Some people think it’s mean but there are people out there who want to hurt other people and people who want to hurt or prey on LGBTQ youth in particular. Meet up for dates in well-populated public places and make sure someone knows where you’re going and who you’re going with–also maintain a sharp, cynical register that would make Dana Scully wince. There are dating apps that you can explore (ensuring you’re familiar with consent laws in your state.) Of course, make sure to do it carefully. You don’t even have to go to your nearest LGBTQ center for a youth dance or event. Well, great news you don’t have to hit up the LGBTQ club at your school–which if you’re in Canada is every school. Maybe you could watch some TV together, maybe some… Teen Wolf? (I don’t believe you.) Still, you’d like to find some other queer people in your area for some fun, possibly romantic, hang outs. Okay, fine don’t get mad you don’t watch Teen Wolf. But watching Teen Wolf begets longing for dates, as the old saying goes. Don’t look at me like that–I know you watch it. So you’re tired of sitting around watching MTV’s Teen Wolf.
