About

A bit about this site and how it came to be:

This Gay Dating Tips website exists because most of us weren't taught when we were younger how to date, flirt, or socialize as gay men.

Everything we have ever learned about finding a gay date, how to flirt with men or to successfully cruise gay men we've had to find out on our own or reverse engineer dating tips and advice from the "straight" world, (When we've been able to find some decent tips.).

Hence this site on Gay Dating Tips...

Every dating tip and every article or lesson on gay dating that you read at this site was written from a gay man's perspective; mine. Every lesson, tip, article or recommendation that you read on this site comes from my own personal experiences.

You'll find that I write or talk candidly about both my triumphs and my downfalls in dating. You'll laugh at my mistakes and hopefully avoid them yourselves.

And I know that if you apply even just a few of my ideas you'll find that your own life and dating experiences will benefit greatly from them.

For the past several years (since 2003) a lot of gay men have been reading these gay dating tips on the site. Frankly, the response has been overwhelming!

Regardless of your age, if you're a gay man who's been looking for some decent gay dating tips, articles, reviews or advice, (including online dating service tips) written from a gay mans perspective then you're in luck!

Whether you're looking for a permanent gay partner relationship or a casual gay sexual encounter, Gay Dating Tips is the site that you need to be reading.

So how did this project start?

A funny thing happened one day... I was searching for information and brainstorming for some dating articles on one of my other websites. On a whim, I wondered if there were any good articles or tips for gays. Even though I'm a gay guy who met a number of great guys on the Internet, including one whom I lived with for four years it just hadn't occurred to me to look for such stuff.

Well, as it turned out my search was in vain, all I was coming up with were sites that had links to gay dating services. Nothing wrong with that, (I'm featuring gay dating services on this site too.). No, the problem was I just wasn't finding any tips and articles. Yeah, I know match.com has some great articles by gay writers, so does Planet Out - wasn't looking for those...

Anyway to cut a long story short; once again on a whim - I typed in GayDatingTips.com, surely they would have some of what I was looking for. Nope, because it didn't exist and it wasn't registered! So, with the consultation of my partner, (now my husband -- who I met through an online personal ad) we became partners again, only this time in the business sense.

After some more research, we both felt that a. there was a need for such a site and b. that I actually had some experience in this area that a lot of other gay guys would find helpful. And lastly, I tend to write in a way and about topics that everyone can understand and enjoys reading.

If you've read this far, by now you've realized that this ain't your ordinary "about us" page. There's an understatement!

What else can I say "about us"? There's myself, Robin I live in Nova Scotia, Canada.

There's Ian; my adorable friend, lover, partner and husband who still believes in my crazy Internet projects, (such as this one) and he puts his money on the table when he thinks I'm on the right track. He also helps out in some of the editing. If you see any errors - they're all mine.

Wishing you joy and dating success!
