Looking for a girlfriend.....
 
I'm 16, and i'm home-schooled. I come from an extremly small community and everyone around here is homophobic which is exactly why they don't know i'm bi. I want a gf soooo bad but I don't know where to find one at I mean in my position there's not a big variety. What can I do? I was thinking of trying my best to find some kinda LGBT Club around Quincy Illinois becasuse I live kinda sorta around there but it's not going so well. I was also thinking a youth group buuuuut i'm not sure how many gay people go to youth group or church events. I'm Christian and love love love church events because well church is all I really have at this point in my life. I always imagine how it would effect my life to have the whole "Spashley" thing you know from South of Nowhere. Can you help me?

Hi Lillian

I understand at times how frustrating this can get for you. Like you said; in this day and age more and more people are starting to show resentment toward the LGBT crowd.

Besides an LGBT club; there are a plethora of sites where you can meet other people. A popular one is Trevor Space which is similar to a Facebook but with LGBT users. A simple google search of "LGBT programs" would bring you to a lots other you can try too.

Also do know that even straight people do have trouble finding "love", never feel discouraged that you aren't able to find a "GF". Just give it time and things will fall into place

Hi Lilli,
I totally understand where you come from. I come from a family of Christian-Baptist where its suppose to be a man and a woman in a relationship. Well in my home town Lincoln Park which is by Detroit, MI. I have found a LGBT group at EMU but I haven't been to any events yet. I am looking for a girlfriend as well and I am having the same difficulties as you. But I hope we both can find a girlfriend and maybe become friends.:)

Hey Lillian. The site is called TeenHelp, so if you ask for it, we give it. :p

If you can't find any LGBT specific groups near you, then just try to get as involved in the community as you can. The youth group you mentioned might be a good start - after all, what do you have to lose? The more things you do and people you know, the greater your chances of meeting people like you, and potentially finding a girlfriend.

I know it can be hard, and make you feel like you're alone, but remember that you're not. I come from a small town too, so I know where you're coming from. But just give it time, keep looking, and don't let it get you down if it takes a while. Rest assured, someday you will find the right girl for you, and all the searching will have been worth it.

Good luck. :)
