I definitely know what I can give towards a relationship and I think I know what I want from the "perfect" relationship if there is such a thing. I have one daughter who is 17 and lives with me pretty much full time (she does not want to hang around me too much nowadays). My work schedule changes from time to time so I need someone who can understand that without getting too upset. You can get a little upset and I guarantee you that I will make it up to you. Heck, if I have to work, I have to work...something has to pay the bills. Obviously if you know what I do for a living, I do not use drugs. There are a lot of men in the fishpond who live with their Mom and say that their Mom lives with them (lie). I don't smoke and I do not drink too much (just one occasional drink is good). I am responsible and I will treat my future woman very very VERY special. I have a second home in Reno and I love to escape there because its quiet and there are a lot of new places I like to explore. I never thought it would be this hard to find someone who wants to be treated right. I've been on dates and then told I was 2nd place and then the woman said I was nicer. I want to be 1st place, not picked because some other guy turned out to be a flake or a nut on meds.

I think that a nice quiet dinner at a nice restaurant would be a perfect setting. Good food, good company and then maybe a cup of coffee at Starbucks. There was a time that I actually planned flying down to Las Vegas for dinner on a first date! Hey, you have to do something once in a while that will put you "over the top" of all the other guys! The competition is tough.
