So I'm back. Life dealt me some roadblocks during the summer through some family health issues. However, dealing with my father's illness only gives you perspective on things in life not being as bad as you think and the need to truly appreciate what you have in general.

Therefore, basically, I am back to finding that fun, attractive girl who is my partner in crime. I know partner in crime sounds cliche, but it is what I want. Someone that I enjoy being around so much that they aren't only someone I'm purely attracted to, but my bestfriend.

I am fairly normal in my likes and dislikes. I love college football (Clemson graduate). I love roadtrips. I can go anywhere on 24 hours notice at times. However, I love Destin, Savannah, Nashville, Charleston... I love live music. As a matter of fact, my ideal Saturday afternoon when its warm and no college football is on is sitting on a patio with a great girl, listening to live music and sipping beer. I love wine. I think its the greatest conversational beverage on the planet. You can't chug it. Therefore, you pass time while consuming it. I love good food. Both cooking it and eating at great places like Cellar 56, Top Flr, Ecco, and a few other places. I love sports bars and "hole in the wall" places. You will rarely, if ever, find me in a club. Therefore, if you like Opera and places like that, I'm probably not your guy. I love movies.

I am very close with my family. I have 4 sisters, a brother and my parents are important to me. I am also amazingly lucky to have great friends. We are all spreadout now, but I do whatever I can to get together with them when the opportunity presents itself. I have a great job too. I found my niche.

Therefore... I have 3 parts of the 4 part puzzle. That 4th part is the great girl to share it all with. I hope I find it.

Feel free to ask whatever questions you may have. I'm an open book.

The first date is totally dependent on the situation. I believe in meeting a cool place where both people can be comfortable and have good conversation. Subsequent dates and fun after that could yield better quality fun.
