Hi there. I'm Dan, and I'm gay. Duh. I'm also an educator, a gamer, a singer, an historian, kind of a nerd, a cook and baker, a (wannabe) writer and many other things besides. I like to go out with my friends, to see a movie, or have dinner (I don't do bars/clubs), but I also like to just hang out at home with my friends. Watch tv or play board games or something. I don't need a lot of complicated planning and hundreds of dollars worth of electronics to have fun. Sometimes, simple is good. I like to go to amusement parks with friends and scream for hours on roller coasters. I like to go to the gym once in a while, work out or take a class, and melt in the steam room. I like to go down to the shore and people watch along the boardwalk. None of these things cost a fortune, and can be a great way to spend time with folks (or even alone). For you, just be who you are, not who you think I want you to be (and accept the same from me), and we'll get along just fine. And a random question: What is it with so many gay men today. They say they're looking for friends, or for a relationship, and in reality, all they want is random hookups. If that's you, please go away. Anyone who thinks they can base a long term relationship on sex is lying. To themselves, and to their partner(s). I want someone to talk to. Someone to hang out with. Someone with whom I can do more than just get the sheets sweaty. In short: relationship material. Is that too much to hope for?
