Dating is not any easier if you are on the gay dating scene. You are still faced with all of the issues most singles face, only things are often more complicated because of your sexual orientation.
The level of complexity may directly be affected by whether or not you are out. Meeting that special person, or any person for that matter, is more difficult if people are not aware of your availability. Not to say that it is impossible to find someone if you are not out, but it makes it a little easier.
