Well, what can I say. Writing an informative personal essay is never easy, but I thought it was about time to write something more than just "I'm fun to be around with." I'd like to meet a special WOMAN that can make me feel happy and in return I'll make her happy. I'm at a point in my life where it's all coming together, but it's missing that special person whom I can share my happiness with. Someone I can just hang out with and watch a chick flick with, watch a football game, a concert, or a nice night on the town.

No drama here and I expect the same from a partner. Life is too short to dwell on the past. We have to learn from it and move forward.

I'm an honest, down to earth guy. You'll always know where I stand because that is just me. I prefer the same in a woman. Many relationships fail because of a lack of communication and honesty. That is one thing I have learned.

I have 2 wonderful children that mean the world to me. They live with me half of the time, so my schedule is a little hectic at times. Needless to say, family is important and the woman I meet will have to understand that they are a big part of my life.

So if you're still reading on, feel free to message me. Maybe you can be the missing piece.

A good first date would be whatever we agree on. :) I'm pretty much open to anything.
