/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I have severe issues making friends at conventions and I need some advice on how to find the right people and stick with them.

>Male, feminine, gay
>Can't stand talking to other guys because they're either too *MANLY* or I'm scared they're gonna be homophobic and kick my ass
>Scared to talk to girls because I know they're always on-guard against male creeps and I don't want to harass them or be seen as a straight guy trying to hit on girls.
>Tried to make friends with girls who have boyfriends (So they know I'm not creeping) but they do weird hetero shit
>Guy openly squeezes his girlfriend's butt while looking at me to 'mark his territory'
>They hug and kiss each other while I'm there like a gay third-wheel and it's really uncomfortable
>Girl thinks I'm after her boyfriend
>Guy starts making sexual hints about a threesome or how he 'Might be bi' to tease his girlfriend
>Ew, I just want some con friends you weirdos.

I feel like I don't really fit in anywhere and I'm at the stage where I wander around cons on my own trying to pick out candidates for good friends and then realize I'm just doing a non-sexual version of creeping and nobody else does this ever. I'm clearly going about this the wrong way.

The thing is, I don't have the same problem making friends outside of cons/cosplay because I don't see them as real friends who I share interests with, so I don't give a shit if they don't like me or accept my hobbies. When it comes to cons though it's like all my natural confidence and fun goes out of the window because it feels like a job interview trying to make friends.

I just want some weeby friends, I don't care about looking cool - I'll take cringey fujoshi if it means we can laugh at Kuro and Haikyuu shit.
