I'm new to Austin. I moved here last year to be closer to my son who's now almost 3. **Disclaimer** I am responsible, independent, have a job, live on my own, but most of all I pride myself on being a good father to my little guy. I'm not looking for anyone to help take off the weight or responsibility from my shoulders but damn it would be nice to live, laugh, and smile again in my free time.

I'm as passionate as they come, and i'm always up for a great conversation or a good round of drinks. I think we live in a colorful world and life's too short not to live as if every breathe is our last.

I'd love to meet a captivating woman full of depth. Someone who's motivated and eager to live. Someone who enjoys a good night out but would be equally as happy watching a good sunset over drinks or seeing the sky light up during a thunderstorm. I want something in my life that brings out the best in me, and makes me see things in the world that sometimes my busy life misses.

If YoU TyPe LyKe DiS than I just am not the right guy to talk to, i'd rather learn an amazing quality from someone than decipher broken English.

If you consider yourself a great catch, an old soul, a master debater and conversationalist, or just enjoy a good conversation about something other than TMZ, the longhorns, or the latest designer bag....DONT HESITATE TO SAY HELLO.

Date# 1 That really depends on the person. I'd prefer a setting where we could actually talk and see how we get along. Maybe drinks from a smaller place with less of a crowd, an outdoor festival, kayaking, or maybe just cruising the greenbelt. I also love art so if you know a good museum i'm very much game. Remember that i'm new here so show me what Austin's got!

Date#2 Lets catch a movie, see a show, explore the city, conquer happy hour downtown!
