Whether among friends, in the gay cinema or in the gay sauna: there are always special occasions and mottos that want to be celebrated. Gay parties are particularly popular in connection with celebrations. Depending on the orientation, this is far from being "just" about being among like-minded people. Rather, gay parties also quickly become singles events, where it is particularly fun to put out feelers a little.
Of course, there is no guarantee that you will find "Mr. Right" or "Mr. ONS" at one of the next events. But there are a few tips that can help to perhaps at least take the right path.
Tip No. 1: If possible, rely on the expertise of friends
This tip applies especially to those who are looking for a permanent partner and have been invited to private gay parties. The search for the "better half" is often especially promising when the partner-to-be has already been "waved through" by friends. Or in other words: if the person in question fits in with the circle of friends, there is a high probability that he or she also has relationship qualities.
Tip No. 2: The healthy middle ground
... between "reserved" and "offensive". If you want to flirt, you should neither stand out too much nor too little at a party. This undertaking turns out to be especially difficult when more and more alcohol is involved at a later hour.
Therefore, it is all the more important to hold back a little here, if necessary, so as not to shoot yourself out of the running in terms of exciting flirting opportunities.
Tip No. 3: Stay positive
If you're in a bad mood and already think you'll "probably never find the right partner," you'll inevitably ruin your own chances. Men who are dissatisfied with themselves and the world rarely exude the flair that attracts others. Therefore - even if it may sometimes be difficult - stay positive!
Tip #4: Be curious
Those who have attended many gay parties often make the mistake of jumping to conclusions. For example, the room is often scanned without noticing some guests. What a pity! Perhaps they are the very guests with the highest flirting potential?
The reasons why these "uncut diamonds" sometimes go unnoticed can be many and varied. Often it is simply too large a number of guests, which ensures that one or the other is swallowed. Therefore: Be curious and in case of doubt rather look twice!
Tip #5: Rubbers and a suitable retreat
Depending on the location and the occasion of the party, it may of course be that both - rubbers and a place to retreat - are provided anyway. In the context of private parties among friends, however, this is usually not the case. If you want to be on the safe side here, you should always take appropriate precautions. This means: clean up the apartment in case he still wants to come along for a "nightcap" and don't forget rubbers.
Conclusion
In the meantime, there are many opportunities for gays to get to know each other better at parties. The direction in which the evening will go can largely be "read" from the type of party. For example, it should be clear that sex is more likely to occur in a gay movie theater than in a cozy evening among friends.
Therefore, if you don't want to be disappointed, you should first deal with the "general conditions" in order to be able to prepare yourself as best as possible for what is to come. In the vast majority of cases, however, it is also simply nice to let everything come to you a little.
