Why is finding a boy so hard?

Ok so, I'm out to most of the people in my life. It's been quite a journey but for the most part it's been good. I just decided to switch from my magnet school to the home school I should be going too and this is really sticking a wrench into my life's gears.

You see, I know people that go to this school from when I was in middle school. To them I am straight which means that I have to repeat the coming out process all over...
Trying to be positive I see one good thing that may possibly come of me coming out to new people... Maybe I'll finally find a guy who's boyfriend material. I've had a crush on someone at my current school for a while but it's a kindergarten crush I expected nothing from it.
Finding a boyfriend is hard to do. It definately has to do with the fact that gays are a small minority in an overcrowded sea of straights. There are less of us and to some extent many of us are much pickier than our straight counterparts. Looks are very important for many of us and many of us limit ourselves to a type. I am guilty of limiting my options based on appearance.
The thing is I've begun to wonder if, by limiting who we look for we limit who we see. With comparitively so few of us maybe we should all open our eyes to every gay person. Because you never know where true love might be hiding from you.
