Back To The(POF)Future...
Was off for a while, dating a very nice gal, but distance and time restraints unfortunately, made it difficult for both of us. She is a sweetheart, and I wish her the very best.....

I'm a single Dad (actually, divorced several years ago) with a well-behaved (of course I have been known to be delusional before!), humorous, ( MY DNA, no doubt :), 13 year old son.... Yes, full time.....His Mom's still in rehab! (just kidding)....

By the way, would anybody say "yes" to the question, " Do you do drugs" ?????????? Must be a legal thing for P.O.F. (Again - No, I don't! , just to be clear!)

Let's see, I enjoy most outdoor activities & sports (including triple digit golf and racquetball), motorcycles/boats (too bad I sold both last year), Colorado ski "adventures", and annual vacation trips to Florida/The Keys. (Native St. Louisan, but lived in West Palm Beach, Florida, Wellington, to be exact, for 7 yrs).

If I was there right now (Key West / The Florida Keys), I'd enjoy several cups of French Roast coffee, 2 aspirin (may have been up late, the night before), Eggs Benedict w/strawberries & blueberries at a great, 2 hour long, Sunday Brunch at Casa Marina- no, the other Casa Marina, (the one with Spanish architecture). Whoa, I'm stuffed! Then, I would walk it off, on Duval St. and check out the shops, restaurants, marinas, - and yes - bars,, -or- flop over on the beach and let the sun bake me to a beet red, or if the Sun Gods are watching over me, a dark tan with "raccoon eyes" (sunglasses side effect). Perhaps some fishing or snorkeling, midday. Later, that evening, I'd catch "Pete & Wayne", a couple of very funny comedians/singers, at Sloppy Joe's. (Remember, in this scenario, we ARE in the Keys. Libations, and excessive laughter,,, perhaps followed by romance,,,,, are the order of the day!) I AM going again to Key West's FantasyFest (like Mardi Gras, but on a smaller more exciting scale) in late October, next year. Can't miss it! Too much fun PEOPLE WATCHING !) Wanna go??

I live in a home, I have a vehicle, I work. I even know the difference between "They're", "There" and "Their"... THERE!... Amaaaazing!!
I enjoy socializing with my friends. I like an ice cold bottle of beer, a glass of wine, or a margarita (on the rocks, no salt). Even a cigar, sometimes, on a hot summer day. Pretty darn normal. (Yaaaaawn).

Music? Glad you asked. Jazz( I really miss Love 94, a Miami jazz station-now turned into a mindless format, by some numbers-watching junior exec at Clear Channel), some classic rock, after JC gets off the air (that's JC Corcoran, long time morning talk jock on K-Hits, NOT The Son of God), even a little country, or blues, now & then. Maybe some NPR or KMOX in the morning. It sure beats Corcoran's self-indulgency, or a blaring alarm clock (which are really one and the same, ha,ha). Haven't his callers learned NOT to talk while JC is busy interrupting???? Ahhh, little Napoleans , ha,ha!:) Update: JC's gone, and good morning music reigns! As far as celebrities go, who the heck are Jon and Kate??? And do I care about their spats and divorce??? Nope.

Work ?? I have a very small residential construction company. I have always worked in the real estate biz- contractor, Real Estate agent, banker, and even as a wholesale sub-prime mortgage loan officer, excuse me, "Account Executive!" (I single-handedly caused the World-wide banking crisis !!---- OOOOPS!) I also trade equities (stocks). Warren Buffett calls ME!, almost daily, for financial insight and advice. Just yesterday, I explained to him that, YES, he could apply for, AND recieve, food stamps, IF he would only purchase MY DVD series, "Getting Your Tax Dollars Back, One Way or Another!" $50.00 value, but it's your's for only $29.95.... plus handling and processing, followed by a seemingly endless pile of junk e-mail.

I DO NOT WISH TO DATE AN "ATTACHED" WOMAN. Or carry on 3 month's worth of e-mail & phone conversations, and never meet. (Shades of E-Harmony!!) Nor do I want to date a girl looking for "a Bad Boy"-- I'm not him. However, late night "role playing" could be fun! Searching for a prince? Sorry, no royal blood line here. Are you looking a "friend"???? Well, keep smokin' "Hope-ium", babe!!!!! Most guys, at our age, have plenty of female friends. And those guys who don't ??? Well, that should be a big red flag for you!! We/I am on here looking for a relationship, which, shockingly enough, includes the romantic/physical/sexual side of things.... On the other hand,, think you're "Hot Stuff"??? Well, guess you missed my profile headliner about Modesty... Not sure that I wanna date an ego... There's something very alluring about someone who also has an "imperfection" or two,,,you know - human- just like me... Maybe you seek a "Knight in Shining Kevlar" (modern-day armor)?? Nah, that's not me either, but I've got some aluminum foil in the kitchen.......

Of course, in this world of full disclosure, I must tell you that a Background Check would reveal a 1980's DUI (of course they were called DWIs back then- more alphabet soup!).. I crashed a mere 3 seconds after the above motorcycle/dirt bike picture was taken , and "snaf-fooed" my tibia and fibula (lower leg bones). I spent 6 weeks off of work recovering,,, with WAY too much free time on my hands to get into trouble- ahh, mistakes of my "YOOT"!)

I am looking to meet someone that's intelligent, cute (can a guy use that word???) has a sense of humor/wit/sarcasm, and weight/height relatively proportionate (no,no, NOT the Trophy Wife type, just average -no, I'm not at my high school weight either).

If you have long time friends (always a positive sign), believe in personal integrity in a relationship and your life in general, AND have a NOTE from your best friend- scribbled on a wine stained paper napkin at 1:45am on an early Sunday morning, that attests to your charming personality & great character traits,,,,(ha,ha),,,,

Well then, go ahead.....

Take a chance and write!

The first date would be a quick one. Lunch, coffee, a drink, two drinks,,,,well, never mind. Something like that. If there's some spark of chemistry, well, that's what we are both looking/hoping for.. If not, perhaps an afternoon in a hot tub, with shallow, sultry, sexy overtones! LOL! Hmm, now where can I rent a hot tub???? Kidding, of course....Either way, it was still great to meet and share a few laughs..

Dave

P.S. one of my pictures is a VERY casual one, (of course the rest are SOOOO formal, ha,ha...) in my backyard, which apparently needs mowing! Now if I could just set these drinks down and grab the Toro.........

Please include a relatively recent picture, if you write. ("Recent" does NOT include a high school yearbook shot or a 12 years ago/XX lbs. lighter, photo. Just "be" yourself. Yes, I AM slowly learning.) IF the rest of us can toss our "mug" out here......

More aftermath thoughts- This profile is a work in "regress". Please feel free to stop by again- and, go ahead - give me your opinion. How I can improve myself if I don't get input from others? If you see that I've read your e-mail, but not yet replied, I will soon. Just remember, I suffer from a Seriously Impaired Typing Disorder and takes me a little while to type a reasonably intelligent response. One more disclaimer. I know I mention a drink or two, "romance" and several other vices in here, but if you are starting to think that I do any of this in excess (excessive romance???, IS there such a thing????), then you're taking my profile way too seriously! I'm just easy going and love to laugh at certain things in life! And if I put you on my favorites list, but haven't messaged you yet, maybe just maybe, I'm waiting to see if my profile interests you. Someone recently "axed" me if I talk as much as I write. No, would be the answer. This profile started out short, but over time , I have added a little here, a little there, and now it's almost a novel ! (Asleep yet???? LOL!) If you've read down to here, AND send an email my way, I'll know possibilities MAY be there.

Dear DoesDebi45 a.k.a. IONLYWONABWITU, a.k.a. LIFE_AFTER_DIVORCE, Thank you for the very nice testimonial !!! A manila envelope with 5 crisp, unmarked, one hundred dollar bills is taped to the bottom of table #7 at the local IHOP, as agreed! Ha,ha
