Here it is at 1:00 AM on a Tue night/Wed morning and as usual I can't sleep.  So I've got the iPod going and I've got all the stuff together for this week's Thirsty Thursday entry.  I promised not to bring work home with me tonight so I left it all on my desk, which feels weird.

Things aren't going well with the on-line dating thing.  The only two guys who have tried to contact me were way too old.  I've got my age range set from like 27 to 49 so I'm willing to go older but I think when you go too old or too young there is noting in common.  The couple of guys I've initiated contact with have not responded so there's just nothing happening.  If you check out the Dan Facts in my Site you see one of them is that I think I'll die alone.  I think this may true and it's not a happy thought.

I know I'm not the hottest guy in the world and I'm not the greatest guy in the world.  I'm just an average guy but a nice guy.  I am a very giving and caring person.  I'm always doing things for other people, it's just the way I was brought up.  I have put on a few extra pounds that I'm working on getting off and the work is paying off.  A guy at work told me yesterday that he can tell I'm loosing weight which was nice to hear and it was unsolicted comment.  Anyway, I have a good job, I own my house, I have great friends, I have a vacation condo in Mexico, I'm educated, and have lots of different interests.  I'm not pretentious.  I'm down to earth.

So what's the problem? It could be me?  It could be the small town in which I live (not as many fish in the sea theory)?  I just want a freaking date.  I'm not looking to pick out china, just go out and have a good time and see where it goes.  Hell, I don't even know if I remember how to have sex, but that's a whole other story.

Is a late 30-something gay man in a small town destined to be single in the not so big city?
