Re: queer mingling

volunteering at least gave me something to do and look around (and give to community)

Re: queer mingling

True true. Do you volunteer often? Because now that I think about it, if you haven't already, keeping up with the job is a great way to meet new people and see those same people again. I'm assuming you know some names, and a bit about some of the people there, so it softens the re-introduction and you have a common base (eg: went to the same party; volunteer; remember you both like ___).

And, in my experience here, it's not that uncommon to have trouble breaking into established circles in the queer community at events unless you already know someone. A lot of people show up to a club, waiting to be talked to, and are disappointed when it doesn't happen, and shy away from coming back. Like with any social excursion, you have to keep at it. Become a regular face. You're already working on being in the community, so I think this is going to be an inevitability regardless of how fast/slow it takes.

Seconding cloud_riven's post! And also pointing out that this is a single experience. I've done a decent chunk of one-time only volunteering gigs where I've known absolutely no one going into them, and sometimes they're amazing and the conversation and experience with the people I meet is great and memorable, and other times, they're awkward, tedious or rushed, or the people I'm grouped with and I just don't click. Or, over the course of a long night, they're all of those things...

Plus, I'd wager even the party lions have a night or two where they just can't. Like this:
