Please read all of my information and have a photo on your profile if you wish to correspond with me, thank you.

I’m a single dad of a 7 year old daughter and I take that responsibility very seriously. If you're looking for someone who does not have children, I'm not for you. I believe that I have a lot to offer the right lady and looking at a couple of my photos and reading this will never tell you who I really am. I'm strong, confident, honest, respectful, caring and look for good and humor in every situation. Bad things do happen to good people but I have learned to pick myself up and keep moving forward. I believe in doing the right thing even when others are doing the wrong thing to you. I believe that everyone deserves to have a bad day, why should I make it worse by being mean or rude back? I believe that it is important to make sound decisions and knowing and understanding the facts beforehand is just as important. I actually know and understand what love is and I know how to apply it in others’ lives. I strongly believe in the idea of “doing the next right thing”. I believe that we all have a responsibility to help and encourage people that are going through tough times even though we don't know them. However, I don’t believe in being an enabler. I don't understand people who are mean, abusive, controlling or jealous. No one ever has the right to control or attempt to own another person or infringe on their rights.

I'm looking for a happy, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually healthy lady. She needs to be honest and secure in who she is as an individual. She should be able to trust her partner in a relationship. She should know what love is and what it means to love and to be loved. She should be willing and able to emotionally begin a relationship and take the time to successfully build it properly.

I have read a lot of profiles and it seems that everyone is looking for the same thing, "that someone special", their "soul mate". Just a word of advice to those who read my profile: If you have had a bad marriage or a bad long term relationship. You need to take the time to improve who you are and improve your ability to be a better participant in your next relationship. If not, you may want to consider it. It could very well determine the outcome of the relationship you are now looking for. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope that everyone will find the wonderful person you are meant to be with, Ed.

A night out to a nice resturant and an activity after is ok, but I like to do something different. An afternoon visiting a museum, a picnic in a park, anything that is a break away from the norm. However, I do realize that testing the waters first is important for meeting for the first time. So meeting for a drink (coffee, tea, coke, your poison) and a conversation allows us the oportunity to cut things short if there is no connection. I'm a good sport and know I'm not a gift to all women. I'm very compatable, accomodating and uncreepy, I think. If anything, we'll have a nice conversation and hopefully I'll be able to make you laugh.
