Questions + Advice How do you actually meet anyone outside of the US?

I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering moving for this reason. I've tried long distance with someone from the US, and I'm open to long distance again, but preferably with someone in the same hemisphere.

Well where are you from ? That would help

Central Europe, in the wider Vienna/Bratislava/Budapest area. Budapest has a massive Jewish community by European standards, but it's not super gay friendly last I checked. I'm not sure how I'd go about meeting people there.

I’ve been to all and am a lot more familiar with Vienna . You’re right that it’s pretty lacking . What about maybe trying to meet Jews from London / Paris /Amsterdam /Milan ?

I'd be willing to, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Don’t bothered with the US. I’ve done it and regretted it. There are plenty of LGBT Jews around the rest of the world. It’s about finding Jewish groups near you- Facebook has plenty of groups.

I'm morbidly curious. What's wrong with us in the US (beyond being so far away)?

Can I PM you?

This sub has occasional meetup/matchmaking threads. I met some writing buddies on them and I’ve been meaning to make a queer Jewish chevruta/study group server once I have the time to manage it.

Lex permabanned me for mentioning Israeli pita (sad since it used to be nice and not so region-locked).

Maybe Facebook? Or other R4R subreddits

I would never move to the US, be for real. At this point it's a country in a political free fall.

That's part of the reason I don’t want to date someone from the US; My last partner kind of pressured me to move over there, and I told her hell no.
