Here goes nothing

I live in what is supposed to be the best city in the U.S. for singles. I'm coming quickly to the conclusion that the rating has nothing to do with the people that live here. I've been single for sometime now and I'll tell you what lives here - one night stands. There's plenty to do just not one decent soul to do it with. So here's the reason to start the blog, now my roommate has talked me into online dating. I've been on the site for about 2 weeks now and the prospects aren't much better. Yes, my standards are high, but no one should have to settle. I've talked to a couple of guys and am probably am going to meet one of them this weekend. I know that I'm jaded, my synicism grows with every new date, and I'm trying to be positive, but expectations are very low. It's going to be an interesting year to say the least. I'm tired of my job and burn out is coming along very quickly, I'm tired of dating, mostly I'm just tired. Here's what I want right now - I need to win a lottery, pay off all my bills, sell my car and buy my truck, and then just go away. I want to drive for weeks on end and have no worries, no where to be, and nothing that I have to do. With all that in mind we'll just have to see what happens.
