Have you tried online dating websites?
I know there's alot of media hype about them being a "con", but some are genuine and i've had a few friends who have met there significant others through dating websites and are now happily engaged/married.
I used to use a dating website in my late teens as i used to feel like i'd be "single" forever. Strangely enough i never went on the site to meet anyone! I went on because an old friend of mine always used to go on about how fun the chatroom used to be, so i used to go in the chatroom every evening.
I met SO many people (male and female) and 5 years on i'm still very good friends with some of them!
I found once i settled in i felt comfortable. As, like you, i wasn't overly confident about going out/meeting people. I went out alot from the ages of 16-18, then my confidence took a nose dive. Then i met up with the people i spoke to in the chatroom, we used to go to london all the time for evenings out.
*big hugs* It's all down to confidence. Have you thought of going to any hobby groups or evening classes? They can boost your confidence lots.
Don't let the fact you're disabled/gay stop you from going out and meeting others. You have just as much of a right as anyone else to have fun and find love & friendships.
*big huggles*
You WILL find someone. It's just a case of when and where. There's hope for everyone, so keep your chin up hunny.
