I can make you one promise I will deliver on; I'll be like no one you've ever met. I try to be my own person. I am 1/2 Italian (mom's side) & 1/2 Native American (dad's side). I work to live, not live to work. I work hard and play just as hard. I'm financially stable, own my own home, responsible, drama free, but don't look or live like someone my age. I know how a lady should be treated, and I treat them well. I'm a rare find these days from what I'm told. I just prefer to be very upfront, as I'm usually a very blunt & honest person. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it.

Typically on the weekend I'm with my peeps for dinner, drinks, or coffee. I also like to get out to shake my booty on Saturday nights, sometimes do karaoke. I also like to go to baseball games (go Braves!), watch college football (go Gators!), and an occasional basketball game (go Celtics!) I also watch a bit of WWE, have since I was a kid.

Musically I listen to just about everything except classical. I could be listening to Nickelback today, Garth Brooks tomorrow, the Black Eyed Peas the next day. I don't watch much TV, maybe football on Sundays.

What I'd like in a woman:
1. Have a stable place to live
2. Have some source of income (legal source please) to support themself
3. I prefer women shorter than I am
4. A sense of humor, regardless of how obscure or goofy it is
5. A decent idea of what she wants out of life
6. A car. It's usually best to meet somewhere for a first date
7. The ability to carry on a conversation
8. Tattoos/piercings are cool since I have 2 tats & pierced ears
9. The ability to get out of the house once a week
10. No criminal record is preferred

A first date would usually be coffee, drinks, or dinner. Movies aren't an ideal first date thing since you can't get to know one another. I like to really get to know someone on a first date. I'm really open to input as to what to do besides the above options.
