How can I date as a gay teen?
Howdy. My message for you is that you're in good company. What I recommend for guys in your situation is to go online to safe, trustworthy sites, such as PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). Any sites they suggest to meet other guys are fine. Here are some pointers:Meet in a public place like a coffee shop with the understanding that you just want to talk in person.If they are over 18, have a nice conversation then drop their lying ass like a hot potato.Other red flags to avoid are: Drama queen, judgmental, obnoxious to staff.And of course, always be safe.Edit: I’ve noticed several of the other answers - from gay teens themselves - are recommending Grindr. This is a bad idea for several reasons:You're breaking the rules of the site because you're under 18. They're within their rights to ban you permanently.You will likely find yourself drawn to guys over 18, which puts them in the situation of having illegal, X-rated chat over the app with someone they thought was of age. If your parents somehow found out an adult were doing that with their child, how might they respond?Having sex with someone even 18 years old could easily have them prosecuted for statuary rape and forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of their life.People lie all the time on those sites. You're making yourself vulnerable to the attention of vastly older men who are specifically targeting underage boys.Grindr is not a dating site; it's a hookup site. Do you really want to subject yourself to that dynamic in real life - while closeted and in high school?
What are some creative date ideas for teens that are better than just a plain old movie?
Great Ideas by everyone. Here are a few of mine:Go for a walk and continue to walk in a random direction with no purpose other than to walk until you look at your phone and realize “Oh shit its time to get home”Get onto the roof of a multiple story building. Bring something to eat or drink. Try it at night too.Walk or bike to a friends house. Don’t tell them your coming.Joy ride in a car with the windows and skylight down and the radio blaring.Smoke a joint.Find a park with some swings and swing for hours. Take turn pushing.Stay after school in a classroom and just talk.Run around in the rain until your both soaking wet and then go back inside.Walk on abridge and look out over the river/city.Go to a party at someones house.Go indoor rock climbing.BarbecueCook something together.Basketball or another sport that's easy for two people. If your dates isn’t as good as you teach them what you know.Vidya games.Listening to each others playlists.Reading any poems/writing you guys have written.Ethnic food restaurant you’ve never tried. See who will get the weirdest food and then try each others dishes.Maybe just maybe you will get some sex.If they play a sport attend one of their games. Go out for a meal afterwards.Its a first date so I wouldn’t try anything to fancy as it might weird them out. Do a simple meal but chose a sit down non fast food restaurant. Save these ideas for later dates. Good luck!
What are some good date options for teenagers if you don’t have a car?

If a group of girls are going to Homecoming dance without dates, should they wear corsages?
Usually the guy provides the corsage for the girl. I would suggest that you "single" girls get together and pick out a single flour...like a pink rose bud (like a bouttenier for men or in your hair)...and wear them to designate that you are there as a "single". Just tell a few guys and before you know it, they'll all be looking for the girls with the rose buds. Godloveya'll and have fun!
How can I make it easier for other teenagers who have helicopter parents to go on a date with me, because most people I try to date have protective parents?
Maybe flip and ask yourself if you have helicopter parents ? I’ll assume you don’tAs a parent, I was more low flying helicopter with some people my kids hung out with than others.It’s trust. And if they don’t know you then it could be they are misjudging you or prejudging you.Some people judge others, who have tattoos or wear certain clothes, or speak a differnt way.Maybe because you are a guy and they think you may be after only one thingAsk yourself some questions as to why this comes up. I’m not saying change who you are, but do inquireLooking outside of yourself for the problem is not to your advantage. Do some soul searching
