Now, hon, I don't know you. I don't know your background or your lifestyle or anything about you. Hell, I'm about half your age lol. But, I really hope what I say can help you because it's done wonders for my life. And here it is:
Just be yourself. Or, to use the vernacular, "just do you."
It don't matter what other people think about you or what they say to you. You're right, if your customers/clients actually take the time to look you up and find out all this personal information about *you* instead of *your company* then that's them. There is a line between a man and his job, which things like religion and sexuality should not mix. They do, but still. You're *not* your job. You're a man. And as we all, a man has needs.
I don't know much about the dating scene. I'm rather a...complicated home-body. I'm busy taking care of myself, for the time being. Maybe that's what you should be doing to. You know? Get all your ducks in a row - really work on yourself instead of go "prowling around for a warm body" or "hunting down a commitment man." It's a great possibility that whatever divine force you've agreed to support is giving you this time to work on yourself.
Figure out where you stand. Do you *want* to be out of that there closet, or are you comfortable inside it? There's no problem either way. Some guys like to maintain a low profile while others like to loud about it. What are *you* comfortable with? That should be your first question. Not what other people are saying about you. They aren't *you*. You've got to live with yourself, not them.
Next, work out that mid-life crisis of yours ^_-. I hear sports cars are an excellent way to go. Quite frankly, *I* was my father's midlife crisis. I don't think you need to go that far but *shrug* whatever floats you.
After you get all that worked out, then you go man-hunting . And that's going into territory I have no experience in (though I really wish I did *sniff*.)
You sound like you've got a good, steady job. Income means home, home means luxuries and so forth. That is more then some guys your age have right now. You're already off to a grand start! You get you figured out, and you'll be in the home stretch. I truly, honestly wish you the best of luck with whatever choices you make. I hope they lead you down the right path.
