Steps

  1. 1
    Look beyond the stereotypes. Not all gay men fit the stereotypes that we see everywhere in modern culture. Don't try to make them. Acknowledge that each gay man, like each human being, has his own personality and interests, and get to know him as a person rather than a stereotype.

  2. 2
    Understand that you might or might not be viewed as romantically attractive. Gay men might evaluate other men based on their physical attractiveness, just like straight women do. But not all gay men will. And just like anyone else, different people have different tastes.
  3. 3
    Recognize that gay men deal with romantic attraction just like heterosexual men. Most gay men, perhaps even more than most men in general, will be perfectly polite and understanding if they have feelings that are unrequited. Gay men are perfectly capable of keeping their hands to themselves.
  4. 4
    Make sure to stay safe. If you're in a relationship with a gay man, make sure to use protection just as you would in a heterosexual relationship. It's always important to keep yourself and your partner safe and healthy.
  5. 5
    Always be polite and considerate. Know that gay men are, above all, people just like you. Their sexuality does not have to be the defining aspect of your relationship with them.
