Where Do I Begin?

Dear Brian,
Tell me where to begin.  I'm a computer nit-whit. All I know how to do is e-mail. All I have is a note book and a printer. My name is Bob.  I'm retired -which does not mean I'm old, but I do have a few years under my belt.  My sister and I live together in a high profile subdivision.  I'm gay.  I want companionship.  I'm educated.  Is that a beginning?
 - Bob

Dear Bob,
That's a beginning all right!  Next, you need to get a flattering (but current and honest) photo of yourself.  If you don't have one, get one made.  It doesn't have to be from a professional portrait studio.  A clear snapshot will do.  If you don't have a scanner, take the pic to Office Max or another store where they will scan your photo and upload it to a disc (for a couple of dollars).  If you're writing me an email, you must have an account at Date.com.  Upload your photo, write a simple but to the point profile, and start searching for men in your area.  If someone catches your eye, don't be shy, let him know with an email.  But don't stay glued to the computer screen.  Get out to where the gay guys gather in your area.  Until other men know you exist, they'll never know what they're missing.
