UPDATE: I have decided not to make first contact anymore to anyone on this site. I only gotten a couple replies in several weeks that I have been on here. I at least try to chat with everyone first to see if there is a connection. If there is no spark, I am always looking for new friends.

I have custody of my 8 year old son. I own my own condo, which I really want to sell to buy a house. I currently work at an Architectural/Engineering firm in Orlando as a computer draftsman. I am very fortunate that my employer is doing extremely well in this economy. I am currently attending UCF seeking a Civil Engineering degree. I have already acquired an AS degree in Graphic Design from SCC. I am also one class away from an AS degree in 3-D Architecture. I am as family oriented as you can get. I want to be successful so that I can provide some extra comforts that my family deserves.

I am looking for someone who appreciates the little things, like holding hands or giving the occasional, spontaneous out of the blue kiss. In my opinion, those things are what makes a relationship last. Honesty is the #1 quality I am searching for in someone. I am a very honest and passionate person and I am looking for someone who is the same. I believe we should enjoy every moment that we have while we are here. I like to have fun, but when the moment gets serious, I do as well.

What makes me unique is that I honestly don't do things just because everyone else is doing them. I do my own thing no matter what anyone else says. I love to play dodgeball and I am currently on a semi-pro football team. My son and I have annual passes to Universal, and go whenever we get a chance. I like all movies, but some of my favorites are considered a little strange. The same applies to my taste in music. I like anything from Black Metal and Rock to Classical and New Age (also some in between).

There is no perfect first date that fits every woman. Some women like the dinner and movie approach, while others may just want to meet for a drink and talk. Then there is everything in between.

I like to get an idea from the first conversation of what her interests are and then go from there.
