I've had three sexual partners. Only one was long term.
I don't know what you mean by making an effort to date? I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I've looked into speed dating and singles groups. I hang out with LGBT groups. I was on the only site that lets you be bisexual without having multiple accounts (or changing preferences) and there weren't really any matches. There wasn't much interest from other people either, just the generic "Hey" messages guys send to everyone. I can't really have an online dating profile anyway. What if a future student or parent finds it and finds something inappropriate in it or the fact that it exists is inappropriate?
I don't know why I bother trying. I've had the most success when I put in zero effort, like when I met my ex.

Why worry now when you aren’t a teacher yet?
Future students and teachers cannot find your profile on a dating sites because they do not even know you as they aren’t actually your students NOW. So if you create profile now, it can’t possibly effect your future students. By the time you actually teach, you might already have someone to date.
But if you still have your profile there by the time you teach, it’s not inappropriate or against the law to have dating profiles. I am a teacher, well my students likely don’t gave profiles on dating sites but some parents likely do. I used to be on dating sites for some time.
What’s inappropriate about having online dating profile? That’s the first time I hear such thing. It’s nothing to do with students and their parents. Sure maybe if I posted naked pictures of myself for everyone to see that would not be ok, but dating sites? Who cares? I’d just laugh with kids if they said “my dad saw your profile on a dating site”. Turn it into a laugh about modern dating for us old folks lol Who cares? Don’t take it so seriously. Do you think it’s inappropriate to do online dating? Most people, including students and parents, can’t care less how you go about dating.
Sure you can meet someone without any effort. That happens of course. But if it’s nit happening there are resources to help you
Oh yeah gay bars is a good idea. We have local gay hang out in a neighbor city. That’s an option.
