Hi, I'm Derek. Just giving this a try, I recently became single in the last 6 months without much success. I've been out of the dating game for 5 years so I guess I'm a little rusty, yeah thats the problem lol. I have a 3 year old girl but not looking for someone to be her mom, she has one. Just be comfortable around a kid and that'll be fine. Looking for a woman who I can have a good time with. I'm tired of watchin kids movies lol. I want to date first, but if it turns long-term that is fine with me. I like sports, movies, reading, games. I can listen to any kind of music as long as its good. Want to do more outdoors stuff, the ex didn't being outside much. It's ok to go out sometimes but I'm not huge into clubs and bars. I do have a job that pays decent, but the hours are meh, weekend evenings but hopefully I can get better ones soon. I'm usually a bit shy at first but fine once I know someone. And once I do I have a bit of a teasing, sarcastic sense of humor, so please be able to take a joke. Anything you want to know just ask!

For a first date I'd prefer something simple really. Dinner, bowling whatever. As long as there is time to talk and get to know the person.
