Hello Guys!

Twilighting is an early evening drinks and food gathering, a chance for gay and bisexual men to get together, hang out and unwind after a long week with like-minded guys in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment. There's no particular structure to the evening, just come as you are, at any point!

For a 2nd consecutive week we will again have some drinks and food @ The Phoenix Arts Club, a very welcoming entertainment club which is conveniently placed for Soho's lively gay scene.

DETAILS

This group is for friendship and dating, designed to reach out to others and create mutual support. The concept is simple: helping each other get out there in the world. Some meet-ups will be limited to 10 places so it’s not too overwhelming for new members. Simplicity is key — by thorough advance checking of details, e.g., seating, cloakroom, dress code etc., we can properly manage expectations and minimise the risk of potential pitfalls so do feel free to get in touch if you wish to ask anything about the venue, event etc.!

Stickers will be provided to write names on. Being shy and introverted can mean you’re concentrating so hard on getting the social interaction right, you often forget their name or forget to ask (I’m prone to that)!

I don’t charge fees for attending our meet-ups. All I ask is that a one-off discretionary donation is made for your first time. This is to help cover the cost of running the group. Meetup groups are not free to run and cost £130 over the course of a year. I've put a link below (Paypal) where you give a one-off donation of £5 (or any amount) to help out. The group will always remain free so there is no obligation but it would be greatly appreciated. The link works on both desktops and smartphones.

    Shy Bi's & Gay Guys

    I run the "Shy Bi's & Gay Guys" & "London Gay Socials" groups on Meet-up.

    Shyness and social anxiety can hold guys back from forming meaningful platonic and romantic relationships. It can be tough enough ‘coming out’, but being introverted can make it even more of a challenge and sometimes you need a gentle push.

    So, whether you consider yourself to be ‘gay’, ‘bi’, ‘bi-curious’, ‘pansexual’ or any other label; whether you are ‘in the closet’, ‘out’ or in the process of ‘coming out’; whether you are vulnerable or feel at risk, this group brings us together. We embrace those who have experienced depression, anxiety, loneliness or isolation, especially if you may be considered on the spectrums of ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s, Bipolar, OCD and/or Schizophrenia.

    You may be a highly sensitive person who experiences intense highs and lows to an extreme degree. You may be an artistic Creative with a vivid inner world hidden and locked away. You may feel easily overwhelmed by large groups of people, unsettled by the turbulence of the LGBT dating scene or sidelined/neglected in a whirlwind of rapidly spinning social circles. Anxiety may have even prevented you from moving forwards in friendships and relationships with other people because you're afraid of either hurting or getting hurt. This Meetup group is designed for you!

    Have you ever taken years to build up the confidence to go to an event only to be disappointed? Want to attend an LGBT event but held back by your shyness? Simply come as you are. There’s no need to pretend anymore. This is just a get together for people who don’t want to be on their own, to feel comfortable and foster a nice, friendly circle of people. And if you want to come but don’t feel like talking much, then that’s cool, too! Take it at your own pace.

    Women are also very welcome! :-)
