I like music, shooting pool, photography, dancing, concerts, fairs, the park, the beach, swimming, spending time with my daughter, even sitting at home and watching a good movie.I am up to just about anything and am not afraid of trying new things and doing things that the person I am interested in or dating does.

I am a photographer and go to college for Computer Technology. I am a devoted father and am a package deal. I do not have full custody of my daughter but me and her mom have split time and my daughter is my world. I have been single for about 3 years now and have never been married. I love children and HATE dead beat dads. I can't believe some men don't want or are not there for their children. They are a blessing and I think these men are stupid.

I am a blunt, direct, and honest person who doesn't play games nor tolerates games being played on me. I am looking and respect a strong woman with her own ideas and opinions. I will never put you down for having your own opinion even when I do not agree with it. I want a woman that will love me for me and not try and change me as I will love her for her. A woman that knows it is all those little things about each other that we love the most and make us unique. A woman that is honest, caring and sees life with open eyes. A woman that judges people by their content of character. That understands love is work and takes understanding, forgiveness, commitment, communication and so much more. A woman that loves to have fun and laugh. A woman that I can look into her eyes and see her beauty shine from her soul and a smile that brightens the room. That appreciates a real man. I have met and talked to fake people so much and have read so many profiles of women asking where are all the real men and serious men and a men that don't play games. Well you're looking at one.

As for music well I like all kinds and have also been a disc jockey for weddings for about 15 years and some bars. So as long as it has a beat I'm good with it.

I am currently quiting smoking so have changed it to no but don't care if someone does smoke and hopefully I make it LOL :)

Well first dates are really hard to describe because it really depends on who the first date is with and their likes and dislikes. I am a pretty open person and don't mind the first date meeting for a drink or going out to dinner or a movie or a walk in the park. And I think the more casual the setting the better. I want to see as much as the real person as possible in the first date and want to show who I truly am also. So really the first date I would like to be honest is where ever is the most comfortable for who I am taking on a date.
