I know exactly how you feel. I'm from small-town alabama. There are a few gay clubs around Birmingham, but that's totally not my scene at all. I've never been to, nor do I have any intentions of ever going to, a gay bar or club. I can count my gay friends on one hand, but I'm not interested in them, and they aren't interested in me. We're just friends. They don't really know that many gay people either, so there's no real possibility for blind dates or anything like that really. I'm pretty content being alone. I don't really go out of my way to meet people, and that's fine I suppose.... I try not to base my life around it....
Best of luck to you...

Okay so you are not 'into' bars that is fine - but at least stop in during the week some night. It willnot be nearly as croweded, you can pick up the local fag-rag (magazine) and find out what other things there are to do....plus you can ask the bartender for some advice on other places. Maybe there is a gay bowling league, or dart team.....once you meet some people throw a few parties - that will get you to know even more people!

You don't say where in Missouri, but I'm in St. Louis and lived in Missouri all my life. In this state you are just a few hours away from either St. Louis or Kansas City. I would look to which ever one is closer for you and get involved in the Pride organizations. This is a great way to meet other eligible folks and do something good for your own community. I don't know anything about KC's community but in St. Louis we have gay bowling leagues, gay softball, gay square dancing and just about everything else in between. You don't have to pick up your partner in a bar. Also if you are religious you might want to get involved with the MCC church, Metro Community Church, who's ministry is the GLBT community. There are all sorts of activities that might be more on your moral and ethical level. Google MCC St. Louis and Pride St. Louis, if you are closest to us, but I'm sure KC has just the same organizations. Good luck to you.

try gay.com it is like myspace, you can go on to chat and meet other people that are gay. You chat and if you decide you like them you can meet, i have met a lot of new friends over it. Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Doug

Go to a bigger town and volunteer for GLBT organizations, community centers or similar.
