Who knows women like the gays??

How does your average awkward straight fellow go about finding a gay friend to help with the ladies? Being the observant sort I have come to notice that a good number of gay guys I know tend to hang out with large groups of incredibly good looking girls. I have also noticed that they have a much easier repor when meeting said lovelies. Now as for me I am actually incredibly charismatic once I am comfortable with people, I am the kind of guy who grows on you. Furthermore I have been told I am good looking enough that I can see it being true, even if I wouldnt admit it outside of the internets. Yet I am also incredibly socially awkward and I have come to the conclusion that I am ready to start dating again, but I need a little help.

I have friends, but they are generally spread out or, in committed relationships so not really the best candidates for the ever important wingman position. Also the closest thing I have to a gay friend in this city is my ex-GF and that doesnt fly for obvious reasons (such as if it were up to me we would still be together, but that is neither here nor there). I am an open minded guy, and I personally know 1 gay guy who would fit the bill, problematically the one who would best fit the bill is my ex's BFF and he lives in Raleigh (I am in DC).

I know there are gay bars around my house and stuff, and while I am reasonably certain therein reside gays, I don't know if its an appropriate place to go to try and find a platonic friend who will help me out with the ladies (a fairy godmother if you will).

I really hope this isnt being construed improperly, I am not trying to take advantage of anyone, nor am I stereotyping. I am just a nice guy who noticed that hot girls seem to gravitate to the gays, I am just naive about these things, but I think I have a good plan, I just need to find a gay friend to make it work.
