you're old and not the looker you might have once been.

Yeah I think that's absolutely fine. Just be honest with people don't make them think there is something different going on. At the end of the day if you need to settle down you will in your own time. Remember - always be safe!

It's all up to you and what you're ready for. BUT, you need to make sure that those you date are fully aware that you're not looking for a commitment or a 'relationship'. You wouldn't want any bitterness and hurt feelings. Good luck in the ga(y)me!

I think it's perfectly fine...just be safe and honest/up-front with the guys you date. It's not selfish...but even if it was, it's a good kind of selfish. Especially if you're young, enjoy it! I'm just getting out of a 9.5 year relationship (getting a divorce) and am out dating guys. I'm having the time of my life!

It's ok if u haven't had a seriuos relationship yet.
you musn't have any relation until u have enough fun and dating.
It's too bad to disappoint the guy u related with.
